Pregnancy is going so fast!!!! Before we know it our little girl will be here!
Everything has been going really well - I had a really busy last few months work wise. I was filling in for my company at Heartland Girls Ranch out in Benson which was a 3 hour drive for me two days a week. This made for some really long days because I had to fit in my clients on top of the Ranch. I am now done there - we hired someone full time so looking forward to getting back to just a normal 40 or so hour job a week :)
I had a lot of energy during the 2nd trimester and hope to keep it a while longer into the 3rd trimester. Let's see some fun things that happened since I posted last - I feel our little girl move everyday and a lot!! She is one busy little person!
Shawn has felt her move several times as well - in fact this morning when he was reading her a story (reading my belly a story!) she started kicking - so I think she recognizes his voice!!
Also I did hit a hiccup and failed my first glucose screening - which is a test for gestational diabetes. I had to go back and spend 4 hours in the lab and got my blood drawn 4 times - they actually poke you in the same spot twice!! Anyways I passed that screening with flying colors - so don't have to worry about gestational diabetes which was a relief. I have been trying to eat healthy and continue to work out but I figured once they told me I couldn't eat junk food is when I would start craving it.
Speaking of cravings - my favorite foods have been popcorn, meatballs, and oranges!!! Of course not all together but love all 3!
I am still feel like I am still really mobile and can do most things :) I hope this feeling also last a while longer!
Shawn and I went to an all day Childbirth Prep Class on Saturday! It was a long day but I felt like we really learned a lot!! Some of the topics were: nutrition, exercise, public health programs, labor and delivery, newborn care, car seat safety, bottle feeding, nursing info and more... It was a fun experience to do together and we left thinking we learned a lot! Shawn's one comment after the labor and delivery section to the class was man I think the C Section looks a lot easier :) ha we watched a video of a delivery!!
This week will be a fun baby week - I have an ultrasound on Wednesday that my mom is coming down to come a long with!! We are then painting and setting up the nursery!! Well I guess my mom and Shawn are since I can't lift heavy things and can't paint - bummer NOT! But I am so excited to post pics of it when it is done!
So I am now into the 3rd trimester!! I am 28 weeks - which 37-40 weeks is full term :) We are getting really excited to meet the little kicker!
Hope to update again soon!!
