Baby Boy Update

I had a doctor's appointment this morning and just thought I would quickly update. I had gone last Wednesday to have my glucose screening test done and the results really came back borderline, but they aren't going to make me sit through a 3-hour glucose testing since everything was fine with my previous pregnancies. I also gained 8 lbs. this month which is almost double what I've been gaining per month and it kind of worried me a little. The doctor said to watch my carbohydrate intake and eat more protein foods, but that it is common for babies to go through a little growth spurt around now and it could just be that as well. She did say that they baby measured right on track, so she didn't think he was any bigger than he should be (they did say that same thing about Ally though, too). :) They will be watching my weight gain closely, to try and prevent a big baby delivery, especially since Allyson was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 2 weeks early. She said that, most likely, if I haven't delivered by 39 weeks, they will induce me. I also start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. I am feeling great, though...a little uncomfortable, but that's ok. This boy is very active...I thought the girls were active, but this one is something else. It's very fun!

Grandma's Visit

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I can't quite believe it's already been so long since I've updated our blog. Believe it or not, I've actually been keeping myself quite busy. I believe I have been going through a "nesting" phase. I never went through this with my pregnancies with the girls, or at least nothing to this extent. I have literally cleaned out and organized every closet and cabinet in our house, I think. I have also cleaned things that I wouldn't normally clean, at least on a regular basis, and some of them probably haven't been this clean since we've lived in this house.

We have also been working on taking the wallpaper down out of Abby's room. This has been hard work, but I don't think it is as hard as I expected. I was really dreading this project. We've got all of the wallpaper off now and my mom helped me this past weekend with going back over the walls and remove more of the wallpaper paste that didn't come off the first go 'round. This, I believe, is the worst of it. We have 2 walls to go and then we'll need to go through and spackle and sand and then, I believe we will be ready to paint. I can't wait for that! Poor little Abby is extremely excited to paint. She is living in a very "yucky" room right now and she can't wait to help with the painting. Once, we get the painting and decorating done, I believe it will be time to move Ally in to a big girl bed in Abby's room. That will be another exciting adventure!

Today, I've taken it easy. I've felt so lazy compared to how I've been feeling the past few weeks. I couldn't seem to pull my body off the couch or my head off the pillow. I guess I will be moving in to my 3rd trimester this week and to think I could deliver in about 10 weeks is pretty crazy to think about. It feels like so little time to get all the things done I would really like to get done. I'm sure it will happen in time, though!

The girls are both doing well and David is keeping busy as he begins to finish this semester of classes! The end is definitely in sight now and it won't be long for him now!
