Holidays

Thank you everyone for helping make our holiday season so memorable. We have had a great week off and are now, in the aftermath of Christmas, relaxing a couple more days before (one of us) returning to work.

Baby update: We had our 30 week appointment on 12/24. I was measuring right where we need to be but the baby was being an escape artist and not letting the midwife figure out his position. We ended up having a quick ultrasound to determine location. He was breech as of Thursday, but he is a mover so I am not entirely sure he still is. She also told me that my placenta is great so I don't need to be eating as much as the previous trimesters...which is weird because I am often STARVING. My glucose screening came back extremely low (mine was 65 and I think the level to be concerned about is somewhere in the 130-140 and up range). So, that being said I am now trying to eat small amounts all day long to keep my levels up, while limiting my sugar. Well, I guess today is day one of this because how could I not gorge on Christmas with my Mom's mud pie :)

Update

We had another appointment last Friday and things were right on track. I am now 28 weeks pregnant (wahoo third trimester) and measuring 28 cm, which is right were we should be. I had a blood draw, which really hurt, (some people should not be given needles)and I find out tomorrow if I have gestational diabetes or anemia. My midwife told me that I need to start having fun stop and worrying so much because I am evidently "perfect" but it is hard to believe that for some reason.

He is moving like crazy, sometimes waking me up at night but not too bad. I am trying to say movement or wiggling in the presence of children instead of kick because Lucas said kicking isn't nice.

The biggest thing in our lives coming up is going to be working on the nursery this winter break. We already have the changing table put together but still have the crib, to paint the shelves and to start making sense of all the things we have piling up in the room. I took before pictures but will post them along with the progress pics to give the real effect.

Beyond baby preparations and my growing belly, we are just enjoying getting ready for Christmas and looking forward to having some time off together.
