Only 3 more months



I am so anxious for Adley to get here, but yet so unprepared. We have 13 weeks and 2 days (3 months and 1 day) until her estimated due date (April 29). We havent even started on her room yet........ah! We know what we want to do though. Her colors are going to be pink and brown. We are going to paint 3 of the walls pink and 1 brown. Everything at Babies R Us is so cute. We are registered there! We havent had any showers yet, but are starting to accumulate things rapidly. I can't resist seeing a cute little outfit and not getting it for her, neither can my mom lol. Andrew and I have started to get diappers whenever we go to target. We know thats what we will need the most of! My next drs appointment is on feb. 4th (next thursday), and i am way excited to hear her heartbeat again. I always worry until i do:) We are enjoying feeling her kick and dance around in my tummy. She is beginning to get very active, which i love! I have found myself constantly reading pregnancy books, and watching baby shows on TLC. wow. I keep thinking how long 3 more months is, but i can't believe how fast the first 6 have passed by. She will be here before we know it, and i cannot wait!

Prego Update:)

So, i went to the doctor today. I had to be tested for gestational diabetes. The stuff they make you drink, well lets just say it is not appetizing! You have to drink this really "syrupy" liquid that tastes like Koolaid mixed with a whole bag of sugar. On top of the grossness of it all, you have to drinl it with in 5 minutes, and if you throw it up you have to wait an hour and start all over again. Fortunatley, i got it all down in 4 minutes and did not regergitate it. lol. So, my appointment was at 10:00 am. I had to start drinking the "liquid" at exactly 9:10, and record the time i finished, which was 9:14. When you go in for your appointment they have to test your glucose and hemogloben at exactly one hour from the time you finished the drink (10:14). Although it seems complicated, i was suprised how easy it was when it was all over and done. My tests all came back well, adley's heart beating 140 beats/min, and my stomach measured 25 cm (while lying down). At 25 weeks you are supposed to measure appx. 25 cm, so we hit the nail on the head! The doc even said i was most likely the healthiest person he would encounter all day:) I always worry about Adley throughout the 3 week period b/t appointments but every time i go back she's perfect! She weighs around 1.5 lbs and is about 13 in long! wow! only 15 more weeks! we're getting so excited! My next check up is February 4th, then i start going every 2 weeks, until the last month i will start going every week! It's getting so close! I am so thankful that everything is going well. Andrew and I pray for Adley every day. He always blesses her when we say the blessing before dinner (it makes me cry). He's going to be a wonderful dad! I am so blessed!God is good, all the time!

I unwrapped these little baby converse on Christmas morning. They were one of my presents from Andrew:) I cant wait to see her wear them!
