Third Trimester...here we come!

So I can't believe I'm actually beginning the final trimester. Time flies when you're pregnant! It's just amazing to me that our sweet baby will be here in 3 months...or less! And I'm really hoping he comes a little early, especially since he's already measuring large. I've had several friends deliver at 37 weeks and I'm all about that! Lots of walks and jumping jacks are in order at that point...ha! Well, I'm sure our little guy will come when he's ready :)

I went to my dr. appt. last week and took the standard blood glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. I got my blood drawn, drank this really sugary fruit punch drink (it tasted like Koolaid...yum!) and got my blood drawn again an hour later. Not a big fan of needles, but the lady that does it is really nice and good at distracting you while she's poking. So I'll post the results when I get them (hopefully next week). I'm hoping I don't have it - they say 7-8% of all pregnant ladies get it.

While at the doctor they checked the baby's heart rate and it was 150. It's been consistently on the high side of normal so that whole myth about girl's having higher heart rates has been proven false! I'm also going to the doctor every 2 weeks from here on out. I'm so happy about that! It's always something to look forward to :)

Well, we registered last Friday and had so much fun at Babies R Us. It started out a little overwhelming, but got easier the further we got into it. We picked out the cutest little Froggy mobile! I love it! The colors for the room are going to be sage green and dark brown. The room is really coming along too. Bryan put the crib together and positioned the rocking recliner. I think getting the room ready has gotten me even more excited about meeting our little man! Well that, and seeing a 2 day old baby last weekend! A friend of mine, Wanda, just became a grandma a week ago Thursday and I visited her and Samantha, the mama, and Paeyton Elizabeth, in the hospital. She was just so precious and little!

Other than that, things are fairly uneventful. More updates as they come!
