I must be coming into the poking and prodding phase of pregnancy. Tomorrow I'm heading in to take the glucose test. I must admit, its a test I've been absolutely dreading since I first found out about it. I'm not crazy about working for 8 hours, then going to the lab to drink this sugary drink and wait around for an hour for my blood to get drawn. I just hope my sweet tooth gets me through and that I pass, because I really don't want to take the 3 hour one!
At the end of the month, I go in for my rhogam shot. Once I get past the glucose test, I will begin getting nervous about this too, I'm sure. I haven't had a shot since middle school so its pretty frightening. But I keep telling myself -- its for the baby and there are so many women who go through so much worse than this!
We've got 14 weeks left, can't believe time is going by so fast. We really have to start planning what we're doing with the nursery. We have a vague idea, but I need to get in that room and clean in out so we can paint it and start putting some furniture together. We've got the big stuff together -- crib, travel system (stroller and infant car seat), pack and play and a basically brand new swing I bought at a garage sale over the weekend. Plus that room is now overflowing with gifts that are starting to come our way -- baby clothes and bibs and a baby bath.
This Saturday, we go for our crash course in parenting -- a 3 hour class that promises to teach us everything we need to know. I'm already betting Rick catches on faster than me. This will be a new experience for us. We've never taken a class together so I'll get to see my husband, the student for the first time!
Shower invites to my hometown shower should be going out in a couple of weeks, for those who know they're getting an invite!! I know nothing about it, other than what's on the menu, so any questions...I hope my mom includes her email address so you can ask!
