Last week I made 20 burp cloths...my hope is that since I now have plenty of absorbent burp cloths ready, this baby will not spit up at all! Crossing my fingers!!!
I also made a blanket to go in the baby's car seat.
Friday I had to go in for my three hour glucose test. It wasn't too bad...I survived! I was glad that Jim took the day off of work so we could spend the rest of the day together with the boys. We went to Red Robin for lunch and shopping in Exton. I bought fabric for the curtains in the nursery and Eric found sneakers for school.
The doctor called on Monday and told me all but one of my numbers came back fine, so I DON'T have gestational diabetes, but I do have to watch my sugar intake....no more cookies, lemonade or ice cream :( I also have to go once a month for blood work. Could be worse....though I am now looking into alternatives for ice cream since that's all I want to eat this pregnancy. At least I only have 3 months left!
Saturday was Arts and Crafts Day at Vincent Church. The boys took the tractor to ride in the tractor parade!
They also liked riding the bumblebee ride and seeing the animals...of course the favorite was the turtle!
Saturday we worked on taking everything out of the nursery and Jim sanded and finished the floors on Sunday and Monday. They look great! Hoping to paint this weekend! We picked out a light gray color for the walls and the trim will get a fresh coat of white, as well as the baseboard heater covers.
Monday we spent the morning at Manderach Park with lots of Eric's friends. He had a blast with all his buddies. They are looking forward to being able to see each other every day at school next week, even though they aren't in the same class.
Tuesday night we went to the Reading Phillies game with the fire company. We sat in the left field picnic area which meant our food was included. The boys loved the nachos and cheese! We had a great time!
How far along? 28 weeks ~ Baby is the size of a large eggplant.
Maternity clothes? no new
clothes, but I bought a belly support band that has been wonderful for my sore
back and legs
Sleep: Still getting a stiff neck and
sore hips from sleeping on my side. Tried going back to using my pregnancy pillow and so far it's working better than the body pillow.
Best moment this week: Finishing the
floor in the nursery
Miss Anything? Nothing this
week
Movement: Baby is getting more and more active. Can feel movement on the sides of my belly…Jim has been able to feel him more and more.
