29 weeks (almost)

On Saturday, I will be 29 weeks. Time sure is flying! So much has happened lately. We had our trip to TN last weekend. All went well - no air sickness, thank goodness!! I only had a little bit of swelling in my feet on Sunday, but I think that's because I was sitting outside, and it got pretty warm. We had a great visit with Stan's dad and stepmom, and some delicious food! :) Pictures will follow when I get a chance to download them.

We got home, and I had my glucose tolerance test that Monday morning. I found out Tuesday that I didn't pass. :( I have to go next week for the 3 hour test - yuck! We had an appointment today. The doctor said that a lot of people fail the first one, but only 40% of them fail the 3 hour one. I assured him that I am usually a straight A student, and he said we would think of the first one as a pre-test, and if I pass the next one, we'll throw out the pre-test. He also told me that I need a flu shot, which I am terrified about (only because it's a shot, and I'm not a fan of needles). I am still measuring 2 weeks ahead, and I am scheduled to have a sono 2 weeks from today to check to see how much the baby weighs. As the doctor was feeling my belly today, he said, "That's all baby, right there!" I guess that's better than saying it was all fat! :)

Baby Pierogie's parents are getting very anxious to meet him (although we want him to cook for as long as he needs to be healthy). Conversations between the mom and dad-to-be have changed from, "I can't believe we're pregnant" to "Wow, we can feel him move," to "I can't wait to hold/hug/cuddle him." Every time we see a little one, we both get the feeling that we can't wait until he's here!

We now have a mattress in the baby's crib, so the nursery is pretty much ready. Daddy painted the closet this week because Mommy was too lazy to empty it when she painted the room back in January. :) Once we get everything hung, I will take some more pictures to post. We tell everyone that the nursery is ready - we just need the baby!
