Baby Shower!!

It's a boy!!

I had my baby shower in PA on October 17. Stan, Lisa and I set out at 8am that Saturday to trek up to PA in the rain. We had a delicious breakfast at Cracker Barrel and arrived in
Milton a little before 12. The shower was at 1, and I arrived a few minutes after to a room full of family and friends. It was beautiful! My mom had gotten me a Boyds bear with a baby boy outfit, and that was the theme of the shower.

I got to visit with everyone and eat, and then I started on the task of opening gifts. They were never-ending! Everyone was so generous, and our baby boy will be the best dressed pierogie in MD! Stan came down for the gift opening, and he even got a gift to open that included a pee pee teepee to avoid all those spraying "accidents" while changing little boys. :) After presents came cake, and before I knew it, it was 4pm, and I was ready for a nap!

Thanks to everyone who came and made it special, and extra special thanks to my mom for all of her hard work. It was everything I could have hoped for and more! I love you all!

Nay, Ali and Me - Nay is due the day after me, even though it looks like I am 50 weeks pregnant, and it looks like she is 20 weeks pregnant! :)

Another Sonogram!

Because I was measuring 2 weeks ahead, we got to have another ultrasound to check on the weight of our lil pierogie. I was 30 weeks and 5 days when I had it, and he was measuring exactly 30 weeks and 5 days! He was at the 50th percentile, and he was weighing 3 lbs 11 oz. I asked Dr. Esposito if he could swing by and make sure he was still a boy, which he did, and he is! Whew!

I didn't pass my first glucose test, so I had to go and take the 3 hour test, which was horrible! I had to follow a diet for 3 days, and then fast the night before the test. I couldn't have anything until the test was over (around 1pm). I had to have my blood drawn as soon as I went in, and then I had to drink the glucose syrup and have it drawn again every hour for 3 hours. Those results came back that I had one high number. If you have 2 high numbers, you have gestational diabetes, so technically, I don't have it, but since I had the one high one, they want to make sure, so I have to take the 3 hour test again! I am NOT looking forward to that, but I know it's just to make sure the baby is ok, so it's a small thing for me to go through to make sure we're having a healthy pierogie. I have an appointment on October 29, so I will have my next 3 hour test the following week.

I also had my first baby shower on October 17 up in PA. It was wonderful. Details and pictures to follow!
