This past week was full of celebrations. We celebrated Scott's 26th birthday and my mom threw me a baby shower. I can't believe all of the great gifts that we got from our family and friends. This baby girl is already spoiled, and I feel like I am too. It was a great excuse to have a party with family and friends and catch up on everyone's lives, not to mention talk about babies and baby stuff. Unfortunately Scott had to wait to see all of baby girl's loot, because he was away on a hunting trip, putting all of his birthday presents to good use.
I always miss Scott when he's away, but I felt like it was even harder this past weekend. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones or something, but I could not wait for him to get back. I was so happy when he decided to come back a day early!
We celebrated Scott's birthday on Monday with Monday night football, and a doctor's appointment. The worst part of our appointment was drinking my glucose drink for my glucose tolerance test. Ugh... it said that it was fruit punch flavored, but it was just plain nasty. I barely got it all down, and really had to focus on not letting it all come back up. Other than that, everything still looks good. I seem to be measuring on the big side, so it will be interesting to see what baby girl looks like when we go in for our next ultrasound on Thursday. I'll be sure to give an update with the glucose and ultrasound results once they're in.
The third trimester is starting to set in, and I'm really starting to feel huge. I can't believe that I still have 12 weeks to go. I don't know how much more I can grow. I definately feel like I've moved out of that "cute pregnant" phase and more into just the big phase. My ankles are always swollen now, and my single stretch mark has multiplied. The next couple of weeks are going to be a little rough, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to meet our baby girl.
