We are one week away from being in the 3rd Trimester! I can't wait! We are so close!
Delaney & I had our glucose test yesterday (5/15) to ensure that we don't have gestational diabetes. The test consisted of me downing a bottle of "drink" as it was labeled which tasted like a flat, over-sugared bottle of Sunkist or maybe like a children's orange flavored cough syrup....yuck. I was given a generous (not!) 5 minutes to drink that bottle and then we waited for an hour and had several tubes of blood drawn to test our blood sugar & several other normal tests that are completed at this time in the pregnancy. I'm sure all is fine, but we wont know for a couple days.
Nursery News
I received a call from JCP about the nursery furniture! Seems as though it wont be here until after Delaney arrives..... just kidding :) Jason fell for that too!! They said that the back order date of July 12 was actually canceled due to the shipment arriving early :) Miss Delaney's furniture will be here the last week of May!! So excited! Hopefully, the nursery will be painted by then and we can start putting things away! Here are some of the "before" pictures of the baby's room (excuse the stuff in there, I'm still attempting to clean it out!).
I also started painting a few things for Miss Delaney's room - be nice... i just started these & they are no where near being finished :)
Holland Mechanical News
Jason got a new customer yesterday :) Cantina South - it's a new restaurant downtown and they are all ours! Exciting! He also met with a couple other people so hopefully we will see some calls coming in from them shortly!
And in Other News
I have started 2012 Summer Semester at school & I'm taking another Sociology course. After this one I only have 4 more to go and then it's graduation time :) After graduation time.... well, then it's more school time! But I'm getting there, sllllllooooowwwwllllyyyy but surely! Persistence is key right?
Mommy at 26 weeks pregnant:
- I get no sleep - already.
- Lots of Braxton Hicks contractions... normal...
- Out of breath frequently - the doc says that's due to increased blood flow & the baby pushing my lungs & diaphragm up higher and smushing them (yes, smushing was the technical term used :))
- And just to share... my uterus is approximately the size of a basketball.... ouch.
Delaney Bug (Mommy's "De Lady Bug"):
- She is about 14 inches long-ish and weighs about 2 pounds
- She is soaking in mommy's antibodies that will prepare her for life out here so she won't get sick :)
- She has started to take breaths in there... of amniotic fluid that is :) Just practicing to be able to breathe once she is here.
