So I was told by a friend of mine at work that Im not very good at keeping my blog up to date so here we go:) I am 30 weeks today!!! I cant believe in 10 weeks or less Olivia will be here.... sometimes I still cant believe I am pregnant... even though she is doing somersaults all day long. Very sureal. I had my glucola test a few weeks ago... which tests for gestational diabetes.... my sugar was a little too high so I had to take another test a week later. The first test wasnt so bad... drink a sugar drink and get a blood sugar. Then the office called and said I need to do a three hour test. Here is the only good part... I got to carb load for 3 days before the test!! I loved that:) Then I had to drink another sugar drink and have my blood sugar checked every hour a few hours. That drink made me feel so bad.... I just wanted to lay down on the floor of the waiting room... and puke. However.... I maintained my composure and stayed in my chair..... and thankfully after 2 hours my sugar was ok... and I am not gestational diabetic! Thank God because I have been craving chocolate sooo much and Im so glad I CAN eat it... it really is the little things that make me happy. So ANYWAYS.... we have been working on Olivia's room... her furniture is up and in it's place... and I love it. I was really worried since I bought it online without seeing it... but it looks great. I also had my first baby shower and recieved alot of goodies for Olivia; she is racking up! A good friend of mine, April, came in from Knoxville and surprised me.... and of course my emotional self cried when I saw her... however... not as much as she did when I told her I was pregnant. (she had tears of joy among other things) I hope she reads this and giggles... she will know why. Other than that Ben and I have been getting ready for Christmas and waiting patiently for February!! I actually have all my shopping done.... and I usually dont even start until now so I am way ahead of the game!! I think that is about all the blabbing I have for now... off to bed for me!
