Nesting mode

Baby's room is slowly starting to take shape. It is off our bedroom where we will be able to see the crib directly from our bed. We first have to put in the new windows and then I can really start getting the room ready. I bought this great dresser at Ikea as well as a few other little accessories and we already have the perfect fuzzy white carpet we bought a while ago with baby in mind as well as a great shelf. Next on the list is crib shopping and then we'll have all the major pieces for the room. I am excited to put it together.

Yesterday I had my monthly doc's appointment and all is well. I am at 26.5 weeks and have gained a total of 18 pounds. It always amazes me to hear the heart beat and after the appointment baby was kicking like crazy. The only test I have left to take is a glucose test (which tests for gestational diabetes) next week as well as get a Rhogam shot (since I am A- blood type and Jim is A+, it prevents me from building up antibodies that would attack blood cells that are positive. For example, since I am A- and baby should have blood type A+, my body would build antibodies that would attack baby. If baby's blood type is confirmed positive at birth, I will be given the shot again to protect future pregnancies). Only about 13 weeks to go!
