On Friday (1/20) Baby H welcomed her second Gonzaga friend, Lily Itule! Our friends Robyn and Billy did not know the sex of their baby, so all day I waited by the phone in anticipation. I truly thought they were going to have a boy because what are the odds that all 4 of our AZ friends would have girls? When I received the text saying it is a girl, I was so excited! How amazing it is it that Baby H has so many girlfriends! Robyn and I keep saying it is our own "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!" It is so much fun meeting our friend's babies. Bill and I were on a walk this week, and we kept talking about how we are just getting so excited to meet our little girl! We still have a lot to do to get ready, but we are starting to make some progress!
We got our glider and ottoman this week (thanks mom + dad!), and it is literally the most comfortable chair I have sat in. I sometimes just go in her room to relax in it. We also bought our dresser this week, which Bill is putting together as I write. I cannot wait to have her clothes in it, and out of our living room. One thing I was never prepared for was how messy our house would get while getting ready for Baby H. Piles are all over the house (garage sale, baby things, shed things, getting rid of things), but the good thing is the piles are getting smaller. My hope is to have this house back to normal by the middle of February. If I could do my last 6 weeks of pregnancy in a clean, uncluttered house, I think I will be very happy!
On Tuesday (1/24) I had a doctors appointment and the most dreaded glucose test. I do not like having my blood drawn, so I was nervous all week. And I had heard about the horrible sugar drink I was going to drink. But to my surprise, it was not bad at all. The drink tasted like an orange soda (yum!) and the blood work was easy. Bill and my nurse kept me busy talking, and the test was over before I knew it. Everything continues to be healthy with Baby H too! Her heartbeat was 147bpm and I am measuring 28cm...exactly where I should be. And I have gained 20lbs, which is so weird to hear from your doctor that you are perfect with you weight gain. Being pregnant is the only time when your doctor will congratulate you on your weight gain. I cannot believe I have gained 20lbs because I honestly don't feel like I have. Yes, my legs have gotten a little bigger, but not what I expected. Other than my boobs and stomach, I am not really sure where all this weight is. Oh well...no complaints from me!
