earlier this week i had to do my 1 hour glucose test, which consisted of me drinking a bottle of glucose drink (like concentrated orange crush without the carbonation...gross) and having my blood drawn an hour later to screen for gestational diabetes. well, i got a call today and everything is normal, no diabetes for me, yay!
this week jamie and i have been painting the spare room in preparations for turning it into a cute little nursery. i was worried that the color i picked out would look awful on the walls, but it really looks great. i'm so relieved. even though i am a former and future designer, paint color always is the hardest thing for me. in my head i know what i want it to look like, but you never know what the light is going to do to it. and i spend a LOT of time thinking about color...i can see why non-visual people have a hard time. i will post some pictures when my vision starts to take shape! i got some closet organizational things which made me giddy.
yesterday mk and i went to the bookstore, and i got some little books for the little one. i was waaayyyy too excited, and mk had to cut me off. i love picking out the books i loved when i was a kid and getting them for my own child. it is seriously the greatest thing ever. today i got:
the very hungry caterpillar
the very busy spider
that's not my puppy! (a new one, but i wanted a book about dogs)
the monster at the end of this book with grover (okay, i had this as a little golden book and not as a mini cardboard book...and i get that maybe it's not good for a baby. i'm thinking ahead people...)
clifford the big red dog (in honor of mk...she hardly remembers, but she was obsessed)
great little gems to add to the collection. we also got a baby name book that a friend recommended. middle names are hard!
i am feeling large, large, large. i feel distinct limbs moving around in my belly, and it is constant. my belly moves around at nighttime like a puppy under a blanket. i am not kidding. i think i passed the "cute pregnant belly" stage and am entering into LARGE territory. a little scary. if i sneeze, i'm afraid i'll burst open my tummy. crazy. but besides that, i love being pregnant. it's just so magical!
