Sick and tired

Ummmm alrighty then..........the doozy of a head cold turned into a scene from the exorcist. You know which one I'm talking about. So I've been sick and in bed for the last 2 days, not sure if it was food poisoning or a virus. But finally I'm starting to feel better and the cold is also almost gone. Whoohoo!!

Let's see, what else has been going on. We had our child birthing class and hospital tour this past Sat. WOW, I don't think I've ever seen so many pregnant women before. I did learn some things and hopefully will remember them come Oct or sooner. There are only 7 weeks left until I'm full term. Yikes!!

Since I failed the Glucola Testing by a few points, I now have to do the 3 hour this coming Sat. I'm really not looking forward to that at all. Sitting in the Quest Lab for 1 hr was bad enough. I've read that just because you fail the 1 hr doesn't mean you'll fail the 3 hr. So keep your fingers crossed. I really don't want to be diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.

There is good news to report though, I only gained 1 lb this time around and now that I'm thinking of it, I don't believe I shared the good news from the last time. 0 lbs weight gain. That means so far I've gained 14-15 total. (I'm still going with the 1 lb less, if you remember what I had mentioned in an earlier entry, so that means 14lbs total) The doctor said the heart rate was in the 140's and that it appears he is head down facing my back. Please, baby, stay that way for the next 10 weeks. hahaha. I just want to reiterate that I'm not afraid of gaining weight but that with starting out overweight I need to be careful.

Aside from being sick, everything is well and Jacob is happily kicking away as I type this. I love to sit here and watch my stomach move, it's surreal. We're still working on the nursery and waiting on the arrival of the furniture. I can't wait til it's all done so I can post pics.

now I had another experience with my grandson. I went with Rachel to the dr. and had to priviledge to hear Jacob's heartbeat. It brought tears to my eyes...and I just can't wait to hold you...my darling little boy!!!
