At 31 weeks this week, me and baby are doing very well! Last week's doctor appointment was a little scary. I was there on Wednesday for my normal check-up and she asked me to come in the following day to get a Preterm labor test called Fetal Fibronectin which tests the 'glue' and is able to tell if I were to go into labor in the next two weeks. Luckily this came back negative however the Doctor still asked that I don't lift anything heavier than 10 lbs and that I take it easy. 'Taking it easy' has become do-able in the last month but not lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs isn't so easy. My Jellie's (Ellie and Jack) weigh more than that so it kinda bummed me out that I can't lift my niece and nephew. But it is temporary just like the cellulite and stretch marks that have recently appeared. Also what I've realized is just temporary is the pinched nerve in my back as well as this little acrobat I have in my tummy! The baby is moving A LOT. Somersaults and kicks mostly. Occasionally I do think the baby uses my bladder as a punching bag but it's ok, as my sister say's "It only gets worse"....lol! Friday I had to take the 3-hr glucose test (results pending) and finally celebrated my Mom's birthday with dinner and ice cream!
With all the doctor drama last week I realized we need to get going on the baby's room! Nick worked so hard all weekend on the dresser and has put the first coat of primer on. Can't wait to pick out the color but this will be a little stressful. Please submit any suggestions! Saturday we took a trip to Ikea and got some much needed baby room items - picture frames, cubbies, shelves, curtain rod, etc. Heidi came over yesterday and helped me with the picture frames. I can't wait to show you all but I'll wait until we get a little further. Here is a picture of me and half of Jellie :) She is always playing with my camera phone!
