Baby G Update

Yesterday I had my 28 week checkup with the glucose test.  I was really nervous going into the test- knowing they had to take so much blood and I had to drink some nasty stuff.  I actually did very well (no thanks to my nerves!).  They took my blood without me passing out and I didn't cry or anything! :) I think I got over the crying part a while back, but the passing out still seems to be an issue.

 

Little man is doing well and is still growing.  I go back to the Doctor the week before Christmas and then I start going every two weeks.  I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. 

 I found these fun facts on a website that I thought would be neat to share: 

199 days down, 81 to go!

On another note, we close on our house Friday!  I can't believe it's already here.  I am so excited to start working on it and helping out as much as I can - but ultimately seeing the major change in what a lot of paint and flooring can do!  It's going to be a good few weeks! We are so hoping that we can stay there Christmas Eve and then move in hopefully by the beginning of January.
