24 Weeks - I am getting HUGE. I don't know how I am going to make it another 14 or so weeks (yes, I am planning on her coming early - wishful thinking). I can't stand sleeping on my side, apparently I have poor circulation (Andy just told me that), and Stella does Kung Fu in my stomach which is not so comfortable - and keeps me up at 2am - and then kicks my bladder and makes me have to pee. She kicks A LOT - especially at night. And from what I hear, the schedule they keep in your tummy is the schedule they come out with......Stella is not a sleeper!!We started painting her room today (or I should say, Andy started painting). Should be done tomorrow and then the carpet cleaners are coming Monday - yeah!! Her crib was ordered and should be here next week.....we are getting a rocking chair and dresser from my parents. They are also letting us use the bassinet for her first few weeks so she can be in our room - I hear it is easier that way at first since they are up and eating every few hours. The bedding is almost done as well - it looks so pretty. I can't believe I helped make it! Who would have thought I was crafty enough to make baby bedding =)
SO I have the Glucose test Monday....let me tell you what an unhappy person I am going to be if the test does not come back normal. I don't have a sweet tooth....I have sweet teeth! I have always been a desert person and I always will be. I am actually on the hypoglycemic side of the spectrum normally, so I am hoping my glucose levels will come back in the normal range being pregnant. Oh well, I guess we will find out soon enough. I will go ahead and eat lots of cake in the mean time...just in case ;-)
Good luck on the Glucose test! Having Gestational Diabetes was definitely a challenge. Although, it did teach me to eat healthier. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're looking so good! Can't believe how fast time is going. Don't worry about the baby's sleep patterns. Gabriel (although he still wakes 1 time a night at times) was a good sleeper and napper for the most part. And he was a party animal at night in the womb. I swore somewhere inside of me there was a soccer game going on. Just wait until she can really stretch your belly! lol
Sleeping on your side will get easier the bigger you get, and stretch your top leg out in front of you and elevate it if you can. Put it on top of Andy. That made a huge difference for me.
Good luck keeping her in the room. Gabriel was such a noisy sleeper (still is) that I couldn't do it. But, I know a lot of people do and really love it.
Can't wait to see pictures of the room and furniture.
