29 Weeks

Levi says: bump is getting bigger this week, Lily is getting some sass and kicks dad once in a while. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. Baby's room is dang near finished, can't wait for this thing to be over with, but I'm sure that honey-do list will continue to grow once that's done! Going to the boundary waters this week, I'm a little paranoid, I don't want to be out of town in case anything happens. Very excited for my daughter to be born. The day can't come soon enough.

First Baby Shower !

This morning, my 3 male co-workers hosted a baby shower breakfast for Levi and I at school. They did a fantastic job and were very creative with the decorations. They had onsies hanging from a clotheline, centerpieces that included a diaper filled with mini candy bars, and a paper baby. They had the students create cards with advice for us (mostly to spoil her or not to spoil her) and baby name suggestions. It's interesting how many thought I should name the baby after them...or that it should be called: Mary, Bennetella, Deniece, or Beyonce just to name a few.

Glucose Test Results

A week ago last Wednesday I had my Glucose Test and FAILED; I was so bummed. The cut-off was 140 and I had a 151. The next step was to take the 3 hour test which I did this past Wednesday. Levi came with me to the hospital where I had fasted for the previous 12 hours. The first blood draw was to check my fasting level, followed by a highly sugar concentrated liquid that I had to drink. Each hour for the next three, they drew more blood. My results came back later that day and I passed the test; what a relief.

Nursery Update

We spent Sunday afternoon working on the closet in the nursery. I had no idea how time consuming it was to put together closet organizers...5 hours later, we were finally finished!!
Recently, we hung the chandelier that came from my mom's house.
With each day, the nursery seems to be coming together more and more.

27 Weeks

The home stretch has officially begun!! Today starts my 3rd and final trimester. Baby Geinert is constantly moving around and kicking me; I love it. At this weeks doctors appointment, I will have my Glucose Test done that looks for Gestational Diabetes. I have my fingers crossed that all will go well with the test. We continue to work on the nursery with our next project being the closet. We hope to have that finished soon, and I will be sure to put up some pics. Besides some back pain when I sit for long periods of time, I have been feeling great.
