2 TRIMESTERS DOWN, 1 TO GO!!!

It's official!!! I am two thirds of the way done!!! It's a little scary to think that after all this time Baby Antfellner's arrival is just 12 weeks away.

I went in for my 6 month check up a couple of weeks back and at that time they had me come back for the glucose test (gestational diabetes). That is not fun. I had to drink this nasty drink that looked like fruit punch but tasted like cough medicine with about 2 cups of sugar. After an hour wait they drew my blood and I was sent on my way. About 4 days later I got the call that the test results were normal (Woo Hoo!!!) but my blood count is low which means I'm slightly anemic. So now along with my prenatal vitamin and I have to take an iron pill twice a day. This hasn't been the most pleasant experience. The additional iron makes me a little irritable so now I have to add additional fiber to my diet. Not fun!!!

The nursery is getting painted next weekend by my Aunt Les and Uncle Skip. Once that is done we can load in the furniture. That is what I am most looking forward to. Once that is done I can start really decorating in there.

With the holidays just around the corner it makes me a little scared to know that in no time he will be here demanding all of our time and love. So exciting but scary at the same time.

Nesting and Crib Shopping

It's officially started...(poor Ralph). My days now consist of planning and preparing. When I'm at home I sit in the baby's room and think of colors to paint and where the furniture will go. I look at the clothes that Grandma C. (Yep...that's you Mom)has bought and think...how many times should I wash them before our baby boy wears them??? I'm obsessed with getting the room ready and always feel like there is never enough time.


We went looking for cribs and bedroom furniture this week and after all the searching and comparing we found one we liked...until it got RECALLED!!! How could they do that to us!!! Now we have to start from square one and start all over. The worst part about it was we both really liked the color and the fact that it was a 4 in 1 convertible crib. So while at work (not really working) I browsed the internet and found one we both liked at Walmart. There are just so many choices and so many things to look for and make sure of. The bars cant be more than so many inches apart, do the pieces fit tightly, can the baby slip through the cracks...etc!


And to add to the constant urge to decorate I am now overly anxious to get this pregnancy over with!!! I am always wondering what he looks like and cant wait to hold him in my arms and kiss him all over...it's crazy!!! This is one thing they don't warn you about at your drs. appts.!
