Hi there! Sorry it has been so long since I posted anything, but we have been really busy. Happy belated Father's Day to all the Dads and Dads-to-be! Justin spent his Father's Day painting Tristan's room, and it looks great. I felt bad because I had to work all weekend and didn't get to do anything special for him on Sunday, but one of his friend's mom was cooking, so he went over there for dinner. I got him a card and a golf club (he just has to go pick it out still), and Tristan got him one of those cards you can record a message on. I used the doppler at work and recorded his heartbeat on it. It kind of sounded like a dog barking but Justin knew exactly what it was. I was hoping he didn't think it was a card from Nakita and Lacey!
We were busy this past weekend working on Tristan's room some more. We got the chair rail put up (thanks Hal and Steve for all your help!!!), but still need to do some touch up painting on it. We also sanded and stained the twin bed that will be in the nursery. It was so humid that day and it took forever to dry, so it still needs one more coat of stain. But at least we are a little closer to being finished! I finally ordered the bedding but it will probably be a few weeks before it comes in. Then I guess we will work on geting the furniture in there. We still have a little time left, at least that's what I keep telling myself!!
Before........During........
Working Hard!!!
I had a doctors appointment this past Monday, and it didn't exactly go as I wanted it to. My blood pressure was fine (100/70), Tristan's heart rate was good, my belly is measuring the right size (even though I still haven't gained any more weight), but.......I failed my glucose test. This test is for gestational diabetes. I had to drink this really nasty sweet stuff and then have my sugar checked in one hour. It was 143 and the cutoff is 140. So I have to go back on Tuesday to do it again, but this time it will take three hours. And I have to do this crazy high, high carb/sugar diet for three days prior to the test. The only part I am looking foward to is that I get to eat milk and cookies three times a day. Hopefully I will pass this time though, or I will have to start checking my glucose after I eat, and if I can't control it with diet, I will have to take medicine. A lot of people I talked to who failed their one hour test said that they passed their three hour test, so hopefully it will be the same for me! I guess we will find out on Tuesday.
I posted some new belly pics. I don't look a whole lot bigger, but sometimes I feel huge! Tristan is quite the active little guy, and he is pretty strong. Justin has gotten to feel him kick a lot. The other night we were laying on the couch and you could see Tristan going crazy in there. You didn't even have to put your hand on my belly, you could just see him kicking away. It's okay with me that he is active, at least I know he is doing good in there!
