Finally An Update!

Wow, its been awhile since I've updated.  The end of my final semester was CRAZY and took all of my focus.  So, I'll do a quick catch up on all that has been going on in the preggy world.

For the most part, I've been feeling pretty well since I hit my second trimester.  I did have a bizarre 4 days where the baby was laying on my sciatic nerve.  My left hip shot pain through my leg every time I moved and my left leg would become completely numb.  I did some research after finding out what it was and discovered that some women suffer from it their entire pregnancy.  OUCH!  Luckily for me, he randomly moved and it went away.  Huzzah!

I've been in nesting mode lately.  Organizing, cleaning, crafting things for the babies room.  I think we have decided on a rustic adventure theme.  I love Restoration Hardware, and have gotten a lot of ideas from them.  I just can not wait until he gets here and I finally get to hold him! Its going to be tough to wait another 4 months!

Tomorrow is my glucose test (Eeeek!).  I am NOT looking forward to guzzling nasty orange goo and waiting an hour to get my blood tested.  Plus- I'm have to fast tonight and tomorrow morning, which is every preggy person's nightmare! Hope John is prepared for a major grump tomorrow.  Hopefully all will go well, and I'll try to focus on the positive of hearing the little heartbeat one more time.
