Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! I can't believe I only have 11 weeks left... give or take... hopefully a week or two early as opposed to a week late!
How far along are you?
How far along are you?
29 weeks, 4 Days!
I think if it were possible for her to be born wearing silly things on her head, she would... Ha ha! She already will have a hat and a headband upon her arrival :)
Total weight gain?
21.4 lbs
Baby Information?
Heart rate was 145 at my appointment on Thursday. She has been very busy since we've been through 2 glucose tests in the last two weeks!

Any doctor news?
Blood pressure is 102/60. I failed my 1st Glucose Tolerance Test by 10 points, so I had to go for the 3-hour test on Thursday. Thankfully, when I called the nurse Friday, that came back normal! I just have to go in 4 weeks to have my B12, iron, and folate levels checked again. She also said my white blood cell count was a little elevated, but when I told her that I had a sore throat and was getting over a stomach bug, she said that was why it was a little higher than normal!
Best moment ?
Finding out I passed the 3-hour test. What a load off of my mind!
Worst moment ?
Family illness is happening on both sides of my family. It is hard being down here when things like this happen.
Stretch Marks?
Still no. Lots of lotion!

Maternity clothes
Obviously. Except for this shirt, which I was determined to squeeze myself into for St. Patrick's Day! Notice the extra long maternity tank top underneath... hee hee!
Symptoms
Heartburn. Have to use the bathroom a lot. Minor nosebleeds. All the fun stuff that comes along with 3rd trimester!
Cravings
Grapes. Water. I seriously can't drink enough lately!
Gender?
As far as I know, she is still a girl! I'm sure as I get farther along, they will want to do more ultrasounds to make sure she isn't going to be as big as Lucas!
Sleep?
This time change is KILLING me. Lucas' sleep clock is all screwy, mine is all screwy. I lay awake until at least 11 every night lately. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with it this year! Lucas goes to bed each night arguing, "Mommy, its not nap time yet... the sun is still up!" Ahh, the joys of living in Florida during Daylight Savings Time. Wait til summer comes and the sun is still up at 8:30!

What I miss?
Being able to scoop up Lucas whenever I want to. He weighs 30 lbs. It just isn't happening these days. So, we spend lots of time cuddling on the couch.
What I'm looking forward to?
Getting the house organized. Scott's mom and her friend helped us by emptying out the two guest room closets. Now I just have to go through everything they took out!
We have the paint color all set. It is called Wisteria. Once Scott remembered that purple was Elvis' favorite color, selling him on a purple girl room was easy... ;-)
I also registered at Target. Even though we are only having a shower at school, I kind of wanted to make a list of what I had to get so that we aren't running around like crazy people the week before she arrives!
