Week 28 Update

Just a quick update!

Yesterday was my 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I was 2 points above the maximum results of my 1 hour test so they ordered the 3 hour test. Initially I refused to do it because I remembered how awful it was when I was pregnant with Madison, only to pass the test with no issues. But after my last doctor's appointment they convinced me to do it. And, alas, it sucked again.

On the 7th I had some contractions that scared me so I went to the Chambersburg Hospital to be monitored. All is well, the contractions weren’t regular but were pretty painful, which they shouldn’t be if they are just practice ones. They did a protein test that’s good for two weeks that came back negative, so apparently I will not go into labor for the next two weeks, which is awesome because it’s entirely too early for him to come out!

My hips continue to give me issues. I’m definitely waddling and moving around in bed or not  sitting completely flat hurts. I did get a belly support band that helps a little but I can’t wear it too long.

Baby Stuff

I took a trip to Target and got a few frog themed items. I’m afraid that the things I see available for purchase now will disappear before people buy us anything for him. So, yeah, I’ve spent quite a bit on some clothes. Just last night I ordered a lot from Old Navy because, I <3 Old Navy, and they have some adorable frog outfits! Here’s what I got at Target:

See? Too cute! I’ll be sure to post the Old Navy purchases next week.

You can see our current baby registries. We have one on Amazon as well as Target. Both are pretty much the same but Amazon has some other items because they have the Universal Wish list option, where you can put items from any website on your list. I like that feature. Plus Amazon is usually cheaper than Target.

 

We also picked up his changing table from JCPenney yesterday but haven’t put it together yet. We were supposed to take home his dresser too, but it arrived damaged so we asked them to ship it back and try again. They were really great to work with and gave us 10% off the replacement dresser. I wasn’t there to see the damage, I was busy taking a 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test, which sucked and ruined my day. I planned to paint his room but I had NO energy to speak of after I got home from the test. So, we’ll be trying to paint his room today. :)

ETA:

We got the walls painted and after dinner I hung up the valances! Here’s what it looks like so far:
