Another Doctor's Appointment

We had another appointment yesterday. Well, actually two appointments. I had to have my glucose test. I was not able to eat after 11pm the night before. Luckily I was able to switch shifts with someone at work, so I didn't have to work the overnight shift while I was fasting. After drinking a very very sweet orange flavored liquid I had to wait an hour and then have my blood drawn. The drinking and having my blood taken wasn't the hard part. The hardest part was having to wait an hour in between. Poor Joe had to work the night before so he didn't have any sleep. I should get my results sometime next week. Hopefully I passed it. If not I will have to go back for the three hour glucose test.
After the glucose test we headed across the street for the doctor's appointment. It was another quick one. Doctor came in and checked the heartbeat. The heartbeat was 153 bpm. Doctor said that she (the baby) is a little mover. I think she was hyper off of the sugary drink. Doctor said everything is looking good (including my weight). The doctor also told my that I will have another ultrasound (not at my next one, but the one after that which should be in May). My next appointment is scheduled in three weeks, April 28th. I'm glad I don't have to wait four weeks anymore between appointments. We were also told when we left, that some of our appointments may have to be moved to the new hospital if the doctor is delivering a baby at the time. Since the tower part of the hospital isn't moved into the new hospital yet (and they think they won't be there until 2010), some appointments may be moved over there. That's ok with me. It will give me a chance to get a look at the new hospital before the baby arrives. Some time in May I am going to set up a chance for Joe and I to take the tour of the hospital. I'm glad we will be in the new hospital instead of the old one.


The Nursery
The nursery is coming along. We got the crib and changing table put together. They look great. I am so thankful to have great friends who are letting us use them. Other than some spots from their little girl chewing on the crib, both are in great condition. A little paint and they will look like new. The crib even came with a mattress. The drapes (sheers) my mom bought look really cute on the window. I bought some crystal flowers to hang with them so that when the sunlight comes in the flowers will sparkle.
There is also another addition (pink of course) to the nursery now. My friend Tricia and I went to the Just Between Friends sale last week and I found a swing. It only cost $10. I was so excited. It is missing the toy bar, but that is fine with me. It is is great condition. It plays music and has six different speed settings. I also bought a crib sheet (well actually Tricia bought it for me along with a baby bath tub and formula storage containers). The sheet was brand new and only $4. I wanted to get it just to put on the mattress until we get the bedding set (plus it was really cute too).
Next week sometime, my mom is going to come over and help us stencil in the room. There will be butterflies, dragonflies, and flowers all over the walls. After the stenciling is done, we have to get some fabric to recover the glider we got, hang some decor on the walls, and put on the bedding set. Then the room will be ready for Kylie! I can't believe she will be here in less than 100 days! I will definitely have to get some pictures of the room when it is done and post them.
