Broke the Streak!

Well Monday came and went and I was NOT in the hospital!  Boo-ya!!

Thank you all soooo much for all of your kind words, prayers, and support.  I received emails, texts, IMs, cards, etc.  I thought people stopped reading my blog, but apparently not, and thus,  I will keep updating you on my progress since that's the best way to reach the most people in our lives.

I am feeling about one million times better.  My doctor decided to treat it as a muscular issue, and that seems to have made a world of difference.  Amazing what the right prescription can do!  Now I am off meds completely, and hope to stay that way.

Last week, I failed my initial glucose test and had to do the tedious three hour test.  It's really a test in boredom if anything.  I was overjoyed to find out I passed the 2nd test, so no gestational diabetes for me.  I'll be honest, when I failed the first, I was definitely down in the dumps.  I seriously cannot catch a break this pregnancy.

Funny story:  A friend of mine told me on Sunday that my pregnancy was birth control for her.  My response:  "ME TOO!"

Let's just hope it's smooth sailing for the next 11 weeks!

Baby bear's room is slowly coming together, but we're making a conscious effort to buy items that can be used later in life, such as a dresser vs changing table, a crib that converts to a full size bed, a grown-up bookcase, etc.  Even the decor will last well into adolescent years.  We find we'd rather invest now than buy multiples as the years go by.  Pictures to come shortly!
