All is going great. Today marks 2 months exactly until my due date. I cannot believe the time is flying by so fast. I am feeling great and don't feel so huge (yet). People at work are definitely starting at my belly and constantly asking me about it though so it kind of makes it all more real. Just this week I started getting achey hips and legs.
The baby has been kicking alot but nothing that is really keeping me awake at night (well, besides getting up at least once or twice to go to the bathroom and change which side I'm laying on every few hours).
Marty has done a great job with the nursery. It's all painted (green) and looking great. I love the green color and at first I was worried it would be too light or too bright, but I'm loving it. We ordered a crib, dresser and changer from the Land of Nod (Crate and Barrel for babies, my new favorite catalog since they don't have a store in our area) and on Sunday we (correction: mostly Marty) assembled the furniture. It's all coming together slowly but surely.
I've been trying to exercise as much as I can which is basically just walking Rosie for about 40 minutes every morning before work. I have seen the inside of the gym about 10 times this whole pregnancy which I'm ashamed of, but that's ok. At this point I feel like all I can really do there is the bike, elliptical and stretching.
My doctor says everything is looking great and I am a model patient. Over the past few weeks I had to do the one hour glucose screening and failed it so I had to do the three hour screening which was painful. You have to fast (something I am terrible at anyways) then guzzle a super super sweet hawaiian punch type drink in 5 minutes and then sit at LabCorp for three hours and give blood every hour. Plus LabCorp on a Friday morning gets its fair share of crazy people so that was an adventure. But luckily I passed the three hour and so I don't have to worry about gestational diabetes (whew!)
Only two months to go! I have my doctor's appointments lined up until New Year's eve (literally, I have an appointment on the morning of New Year's eve, but that really doesn't matter because at 39 weeks pregnant I can forsee myself falling asleep at 8pm that night...:)
Here are some pics of my ever growing belly (not sure why we didn't take a 30 week pic, oh well):
