27 week visit

Well today was a bust. We went to do the glucose test- I was pretty nervous about it. Last month when we went to schedule it, I wanted to go next week because I didn't like the doctor who was there this week. They said I had to do it this week, so I made Jonathan go with me :) We get to the office today and when they were doing my vitals they were questioning why I was there at 27 weeks (typically the glucose test happens between 28-32 weeks). Long story short, I didn't do the glucose test. The doctor gave me an option of either doing it today or I could take it in two weeks. Now I have to start going every two weeks since I'll be in my 3rd trimester. So that's why I just decided to do it then, since I already have to go back. My vitals were good. I'm still under 20lbs for my pregnancy so I'm feeling pretty good. We're really tired to exercise and eat healthy.

You can expect a lot of posts in the new few weeks. Mom and Dad are coming down at the end of February to help us get some things really in the nursery! The following weekend, Ali, Mark and Lindsey are coming for our work shower! I'm so happy for all of our company- haven't seen Linds since May! The next weekend we'll be in Richmond for my cousin's shower, then next weekend I have a seminar to go to and then finally we will be back in Richmond for our shower at our old church, Goodwill. Lots of things happening and we're trying to rest when we can. Pray for our health- lots of coworkers have gotten the flu and a bad cold and so far we've avoided it. Can't wait for our company and trips, although it's going to take a lot out of us.

Maybe we'll be seeing you soon!!!! :)

Belly Shots

Several of you have been asking for an update in between the doctors visits so here you go!!! We are all doing well! Thankfully we have not gotten sick except for a slight stuffy nose. Little man is moving ALL over the place. Last weekend, Jonathan was able to feel him so much. He was excited, since all the other times he'd tried to feel him the baby practically ignored him. I know it made him feel much more connected to the baby. According to the internet, the baby is approximately 9 inches, and weighs about 2 lbs. It's scary to think of how much he's grown in 6 1/2 months, and how much he will explode in size in the last few weeks. This Wednesday, I will start my 27th week. Thursday afternoon I go for the glucose test...very much looking forward to that. We are trying to lay low and not travel too much because I'm starting to get ancy in the car if I sit too long. We've been dealing with considerable stress at work which has been hard on my body and I haven't been sleeping too well. Thankfully last night I slept for a full 8 hours. Jonathan has been given the opportunity to interview with Audi in a few weeks. He had to take an inital test yesterday, goes back in 2 weeks to take another, and then a week after that he has an official interview. We are excited about the prospect for him. The only bummer about the school is that it is in 2 locations: Pheonix or Exton, PA. Pray for us as we wait to hear about the interview and then make a decision after that.

Well I'm going to include 2 belly shots for you. They were taken at work. I look very tired in them, so I apologize! Hope you all are doing well and hope to hear from you soon!!!!
