Swollen feet, lots of water and rest oh my!

Hello everyone!

I am now in my 2nd week of my 7th month and the feet are swollen! My toes look like sausages! I had a dr. appt on March 18th and I am happy to say I passed the Glucose test with flying colors I do not have diabetes! Thank goodness bc I did not want to drink that nasty stuff again!! His heart rate was at 155 which is good and he is right where he needs to be as far as weight. I had to ask my dr how much have I gained and she said 17 lbs it is all baby! She stated that I was doing good as far as my weight goes and continue with the walking... We also discussed pediatricians and registering at the hospital which was done yesterday! I also needed to schedule the 4d sonogram which I am still waiting to hear back from the office.

My next appt is April 2nd day after Mark's promotional exam for work. Trust me when I say I will be soooo happy when that exam is here and the studying will stop! He has been studying so hard and I am very proud of him. I hope he does well and passes and promotes depending on how everything turns out.

The nursery got painted (thank you mom, ma, pa and Rachel!) during Spring Break and the furniture arrived so we are right on time with everything! My boss has us given lots of boys clothes and they are sooo cute! I will have to post pics of the nursery once it is set up.

From Wednesday 3/18 to Sunday 3/22 my parents and I made a road trip to Branson, Missouri and then to Fairfield Bay, Arkansas. We had such a blast just hanging out and being a family. Mark was at home working exchange of time and studying.... I loved being able to drink coffee in the mornings with my daddy again it was great! Thank you momma and daddy for a great trip! Next time we go highway!

That is all I know for right now! I hope everyone had a great spring break or at least enjoying the weather!

Glucose test not the greatest!

Well folks I had the glucose tolerance test on last Friday...

Words cannot even describe the juice.. I can't even look at fruit punch ever again without thinking how nasty it was.... My lovely husband thought it would be funny when I got home and had gotten sick at work to offer me fruit punch...

Well today I should know the results I am hoping that the results come back negative and that I don't have to go back and do it again..

Spring break is next week and I am very excited! The university will be closed the entire week!! I will be heading out of town with my parents going to Branson, Missouri and to Arkansas! I have not been on vacation with them in a long time... I am sure it will be an adventure and it always is bc dad and I find something to give mom a hard time about!

My last 4 week appt is the 18th and we will be doing the every 2 week and then every 1 week! I have 91 more days to go!!

Well hope everyone has a great week!
