Final Countdown

I've gained 4 more pounds... I guess "they" say a pound per week in the third trimester is normal. Overall, I am up 10 pounds... but I feel extra heavy. I had my gestation diabetes glucose screen today. All is normal. My glucose level (or whatever they measure) was only 110. So I am straight in that department. After today my appointments are every two weeks. Maybe I will perk up about the next appointment because I get another ultrasound at the radiologists office. :-)

I am getting lazier and lazier about my blog (notice all the pictures lately?).

Oh To Be Showered!

The infamous shower hat!

Paradise

Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas

It's official!

So today I got the biggest surprise of my life (well outside of finding out about the new bundle of joy). Jerry and I went to our new house thats being built. We went to go look around to see the progress that had been made. Things were looking good. We noticed that most of the plumbing had been completed and we even had all the bathtubs in the house installed. We walk all over the downstairs part of the house and decide to check to see what had been done upstairs.

Once we got upstairs, we walked thru the baby's room and into one of the guest rooms. While in there Jerry said casually... "Are you gonna marry me dear?" I didnt think too much about it because we had talked about it before and I knew that he was preparing to ask me. I just didnt know when. I said "Yes" and we kept it moving. We walked into the other guest room to check things out. And finally, we walked into 'his' rec room... We looked around and took pictures. We always do that so I didnt think too much about it. As I was about to walk back downstairs, Jerry came up behind me and put his arms around me and asked me right then and there if I would marry him. I said "Yes" immediately. He had the box in his hand and when he showed it to me I almost fainted. I opened the box and WOW - he did an excellent job.



I was slightly blinded for a moment but then I got my composure and he put the ring on my finger. It was perfect! Proposing at the site our our new home - our foundation in more ways that one... Next stop... Bahamas - our last trip before the baby comes...

14 and counting...

This is me at 6 months (26 weeks) and only 3 months left (14 weeks). At my doctors appointment yesterday, the nurse told me that I've only gained 6 pounds so far but I think that this last trimester is gonna get me. I'd better watch out. Everything else was normal... blood pressure, fundal height - all that good stuff. At my next appointment I will have the glucose screen which tests for gestational diabetes and then after that I go for an appointment every two weeks. Yaaaaaaaaaay. Counting down... AND I get another ultrasound. Cant wait for that!
