This is the last week...

This is the last week of my second trimester.  Can we say time has FLOWN by??? It does not feel like I have been pregnant for almost 7 months now.  Things lately have been going really good.  The only time I ever really feel nauseous is if I let myself get hungry (which I try my hardest to never do!) or hot.  I get hungry a lot more often now and even though the temps have been fairly low lately, I rarely ever get hot.  I think my body temp has risen at least 5 degrees ha.  I had my 26 week check up last week, everything went good expect for the fact I failed my 1st glucose test.  This is where they check you for gestational diabetes.  You drink a horrid sugary drink in 5 minutes, sit there for a hour then they draw your blood.  You blood sugar has to be 130 or below and mine was 133. Seriously! I failed by 3 points.  So two days later I went in for the next test.  This test involves an even more horrid sugary drink to be drank in 5 minutes, sit for an hour then have your blood drawn and check it, sit another hour...check...then another hour and check.  That totals up to be 3 hrs of sitting.  Did I mention you can't eat anything from midnight the night before?? I was starving and sick to say the least! Luckily I passed the 1st and 2nd hour screenings so I didn't have to sit for the third.  So all is well.  Now we are just counting down the days until little Miss makes her arrival.  I'm feeling pretty good these days and not too huge yet so I'm comfortable and not rushing this time away.  Once she is here...she is here and sleep is O-V, so I'm not rushing quite yet.  I am in the process of finishing her nursery, I am LOVING it so far.  All the bedding and everything has turned out perfect, exactly how I wanted it. As soon as I get a little more of it done I'll post some pics.
It is also the countdown for CHRISTMAS!! My favorite time of year.  I love giving gifts! The shopping part of it isn't my favorite, especially since I tire out so easily these days and my feet ache horribly.  Oh well! Lots of exciting things coming up in the next few months! Cant wait for all of it :)
