Would you like some sugar with your baby?

Passed the 1 hour glucose test! Thank Jesus! No gestational diabetes for me! Woot! The experience itself was not too terrible - the drink tastes like flat orange Fanta and the worst side effect was trying to keep my eyes open!

The only thing that came back off was that I showed slight anemia, but that is nothing some iron supplements can't handle! Going to pick those up after work!

Thanks for being nice to your mom, baby. :)

Time keeps on passing me by...

Where is the time going? Bruce and I sat on the couch last night staring at our calendars and wondering where all of our time is going. Got got home from Michigan this past Sunday (more on that trip in a minute) and we are home this weekend, but the next we fly to Ohio and then the following week we were taking off to have some "us" time. Ha! Not so much! The whole week is now filled with doctor's appointments, hospital tour and a visit from life insurance exam people. So, much for relaxing and enjoying each other's company. Ugh.

The best part of all of our time going bye-bye is all the fun showers that are being thrown in Baby C's honor! We had our first in Michigan last weekend and it was A LOT of fun! It was a very laid back cookout hosted at Mom and Dad Calkins and almost all of the Aunts, Uncles and cousins were there! It was so great seeing everyone and catching up! We got lots of great things and we cannot wait to put them to good use come October! Here are some pictures from the festivities!

How cute is this cake made by Bruce's cousin, Holly?

Us with Holly and the precious cake!

Us with Aunt Rhoda and the adorable handmade blankets they gave us!

Us with Grandpa Calkins the next day!

I wish we had taken more pictures, but that is what I get for putting Bruce in charge! ;) It really was a wonderful time and so nice to have all of the Calkins together in one place.

So, we had to Ohio the weekend after this and visit with all the Conways, Mehoks, Tavoliers, etc from my side of the family! We cannot wait to see everyone.

I have less than 12 weeks and 2 days left, if baby decides to make an appearance on his/her due date! Craziness! Still feel great and cannot complain one bit about any of it. We are both very lucky and blessed.

Double Digits?!?!

Yup, we are in double digits. 96 days until our baby is finally in our arms. We couldn't be more excited if we tried!

Here is a picture of me last week - 25 weeks, 5 days pregnant.

Also, here are some pictures of the nursery so far. The glider/rocker came in over the weekend! It is so comfortable and I am very happy with the way it turned out!

Aside from getting ready for our trip to Michigan this week, we are finalizing daycare, pediatricians and child birth classes this week! Exciting and scary shit, I tell ya! ;) ;)
