Following a Rainbow : Hello 3rd Trimester

Final stretch! Less than 11 weeks and we will be welcoming our baby girl! Seems like so far yet so VERY close. I had my 28 week appointment today. It was a loooong one! I got there at 7:30 and left around 10:15. We started with the ultrasound, which was a good way to start off the morning! Peanut looked good - I think we woke her up because her heart rate was 133, which is low for her, but once we started poking around, she was poking right back! She was spinning and pushing on the ultrasound probe! All looked good though - she is back to being head down. Wonder how many times that will change from now until D-Day!! She stuck her tongue out at us again...this has been a regular thing for her...wonder if she is going to be a little fireball!

After the ultrasound, I got my first blood draw and then drank the lovely glucose drink. Had to wait an hour and then got my blood drawn again and then waited another hour and got one final blood draw. Luckily, I brought my laptop and was able to catch up on some emails...and my phone kept me entertained as always. Praying the results are good and that I passed! While we were waiting in between the blood draws, I had my belly measured and it was measuring 29 weeks! So, in two weeks, it grew by 3 weeks! I knew she had a growth spurt! I also got my Rhogam shot. I have officially reached the week where I now am on the every two week schedule, which I pretty much have been since the beginning! I will have another ultrasound in two weeks and if Dr. S. is happy with everything he sees, I will probably have a break for 4 weeks and then will be on the weekly schedule with 2 non-stress tests and one ultrasound per week!! I know with Jameson, time flew once I got on that schedule, so I know it will go even faster this time around.

In other news, we got our nursery furniture! It was delivered to the UPS warehouse in Decatur, so Darin picked it up on Tuesday since he was in Decatur that day. It's currently housed in our garage, but I hope to get the room painted and furniture put together within the next month. I am anxious to get it all together so I can make/order the finishing touches as far as decor goes. One of the main focal points of the room is going to be her name above her crib...so if history repeats itself, we may not officially finish the room until AFTER she is born :). We have a short list of about 4 names, so fingers crossed we pick one soon. We asked Jameson what he thought we should name baby sister and his response was "slurrrrp" - he made a slurping noise with his mouth. He also offered Dora as a name. So, I think we will maybe pick one of the ones on our list instead! No Name Weber just doesn't have a very nice ring to it!!
