Good News

I called the doctor yesterday to find out the results of my 3 hour gestational diabetes test and they came back normal. She gave me the numbers and what normal range is, and I am not even borderline!! Yay!! I am soo excited!! Since I have been doing well with the suggested prenatal diet that the hospital recommended, I am going to try to stick with that. But, at least I can have a few goodies here and there and not feel guilty about it at all.

Tomorrow is my second "big" ultrasound. I will find out how big this babe really is. I am really hoping she is not extremely big. I thought Alyssa was big enough at 8 pounds 2 ounces!!

My stepmom said that her and my dad will buy us something big for the new baby, so I told her that there is a double stroller that I was going to order online when we got some extra cash. She said to not worry about it and she will write us a check for it when we see her next week. I am really excited that she offered to buy that. I hope she follows through. I know that she has told my step-brother and his fiance that she would get them a few things and has fallen through on what she says. I guess we will see after I see her this week.

We decided to not move Alyssa. We swapped furniture (well, except for the cribs, because we have to take them apart and re-assemble them) and left Alyssa in her old room. She still seemed a little nervous about having the other furniture in there, but it was NOTHING like how she reacted to being in a different room. She is now adjusted to the new furniture and we have actually adjusted to getting her changed on the floor (which she thinks is a fun game). Gary wants to look for another border and theme for Alyssa's room and make it more into a girly room, but I am not in a rush. Pooh is still cute and she has a lot of pooh stuff in there. If I find something that really sticks out at me, we will get it, but for now, we will just leave it Pooh.
