Week 28

I've made it to the 3rd trimester - yay!  Looking back at my earliest posts, remembering how nervous I was about whether this baby would make it what with the super low progesterone levels and all the bleeding, I am so happy to be at this point now!  I had my doctor apt. on Friday last week and luckily, all of my blood work was normal, so no gestational diabetes and NO anemia.  I also made an appointment today for a 3D ultrasound next week :)  We weren't going to pay the extra for it, but Sean has really wanted to try to get one done, so we're going to use a little of our Christmas money for it.  I just hope we can get a clear picture of her face that day so we don't end up paying for nothing!  I've already talked to her about cooperating on that day and to show us her cute little face :) 

I added a bunch more to our Babies R Us registry this weekend, and made some changes as well.  We ordered the vinyl wall clings for her bedroom and I just wasn't digging the lavender colors they had available and I kept thinking about how I wanted  her room to be pink.  So I took the lavender bedding off the registry (even though it was really cute!) and opted for a pink bed skirt, sheets, and a breathable bumper for now.  I figure we wouldn't even use a comforter anyway, so what's the point in ordering a full bed set?  The wall clings should be here sometime over break, so Sean and I can attempt to hang them.  I sure hope they aren't too difficult to put up!  I also hope that the colors we ordered look nice on the walls since it's always hard to tell exactly what colors will turn out looking like when you order on the Internet.

I am soooo looking forward to Christmas break now!  I hope to get the closet in the baby's room more cleaned out and ready to go, the wall clings up, and some other random cleaning done around the house.  I'm also looking forward to the annual cookie baking extravaganza with my sister!  I was telling the baby all about baking cookies and how next year, she will be able to put some frosting on a cookie too!  Hey, she will be 9 months old at that point, so I can give her a little frosting to smear on a cookie so she can participate :) 

Well, I will try to get some updated belly pictures posted this week and then next week, hopefully a good 3D ultrasound picture!  Hope for some good pictures for us!
