So, a few weeks ago I had to take the routine Glucose Screening test that you have to do when you're pregnant. I HATE this test. You have to drink this nasty, super sweet orange liquid stuff within 5 minutes, then they draw your blood. People will tell you, "Oh it tastes like Gatorade. It's not so bad." NO - IT IS HORRIBLE. This is to check if you have gestational diabetes. Well, I failed the first test. I was so frustrated and depressed about this, because I also failed it when I was pregnant with Graham. Since I failed it, I had to go back for the THREE HOUR test. This test I HATE even MORE than the first! I had to drink more of the nasty orange junk, only TWICE as strong as the first time; then they had to draw my blood FOUR different times over the span of 3 hours. BLAH. And I had to just sit there. and wait. and wait. and wait. So, I had a lot of worry and anxiety going on in my mind there for a little while. But good news! I found out yesterday that the test came back totally normal! Praise the Lord. One less thing I have to think about. I'm feeling great in this pregnancy. I am slightly anemic, which makes me a little tired right about now. But I'm taking Iron pills to help fight that. So overall, this has been a great pregnancy. And I can't believe I only have two more months of it. Yippee!!
It's time to get my daughter's nursery ready for her arrival. The kind UPS man delivered her bedding today!!! It's so soft and girly - I love it. Birds and trees. That's the theme I'm going with. Here's a picture of the bedding, but of course, it will look different in our house... (and hopefully even better!)
Isn't that the cutest baby mobile you've ever seen?! I think our little girl will love it. By the way, we're still praying about her name. The middle name is set, but we still have about 4 or 5 first names that we keep going back to. There's one name we came up with when I was pregnant with Graham, but I just don't know if it's the one or not! It's SO difficult to name a child. But I believe the Lord will show us what her name is...and it will be just perfect for her. But you'll have to wait until she is born to hear the verdict!

So glad to read your pregnancy is going fine. These last few months are so full of wonder and waiting.
We,too, have gone with a bird theme only in blues and browns for our son. Kevin is an amateur bird watcher so we thought it would be fitting.
