I had another doctors appointment today and it really helped make things feel closer. I now get to see the doctor every two weeks instead of 4. Amazing that one would enjoy seeing the doctor, especially often; but it's much different when you get to go because you're having a baby soon.
My doctor started talking to me about birthing classes and recommended pediatricians. I took some kind of glucose test as well, which is when they make you drink an orange beverage that tastes like a less carbonated version of orange soda. I don't mind orange soda either, so it wasn't too bad. I expected it to be nasty from what I had heard before. They had to take my blood an hour later, and sadly, I had to be poked twice. But AMAZINGLY, I hardly felt anything the second time they poked me. I also got a flu shot while at the doctors today. I was a tad hesitant to at first, mostly because shots are something I tend to like to put off. But I think it hurt less than when they take my blood and it was very quick. So I'm glad I did it. It will especially be good for baby and me too.
The doctor said that my belly was measuring perfectly. Baby Williams still seems to be moving like crazy, or at least it was while she was looking for the heart beat. I'm still doing well weight wise she says too.
Jon and I have only looked around at cribs and strollers so far. It's different shopping for products that we really don't know what to look for as far as what's good and what's not. I'm sure all of you parents know what I mean. But everyone's advice had definitely been helpful and I always appreciate it. We may go out again this weekend and see what we can find. I am excited to get baby stuff because it means that the baby is actually almost here! Sometimes I feel like time drags on too long when I'm thinking about the baby arriving. Although it doesn't seem to slow down enough for me to finish certain things either. That's life though isn't it?
Well, that's that for baby stuff. I have another ultra sound in a couple of weeks. That'll be a lot of fun too. I'll keep you all updated with any new news that may come our way.

Happy to hear that all is still going well. I too didn't think the orange drink was horrible like everyone made it out to be. I didn't think it was delicious but that's because it was wicked sweet; too sweet for me. But the way people talked about it I expected to gag.
Good luck finding a crib and stroller! When do you get another ultrasound?
Thanks for the update. It's good to hear everything is going well.
Glad things are going well! I'm still going every 5 weeks! Which is fine with me, I dread going to the doctor, especially now with my babysitter (Ryan) in school! Dr. Lynn hasn't made me do the orange drink for my last 3 pregnancies - yeah! Just glad to save the $ on the tests if nothing else!
Just enjoy sleeping when you want for now, that sweet little bundle will be here before you know it!
who are we kidding!! you wont sleep, not because Jonstin wont let you, because YOU wont let you. You'll be up just looking in their bed doing nothing but staring, making sure Jonstin is still breathing and amazed at how crazy beatuiful they are. Sleep...overrated

So what I heard is if you fail the first sugar test, then you have to drink something pretty gross. I just had the normal orange stuff too.
Glad to hear you are on track. Don't worry too much about buying the exactly right thing, most likely whatever you chose will work just fine. :)
