My appointment went well today. My blood pressure was good, and I measured on time. I also had a bunch of blood drawn. Fingers crossed for good results!
Also, I told my doctor I wanted to deliver at my original hospital choice. She said that was fine. That makes me really happy, because I was worried she was going to push the other hospital again. The other hospital would take forever to get back to me about anything (I'm talking 1-2 weeks). This really bothered me. Add that to the fact they sent me a form letter with 3-4 grammatical errors in 4 sentences, and it seemed like they really didn't give a crap. I've also heard such good things about my original hospital.
I also scheduled my "for fun" ultrasound for May 2nd. We're so excited!
Finally, I am officially on the every other week appointment schedule! That makes my due date seem much closer. :) This both excites and scares me, because it seems there's a lot to do around here.

Wow, it's been a month since my last entry...
I am 28 weeks 4 days pregnant now. I can't believe I'm in my third trimester!
Since the hospital tours, my doctor has been trying to convince me to use the other hospital. However, I have strong reservations about that hospital, so I am going to talk to her at my appointment tomorrow.
Last week, we purchased a diaper bag. My husband picked it out. He was so excited about it. In the store, he started showing me all the features and telling me why we HAD to have it. I've never seen someone so excited over a diaper bag. It made me smile.
Also, tomorrow is my 1 hour glucose test! I hope I pass. :) I'm a little nervous about how the stuff they're going to make me drink will taste, but even more nervous about failing. Tomorrow, we're also going to schedule our 3d/4d ultrasound. We're very excited about seeing our little one again.
Finally, I found a newborn photographer! She also gave us a decent price on maternity pictures, so we're going to do that. We didn't think we were going to do maternity photos, but now we're so excited for our session.

Toured the hospitals this week!
Ray and I went on hospital tours this week. We've been struggling to pick between the two hospitals near us. I had heard good things about both of them, but didn't want to make the "wrong" choice.
As it turned out, we got a much better vibe at the second hospital than the first, so we're going with that one. When we walked out of the second hospital, we were in complete agreement. We even signed up for classes tonight! They are not for a couple months, but still, it's pretty exciting. :) Hopefully, we'll get some good information at those.
I'm glad to finally have that choice out of the way.

And the nursery is painted!
Ever since we moved into our house, I have hated the color on the walls of the small bedroom near the master bedroom. It was the color of mint ice cream. Just a little too bright, if you ask me.
However, I have never really had a reason to paint it. However, it will now be little Leah's room! We painted it a beautiful yellow/tan color. By we, of course, I mean my husband. I love the results!

Furniture came in!
Our combo unit and crib came in on Friday. Our neighbor helped us take them home since they wouldn't fit in our car. His 3 year old daughter and 12 year old son rode in our car, since he had to put the seats down. His daughter was not fond of this arrangement. I never knew a child could scream so loudly.
Anyway, the combo unit and crib look gorgeous, and we can't wait to put them in the nursery! First, we're going to repaint the room. We purchased a gallon of paint from Lowe's this weekend and are really excited to put it on our wall. Ray will probably do that sometime this week, since he is on Spring Break.
We've purchased a couple of outfits for Leah. I just can't resist buying her cute girly things. She is going to be so spoiled.

My First Post
This is my new blog to write about our baby girl, Leah Brooke, due July 6th. As we prepare for her, I wanted to have a place to write about her.
On Monday, we saw our sweet baby by u/s for the first time since 8w6d. Obviously, there was a big difference. Our baby now looked like a baby! She measured on track and everything looked great! Also, this was the appointment where we found out she was a girl.
Since then, we've gone a little purchase crazy. We have ordered her crib and changing table/dresser. Also, we have purchased a few girly outfits for her. We are so excited to meet her in July!
