We had our monthly check up this week. The baby's heartbeat was really fast - 160bpm! The doctor said that was normal since she was moving around a lot while we were listening. She moves around almost all the time now. It seems she is up almost all night. That makes sleeping interesting. The doctor said my glucose test went well and all my blood levels were great. That was good news. She also gave us reality check when she told us we should be "baby ready" by 36 weeks. We have sooo much to do before then and it is only 7 weeks away. We also started our childbirth classes tonight. We'll continue those for the next 3 weeks. Now we need to get busy setting up the nursery and getting some more necessary items.
My friend, Veronica, is planning my shower for February 13th. I'm getting pretty excited about that. It will be lots of fun. We are inviting the guys and having some fun with with it. Vero is the best for doing it for me! She found the cutest Queen of the Jungle theme (http://www.partypail.com/queen-of-the-jungle-baby-shower.html) to follow, which matches the nursery we have planned perfectly and she didn't even know it!
I'm getting HUGE! I say I'm as big as a house, but my wonderful sis-in-law says I'm just a small condo and that I still have room to grow into the house. It's good to have a seasoned pro around to keep it in perspective :) Here is a picture of the small condo this week.
