25 week update!

Well, actually it is almost 26 weeks! I cannot believe how time is flying and how much we still have to do :) I had a doctor's appointment this past week and it was the one where you have to drink the sugar drink before you go in so they can test you for gestational diabetes. Fortunately, everything came back great and baby is healthy and I am healthy! We went furniture shopping this weekend and got a dresser/changing table combo for the nursery (and it was on sale!). We also found a very comfortable rocker/recliner that we will put in the nursery, but Jon has claimed for his "dad" chair once we no longer need it for baby. Jon also found his favorite baby item so far- a Metallica lullaby album. I did not know this existed and we have yet to listen to it, so I have no album review. The guy checking us out at Barnes and Noble said he owned it (for himself) and really liked it. Apparently, AC/DC and Radiohead and many other hard-rock bands have albums of this sort for those who may be interested. In other news, I am doing my final rotation for nursing at the hospital where I will be delivering and on my first day there, I was fortunate enough to see my doctor do a delivery! I feel very lucky that I get to experience the hospital from the nursing side before I become a patient. Hopefully this will help me feel more relaxed when I am the patient, but I guess it could go the other way... Although, after watching my doctor in the delivery room, I like her even more and feel even more confident in my choice of OB/Gyn. That is all the news we have for now! We will post another belly pic soon, since I feel like I am growing by the second and look different than the picture from last week...
