I had my OB appointment today. I had my Beta Strep test. He said if it comes back positive that just means I'll have to take antibiotics when I'm in labor. They did the test earlier in my pregnancy and it was negative, but they like to check again as you get closer to delivery.
It was kinda funny today because when the nurse brought me into the room, she gave me a sheet and told me to get undressed from the waist down. Well, the sheet they give you is only big enough to lay on your lap, you can't really wrap it around your body. So as I was sitting on the table waiting for my OB to come in, I kept pulling my shirt down in back and thinking "oh no he's going to see my butt crack when he walks in..." And then I realized, dude, he's about to get up close and personal with my hoo-ha, and I'm worried about a little butt crack showing? Pretty funny the things we worry about.
I go back in 10 days for my next appointment, and then it will be every week after that. We're entering the home stretch!

Nursery!
We're all moved in to the rental house! It was much easier than I thought it would be and we love our new temporary home.
Roxy's nursery has been finished for about a week and I finally got around to taking some pictures today.
Enjoy!
I have an OB appointmet tomorrow so I'll update again after my appointment.

Keep Doing What You're Doing......
Nothing really new to report. I failed my original Glucose Tolerance test and they sent me to the hospital to take the 3 hour test. I had read that a lot of women fail the one hour test and then go on to pass the 3 hour, so I wasn't that worried.
The drink for the 3 hour test was actually much better than the 1 hour test, so I was happy about that. The only pain in the butt was that I spent four hours at the hospital and had my blood drawn numerous times. It really was pretty painless though, and the OB said I passed the test with flying colors and my levels were no where near having Gestational Diabetes. Yay!
I had another OB appointment on Monday and it was more of the same. The OB said he'll continue to see me every two weeks until I have a month left, and then he'll start seeing me every week. I go back in 2 weeks and they'll do my Beta Strep test at that appointment. The OB said this continues to be a super easy pregnancy and to keep doing what I'm doing. I feel really lucky that this pregnancy has gone so smoothly. I still feel great and I'm moving around with ease. I sleep straight through the night and my hormones are completely normal. I'm a happy pregnant girl! :) If it wasn't for this beach ball in front of me, I wouldn't even know that I'm pregnant. She really does look like a beach ball at this point too. Totally round and located smack dab in the middle. I hope she doesn't drop until the very last moment because I kind of like how she looks right now.
This Saturday we'll be moving into our rental house so that the builders can start the renovation on our house! Which means this Saturday evening I'll be starting on the nursery. So excited! I'll be sure to post pics when it's all finished.
