99 Days!

The clock is ticking on our due date. As of today we are 6 1/2 months pregnant with less then 100 days left. It's only 99 days away!


I knew the holidays would fly by and leave us with a huge list of things to do. Next week I need to take my glucose test and I'm kind of nervous about it. I found out that my Mom didn't pass hers with Brent (my older brother) and was on a restricted diet the rest of her pregnancy. I've never had to much of a sugar craving other then fruits but that has definitely changed with my crazy hormone cravings. I know it would be hard for me if my test shows I need to watch it. Also, on our list of to dos we need to sign up for our hospital tour as well as birthing classes. On top of that I would like to take a breastfeeding class and Matt is hoping to take a daddy class that our hospital offers. 


Next month I will have my baby showers and I can't be more excited! I have been feeling a little overwhelmed with how much we need and don't have but I can't buy things until I know what we will need after the showers. So right now we are just waiting, which is hard for me. In  addition, the end of February will bring my last scheduled day at the YMCA until I'm ready to go back to work. I can pick up hours in March and April if I would like, but they didn't want to put me on our new schedule since I might only be there for half of it. It is really starting to sink in more and more each day that life is changing. 


Squirt must have gone through another grow spirt since I'm now bumping into things. When I stand in the kitchen to prepare a meal I can't believe how many times I run into the counter. I swear it keeps inching closer to me. I also can't grasp how close things are when it comes to my hips, they have a couple bruises on them already and shaving has become a bit of a chore that I have told Matt that he will have to do it for me soon.... I don't think he likes that idea. Right now I can tell I'm starting to want to move into the nesting faze but I'm trying to avoid it and make lists of things I want to accomplish instead so I will have something to do with myself in a few months.

Squirts first time up the mountain.
1/2/2012 we went to Keystone on a beautiful bluebird day.
