Glucose Test

So today I went for my Glucose testing. I guess it is to make sure I don't have diabetes. They also took more blood and did another HIV test and Hepititas test...still trying to figure out how I would have gotten HIV on a couch! So, I was told that the juice they make you drink is gross for the test, however, I thought it tasted good. In fact, I liked it so much, that I had to go to McDonalds afterwards to get an Orange HI-C. That is exactly what it tasted like. I am pretty sure I do not have diabetes, however, with me you never know. I feel so blessed to have made it this far...28 weeks tomorrow! I continue to pray everyday that Bradyn continues to grow and is healthy. 9 weeks until I am full term...if he were to come 9 weeks from today, that would be August 28, and that is my mom's birthday....which would be awesome. I am thinking sometime between September 2 and September 4. I dont know why, but that is what I feel. My brothers birthday is September 2, and although he teases about not wanting the baby born that day ( he is the youngest, so maybe he is being truthful....we wouldnt want to ruin his big day!!!!) I think he actually would feel special sharing our miracle's big day!

My mom and I are talking about a baby shower. All of my family and Bobs lives up in Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota...basically the whole midwest...so, I cant travel there, and I doubt any of them will want to come down here, and then some of them turn around and come back down after Brady is born, so I dont know what to do. I was thinking of just waiting and having it afterwards, so then they can see Brady, but then there are things we need, that you usually get at a baby shower, so I dont know what to do. I just want the stroller so I can play with it now...ha ha!!! When I was a little girl, I had a real baby stroller for my dolls. I thought I was sooo cool...ha ha...I think my mom had to take my dolls and hide them from me so i wouldnt play with them anymore!!!

We are heading to Bone Fish Willys tonight for dinner. Bob loves that place and so we are meeting my parents there. We were suppose to go there for Bobs birthday, but I was on a couch at that time.

Praying for 12 weeks of a healthy pregnancy!!!

just wanted to let you know that I had my shower for Noah after I had him cause I had the same problem being far away. In my case I had all immediate family that bought the BIG things and so they just ordered them at my local Babies R Us and I picked them up. Then got all the fun stuff after he was here. So you can find a way!! :-)
