Pregnancy Update!

I'm now in my 3rd trimester, about 29 weeks along. For the most part, I'm doing great. I had my glucose test and had to take the 3 hour glucose test because my original test came back a little high. Just got a call today letting me know that I don't have gestational diabetes. That is a relief. I didn't want to go through that. I have mild swelling, especially in the evenings. I'm seeing more swelling now the weather is starting to warm up. So far, nothing like I had with Ethan, crossing my fingers...

We are trying to get ourselves prepared here at the house for the new addition. We cleaned out the spare/junk room (we still have the closet to clear out, but we'll do that when we get out shed) and Scott spent a night painting the room. Scott seems to think it looks like an Easter Egg. We have lavendar on the bottom 3rd and a white with a tint of green on the top 2/3rds. Scott still needs to put in a chair rail and then I will probably do a border or stencil some yellow flowers on the wall. It is a work in progress and I'll post some pics when the job is complete.

As for a name, can't say we have on yet. We (I mean me) are torn between Olivia Joy or Emma Joy. Scott thinks she'll be called Olive Oil if we call her Olivia and if we call her Emma we have another kid with an E name and that wasn't our intention. I just can't decide.

I'm hoping to hang in there until I reach 39 weeks, that is when my dr. can induce me. I hope it works out because I don't want Scott to be out of town for the delivery.

So besides the aches, pains, tiredness, and getting big... I can't complain.
