Brrr...

Had our appointment with Dr. P on Wednesday. Went pretty well-except I was poked quite a bit at this appointment. I had to drink the nasty sugar juice for my glucose/diabetes test. They also were going to check my thyroid due to the heart problems I was having a few weeks ago. Then when I was done with that I was informed that I had to get a flu shot. Not fun-this all was occurring in my left arm. My husband-God love him-does NOT do well with needles-so I was there to fend for myself during the blood taking and the flu shot. They think we should know how the tests went sometime today. They will only call if something is wrong with them-so I'm hoping I won't hear from them.

Dr. P measured Grayson and said that I was right on for 25/26 weeks. I asked her about my due date-she said that she likes to go with the first sonogram to be more accurate about when the baby will come-and that one said Feb. 14. She said the 2nd sonogram sometimes is off by a few weeks. But in my mind I'm still thinking Grayson will be here Feb. 7 or a little earlier. I also asked about my nice cankle that I get on my left foot after a day of work-she said there isn't anything that I can do about it-same with my hands going numb. Her response was, "I hate to tell you Leah-but this is all going to get worse before it gets better". So the only saving grace from the appointment was that we were able to hear the little guy's heartbeat-it was a strong 160.

And from the title of the post you can see that it's starting to get cold here. Gary (the best weather man around) is saying that we have the possibility of snow and sleet on Monday! Let the winter storms begin! And on a better note-went and got gas in the Blazer today-only cost me $35 to fill up! Yahoo!! AND this time next week Aunt Sara will be home!

Rob is going to really try and have the nursery completed this weekend-so stay tuned and look for some pictures....
