Less than 60 days

We are down to the wire. Our birthing class is next week so thats something huge for us to look forward to. People at work are placing a pool on when I will be in labor. Some say I have 50 days left some say we won't see Riley till September.

On another note, Adam got me a prenatal massage today. It was for 30 mins and I was way relaxed. I enjoyed having all my tense sore muscles worked on. The massage was super relaxing. I even ended up falling asleep in it. Riley even enjoyed me being relaxed.

Until next time.

Final Glucose test

I was finally able to complete the glucose test. Took lots of patience and distraction from not only Adam but Nana as well. Riley will be here in 60 days. I can not wait. Adam and I both are so excited. Riley moves so much. You can look at my stomach and watch him move. The baby shower is coming up. I am now at the point that I get hot all the time. Sleep is becoming hard to catch a complete 8 hours straight. But I know it is all worth it. I can not wait to hold our son and look at the little life we created.

My favorite thing to do right now is to lay on the couch so Adam and I can bond with the baby. There are times that Riley wakes Adam up at night, he kicks hard. The baby room is set and ready to go. All I have to do is wash all the clothes, but I am trying really hard not to wash them till closer when he is here. I have a feeling if I wash them now I will be washing them again and again, wearing them out before Riley gets to wear them.

Glucose test

For the record, the glucose test is hard and nasty. I flunked the first one because I fasted when I wasn't supposed to. The second test was an automatic fail because 10 mins before the first drawl I ended up loosing the drink. I'm feeling like a failure. Everyone I know did this test just fine. I'll be calling the doctor tomorrow to see what the next step is.

On the bright side of things, today is fathers day. I'm getting ready to go get Riley's daddy his first fathers day gift. I'll post later what it is and if he liked it.

Beginning the third Trimester

Hello to the third trimester. The trimester brings to me anxiety, excitment, and of course fear. Its strange how 4 months ago I wouldn't have thought twice about whats to come in August. I was just excited. Now I am getting anxious just to see Riley and for Adam and I to have our baby in our arms. I'm excited to be a mom. I'm scared to death that I will fail, or of course be a big baby about the labor like you see in these Bringing home baby or Birthday shows on TV. I have some stress and I know that its kinda dumb to stress over everything and I still have plenty of time, but I feel like there are things that I should be doing that I'm not. We will be registering soon for birthclasses. We will be taking a one day class. We will be taking some new pictures of Rileys room and posting them soon. Hope everyone is still just as excited as we are.
