So we have made it to 29 weeks! Only 48 days till 36 weeks when the Cerclage comes out! I have been doing good with the Gestational Diabetes. Its hard tho! I meet with the nutritionist on Friday and hopefully she can give me some meal ideas. Also on Friday I see Dr. Billharz for a routine checkup. I have noticed the last couple days my whole belly moving when Karli moves, it must be those long legs she gets from her daddy!
I am trying to still figure this blog thing out so I may be changing some things!

Nursery and an update!
I made it to 27 weeks! I had my Glucose test last Friday and unfortunately I failed it...so I am going for the dreaded 3 hr test tomorrow..yuck! The good thing is that last week my belly was measuring 2 weeks ahead so they are going to do an Ultrasound tomorrow to check Karli's growth, so hopefully I will gain 2 weeks! We will see!
Greg, Mom and Dave were a huge help last weekend, along with Liv and Joe. The Nursery is pretty much done! I just love it, somedays I just want to go sit in there and fold her little baby clothes or something! Mom painted the flower mural on the wall, it looks so awesome! She did such a great job!
Dad and Ash are on their way to KC tomorrow for the weekend. I am excited to see them, I haven't since Christmas. Tomorrow is also Greg's 27th bday, he is excited about having an Ultrasound in his birthday and he will get to be there! He has been such a huge help around the house and getting me things. He has become a nice maid to me. Altho I can't stand it when people do stuff for me, I feel so helpless. But I know when this little one is here all of this bedrest will be worth it!
Here is some info about the 27th week:
You're now 27 weeks pregnant -- this marks the beginning of your third trimester! Congratulations, you are two-thirds of the way there!
This period of pregnancy from 27 weeks onward is known as within the period of fetal viability.
When you are 27 weeks pregnant, your baby's brain embarks on a period of rapid growth. The forebrain grows to cover the rest of the brain, resulting in some important brain development.
During week 27 of pregnancy, your baby's muscle coordination will allow him or her to start thumb sucking. This activity calms the baby and strengthens cheek and jaw muscles for nursing.
Other fetal development that is occurring when you are 27 weeks pregnant includes the following:
The network of nerves to the ear is completed
The baby takes some breaths, and although breathing in water, not air, it is good practice for the lungs
Eyelids begin to open, and the retinas begin to form
Your baby may be able to recognize your voice and your partner's voice.

26 Weeks and 1 Day!
Well we made it another week! I have a feeling once I get to 30 weeks it will fly by hopefully! Tomorrow I go for my weekly Dr. visit and I also have my Glucose test which I am kinda nervous about but hopefully I will pass!
Mom and Dave are on their way from CO. They are bringing the crib, stroller set and lots of other things. I am excited to get the nursery all set up! We are suppose to have really nice weather so hopefully I can go sit outside and soak up some sun! This bedrest has had its ups and downs..the main thing bothering lately is having to wear these stupid Ted Hose Stockings to prevent blood clots. They are just annoying, expecially when wearing shorts!
How far along? I am 26 weeks and 1 day!
Total weight gain/loss: 12lbs total, I get weighed tomorrow so we will see if thats changed
Maternity clothes? Yes & I am needing to buy some more capris and shorts for summer, altho being on bedrest its not like I get dressed up everyday! But I will have to do some online shopping and see what I can find!
Stretch marks? a few here and there...not cool
Sleep: What is this sleep thing? I have been tossing and turning alot, getting up a couple times a night to pee. It hasn't been that bad, but I have a feeling it will get worse, exp when baby is here!
Best moment this week: Being able to sit outside and soak up the sun!
Movement: She has been moving around so much more lately! I think I felt her roll over last night, that was crazy! I have also seen my belly move a couple times!
Food cravings: Strawberries....milk...chocolate chip cookies
Gender: Girl :)
Labor Signs: none and I hope it stays that way for atleast 10 more weeks!
Belly Button in or out? still in, I don't think its coming out!
What I miss: Beer, Margaritas, Wine, being able to go shopping, Walking, anything a normal person does besides lay here!!
What I am looking forward to: Holding my baby, getting back to a normal routine of walking, exercising, shopping. Also looking forward to getting the nursery put together this weekend!
Weekly Wisdom: cherish every moment of everyday....life is short & precious
Milestones: I have made it to 26, hopefully I can make it atleast 10 more weeks, thats when my stitch comes out anyways!
I will try and get some pics this weekend and hopefully one of me and my pregnant belly!
