30 Weeks and a Nursery Peek

30 weeks down, 9 more to go! 9 and not 10 because we're planning a scheduled c-section a week before Max's due date.  My doctor said that if I wanted to, I could try to do a VBAC, but to be honest, the c-section I had with Ly was not bad at all.  I held Lyla for hours right after they stitched me up, so I can't complain about that.  The pain was so-so, worst part was the first time I had to stand up, so I can't complain about that.  Basically, you kind of go with what you know.  Whatever happens, I just want him to be safe and sound.  That is all that matters to me.  The end result.  Baby Max in my arms.

Last week I took my first glucose test and failed.  Yikes.  Which meant, I had to take a second glucose test, either a 2-3 hour test.  Luckily, mine was 2 hours, which I did this past Monday.  They drew blood when I got there, I drank the nasty drink, waited an hour, got more blood drawn, waited another hour, and then had MORE blood drawn!  Getting blood drawn from the same arm twice (I switched arms once) in a short time period is painful yo!  My arms were bruised.  Oh yes, not to mention I was informed that I am also anemic.  I'm taking Iron supplements along with my regular prenatal vitamins now.  Anywho, I find out in a couple days if I passed or failed the second test.  I pray, I pray I passed!  

Otherwise, everything's going really well. We started Max's nursery and I love it so far!  Lyla "helped" paint her little brother's room. :-)

Here's a sneak peek of little Max's Western themed nursery.  I still want to get a cow print rug (oh yes), paint the blanket holder (which is now white) cow print, and either make or order a rope sign with Max's name.  Probably some other stuff too, but those are the biggies. 

It's getting down to the wire!!!  I'm getting more and more excited as we get closer and closer to his due date.  I cannot wait to become a family of four!
