It's that time in pregnancy when doing the (second time for me) glucose
tolerance test (
GTT) is required. Blah! I hated it the first time I did it-around 14 weeks-and I hated it this time. OK, so it really isn't THAT bad but I still felt pretty sick after chugging down what seemed like pure sugar on an almost empty stomach. I also had my iron rechecked and I was dreading a call from the nurse because that meant that something was off. I got that call today. The super good news?? I passed the
GTT with flying colors!!! My score was 101 and the cut off is 140.
Yay! The bad news? My iron is still low though up from 14 weeks. At 14 weeks it was 10.3 and now it's 10.7. It needs to be between 11-17. I'm close! I did admit to the nurse that I had only been taking my iron at night (and uh, I actually had been skipping it A LOT) so I got a stern lecture on how I MUST take it morning and night because they don't want me going into labor being anemic. OK, OK I'll be better...
Onto more fun things...
We FINALLY ordered the crib, changing table, and dresser for little skittles room over Memorial Day weekend. I was starting to get paranoid that we'd never do it-or that it would get back ordered and I'd be forced to deal with it after she came home. I went to Babies R Us on Monday to pick up the crib and changing table and on Tuesday I went back up to Tucson to pick up the dresser. Dh and I (mostly Dh) set everything up in her room and I am completely in love with what we picked! Here are a couple pictures from her "work in progress" nursery:
That crib box was strapped on to the roof of my car! Terrible experience...

Starting the fun!
Indy having fun with the plastic. Gotta love him!
Crib complete! Now we just have to get a mattress and bedding.
Indy was tired by the end. A tired Indy is a good Indy!
