Spring Break has been quite exciting! My mom came over the past couple of days and helped me paint the nursery and the bathroom. For my nursery colors, I am going with hot pink, light pink, and black. I will have pictures up as soon as I am finished putting it all together. So far, it still needs quite a bit of work.
Today, though, I am just relaxing a little bit. My muscles are a little bit sore from climbing up and down a step ladder painting flowers and princess castles on the wall. Don't worry, I was careful! But my neck, back, and legs are a little stiff this morning.
As I have just mentioned, I am taking today at a more relaxed pace. Upon waking this morning I realized that it had been a little while since I had gotten out the stethoscope to listen to my baby's heart...just for fun. So, that's what I did. I heard the little "whoosh whoosh" of her little heart quite clearly and, as usual, she tried to squirm away so that I could not hear it anymore. She has ALWAYS done that whether it is me with a stethoscope or the doctor using a doppler or ultrasound machine to hear her heart, she tries to squirm away. The only explanation anyone can guess is that she does not like the small focused pressure from the listening device necessary to hear her heart. Hopefully she wont be as hard-headed outside of the womb, but my husband and I aren't betting on it.
That's it for Week 24. My next OB appointment in the first week of April. During this next appointment, I will be tested for gestational diabetes. That means I'll have to drink that liquid stuff that has a sugar content that is about the equivalent of my husband's Kool-Aid and they will test my blood sugar after an hour has past. Sounds like fun...
