We got the travel system (stroller & car seat) as an early shower present from my Mother in Law. Andy had a blast putting it together! Here are a few pics:
We also got the changing table for the nursery, a gift from Great Grandma Ponticello:
We also got a glider & ottoman, which is something I really wanted:
A good friend and old co-worker Jess, also sent an early shower present:
On 10/07: Andy and I went to Prenatal Impressions in Oviedo for a 3D Ultrasound. We went and paid for a 15minute session which included 30 pictures on a disk, 15 minutes recorded on DVD and 1 printed photo. At the end of the session we ended up with 66 pictures, 33mins of video and 4 pictures! Not to mention about $200 worth of formula!!! We were very pleased with the service and the overall experience. Seeing Gabriella was amazing. It was also nice to confirm that she was a still a girl Lol! We drove to Ocala that night to surprise my mother in law with the DVD. She loved it and cried, it was a very special moment for all of us! Here are a few pics:
On 10/08 I had my Rhogam shot, I also found out that I needed to go for my 3hr Glucose test. I was not happy with that outcome but I have to do what I have to do. The Rhogam shot was no biggie. I was just surprised to have to have it done in my butt area. Totally caught me off guard!
Today, 10/11 : I went to the hospital for my 3hr Glucose Test. I am not sure why they call it a 3hr because in total it took about 4 hours. We got to the hospital at 7am, got checked in and into the lab at 7:15. They drew my blood and said my fasting sugar levels were 85. I don't know what that means? Lol. At 7:55 they gave me the sugar drink, which I had the option of Orange or Fruit Punch. Being I don't like anything sugary, I went with Fruit Punch and BOY WAS THAT NASTY! I had 5mins to drink it and it literally took me 5 minutes. At 8:30 they drew my blood for the 2nd time. At 9am they drew it the 3rd time. Between 9 am and 10 am I started feeling really nausea and dizzy. I made it to the next stick at 10 am, which she had a hard time getting blood but got it thank goodness. 11 am surprisingly came fast, we did the last stick (5 times total for the day) and Andy and I booked it out of there. We got Tijuana Flatts for lunch, but after FINALLY being able to eat, my body felt weird with food in it. I felt pretty blah from 12-3 then finally laid down and took a 2 hour nap. Feeling good now, just hoping for good results! I really don't want anything bad to happen to my daughter.
So I think that pretty much sums up the last 2 weeks! Lol. I will try and post pics on Sunday after the shower, if not then Tuesday on my free day!
Love,
Mama Steg
