I'm super nervous about tomorrow, why? Because I'm going to take my 3 hour Glucose Tolerance Test. My one hour test was a little elevated and hopefully everything comes back within normal limits. I just don't want to poke my finger 4 times a day and even worse possibly have to give myself insulin injections! Another bad thing about Gestational Diabetes is that it pretty much gives you a 75% of having a c-section, and I really really don't want to have a c-section with my first baby.
Other than that, I have been okay. The baby seems to be more active and is kicking harder and harder everyday :) I am 6 months today and have now gained 10 lbs all together so far. And it is finally decided that we will be naming our baby boy Mannix, we aren't sure if he will have a middle name or not.
We have also started thinking about ideas for the baby shower which will be on March 28, 2009. Yippee! I will be just about 8 months and a week by then! Oh my I'm probably going to be massive! haha

Excited!
I'm super happy right now because we just purchased our first items for the baby! We bought a crib set complete with all decorations for the room, and for a good price too. I have been wanting this crib set since I first laid my eyes on it..the good news is that Isidro loved it too. I cant wait till we get our crib and dresser! Now to wait till the end of Feb. when we move into our two bedroom. It's going to be awesome to put the whole nursery together for our baby boy ^-^
We bought the crib set, two wall organizers, a lamp, a hamper, a music mobile, a decorative pillow, an extra crib sheet, and extra blanket, a changing pad cover and i think thats it. It also happens to be a very good brand Skip Hop. I had a really hard time trying to find the perfect bedding for our baby but this is just amazing and perfect to our taste. I hope the UPS man comes this week *crosses fingers*

Whirlwind.
Hello
I have plenty of updating today. First off I have to say that I officially can feel the baby move. Second not only can I feel him move, but I actually saw him kick 2 times on January 7th when I was watching The NeverEnding Story with Isidro. I of course, got all teary eyed and emotional, but it was such a beautiful experience!
Now for some more news, I do have to clarify the fact that we ARE having a BOY, only because he was predicted a girl around 18 weeks and then at week 20 we found out it was indeed..a boy :) I had another scan this Thursday and I saw his penis myself. lol not only that they showed it to me "in real time" and I finally have a legit picture to prove it too. So yes, I'm excited to say it IS A BOY. So now for names right? Isidro and I have come up with 3 names so far and are unable to decide on which one to use
Oh and I just got out of the hospital today which is why Im barely posting about the baby moving. I had a cough, then I had a fever, then I couldn't breath! So that equals to a Luxurious 3 night stay at the wonderful Christus Spohn Hospital! Ill tell you I was sooooooo miserable, I cried all day yesterday because I wanted to come home. I had so many problems with my ivy, it kept ringing and ringing and ringing every 10 minutes. I kept buzzing and buzzing the nurses to come in and fix it and they would but as soon as they would step out BEEP BEEP BEEP..I swear that machine wanted to make me go insane! They even changed the machine 4 times and moved my ivy to my other hand and it still beeped! Oh well Im home and that's all that matters.
And finally! I got the stroller, carseat, high chair, swing and diaper bag picked out! My sisters and mother will be buying them for me for the baby shower. And not to mention Isidro's mother is going to be buying us our crib! :) We planned on buying everything on our own since we are so picky on what we want for the baby but they offered and I mean who's going to say no to that?
So here are some pictures of the things we are getting for sure. And a big Thank You to everyone who is helping us out! We really appreciate it!
P.S. IM OFFICIALLY 5 AND A HALF MONTHS TODAY! whoo
