Well it has been a rough week so far and it is only Tuesday! Yikes! Since yesterday was Monday, I had to go to Montgomery for work to attend our usual Monday morning meetings. Well on my way from Selma to Montgomery I manage to hit a duck or a goose, I am not exactly sure which species. I am not sure which it was, but it was not pretty. My car was fine but the duck/goose was not so lucky. So I am adding to my to-do list this week - go get car washed. For those who do not know, I had some traumatizing experiences with geese as a child (blog material for another day), but regardless of what Lee says, I did not hit this animal on purpose :). I will spare you all from a picture of my car.
Today, I had to get up super early and go to Montgomery again to take the 3-hour glucose screening test. This time I had to drink a SUPER sugary drink, twice the amount of sugar that was in the drink I had for the first test. Overall the test was not that bad, but my arms are a little bruised from all of the pricking. I should get the results in a couple of days.
I am hoping the rest of the week will go a little better.
On a happier note: HAPPY 2-7TH BIRTHDAY TO LAUREN AND LINDSEY! Hope you two have a great day and I can't wait to see you this weekend.

28 Week Update from BabyCenter.com
How your baby's growing:By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Busy Weekend!
Wow, this weekend really flew by. Of course, I am already looking forward to the upcoming weekend (especially since my first baby shower is this weekend in Bham, I am very excited about that!!).
On Friday, we closed on the sale of our old house in Montgomery. Hallelujah! It felt great to get that done. After the closing we had lots of errands to run. We went to Target to get some surprises for our nieces and nephews. Yes, I said nieces and nephews. Amanda and Jerry have officially adopted 2 girls and 2 boys! So Lee and I went shopping for them on Friday and had so much fun looking at all the toys and children's' clothes. After shopping we went to dinner at Red Robin and then headed back to Selma.
On Saturday, Lee woke up at the crack of dawn to go turkey hunting. He is loving the fact that we live so close to the camphouse. He can get up and hunt in the morning before going to work. After Lee finished up turkey hunting, we headed to Wetumpka to Granville Furniture to order some dining room and living room furniture. Lee was a trooper, such a good sport! Our furniture should come in at the end of May and I am very excited about it. Everything we got is very usable, comfortable, and different. The new house is coming together slowly but surely. We painted the guest bath and have two big rooms left to paint (the living room and dining room). Hopefully I can get started on those soon.
Sunday, I headed to Demop to visit the fam. I had a nice visit with my parents and grand-parents. It is going to be great only living 45 minutes away from all of them.

More Nursery Pics

View coming into the Nursery: Huge thanks to Ms. Brenda for the gorgeous valances!
Fabulous Glider/Rocker from Storkland in Cocoa & Lots of Closets (what every girl needs!)
This chest belonged to my Granny (my great-grandmother who lives in Linden, AL, when Kylie is born we will have 5 generations!) A huge thanks to my Mom for helping refinish the chest to match the crib!
Built-in Desk - We will use this as a built-in changing table
It's A Girl! Thanks for the cute sign Cousins Matt, Amy, & Lauren!!The Results Are In....
And they are not good! The Doctor's office called this morning and my glucose screening came back a little high, so I will have to do the 3 hour screening test at the lab office next Tuesday. Not fun!!!
My levels came in at 154 and the norm is around 139 she said. So most likely it was caused by what I had for breakfast that morning. I had peanut butter crackers...probably not the best decision. Anyway, pray that the 3 hour test comes back negative and I do not get diagnosed with gestational diabetes!!

27 Week Update from BabyCenter.com
Your baby is really starting to get big. This week your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14.4 inches long with his legs extended. He now sleeps and wakes at regular intervals. He may suck his fingers, and although his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with assistance — if he were born prematurely. Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on.
