Making progress!

All is well here on Ridge Lane. Baby is doing well and pretty active! Yesterday I woke up and had my arm draped across my stomach and there was the baby saying 'good morning'. I laid there for like 5 mins feeling he/she kick. It is such a cool thing. In fact, yesterday there was movement & kicking all day long, even my dad got to feel it.

On Friday I had my glucose tolerance test which checks for gestational diabities. The test was gross, lol. I had to drink this warm orange drink (tasted like flat orange soda, very syrupy) in 5 mins. I felt so sick afterwards. I knew there was a good chance I could/would get sick from the drink being it was so sugary. But good news is I didn't. After an hour they took blood, the technician sucked and just started poking all over, she had to use both arms, after she made one of the veins collapse. Anyway it is over & hopefully I passed.

Last week we asked 'Uncle Brian' to be the godfather of Baby Fuffs. We gave him a godfather frame with the following poem:
To my Godfather,
Uncle Brian

I may not know too much right now,
I still am kind of new,
But I know Godfathers are special,
'Cause Mom and Dad chose you.

To be a large part of my life
is what they hope of you.
They saw something quite special,
I would have picked you too.

Love, Baby Fuffs

I think he was surprised, but excited and of course said yes. Yesterday, we officially asked my sister 'Aunt Brianne' to be the godmother with a similiar poem. We are confident our baby will be well loved & cared for by our choices of godparents. Already we love this baby so much and couldn't be happier.

Saturday we also ordered the furniture for the nursery from Behr's. We decided on the Munire' Majestic collection in Walnut. It should take about 6-10 weeks. In the meantime, we have to get painting & replace the carpet, and some other things to prep the room. But we are making some progress on getting ready for our little one.
