Sorry I forgot to post last week - between packing and getting ready to move and being overly stressed out - I just flat out forgot.
98 more days until Logan is here! AKA 14 weeks... crazy how fast time goes! He will be here before we know it! My morning was spent getting repeatedly poked with needles... it was lovely. I had to do the 3-hour glucose test again today. I did it the first time at 8 weeks and doing it today which is when it is normally done in pregnancy. Good times... I'm glad it is over with - that is for sure! The sugary drink they make you drink is just nasty and I felt sick most of the time. Luckily they give me my own special room with a TV and bed. So I watched a movie for half the time and then slept the other half! Worked out well in that regard.
We moved into our house over the weekend! The move itself went great! We had tons of help, my parents, Nathan's parents, Kyle, Eric and Nathan's sister Deb. I did a whole lot of nothing and sat in a chair pointing. I was feeling really crappy so it was probably a good thing. We had everything moved out of the 3rd floor apartment and into the house in less than four hours! It was great! Unpacking... not that is going... slowly, but it is getting there. Feels like every time we start one box it takes us to another box and neither box is empty by the time bedtime comes about. I am hoping this weekend we can bang out a lot of it. My goal tonight is to finish putting all our bathroom stuff away and get a bit more organized with the clothes in the bedroom. We shall see! I know we will feel SO much better and so much more at home when we finally have some rooms just flat out DONE!
Anyway - so the update for Logan goes as such:
The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. (Nathan is getting back in to reading to Logan so it will be fun to see if he responds to his voice in the coming weeks.) He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. (I wonder how much of that baby fat is going to end up as Wolfe cheeks... or maybe he'll just get mommy's high cheek bones and call it good... let's hope it isn't BOTH!!) He now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches(an English hot house cucumber) (don't you just love how specific they get referencing food that is the size of your baby?) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take two to three days.
