., She's beautiful! Sorry last night was rough. Hopefully you all get into a routine soon.

I'm 28w3d and overall I feel good. Last night I couldn't get comfortable and rolling over is starting to get harder. Baby girl was super active yesterday morning and last night when I lay in bed. I love those moments of feeling her. We were supposed to put together the crib and dresser yesterday but the crib has a crack in it so we need to wait up to 3 weeks to get a replacement headboard which is frustrating. I bought some dresses off Amazon for my shower but don't *love* any of them so I'm going to the mall later to see if I can find anything better.

QOTW: I love the warmer weather and how light it is in the afternoons!

29+1 here and still doing very well. Overall things have been quiet and good. I did get diagnosed with gestational diabetes so I will be meeting with a nutritionist and following that diet going forward. I was super bummed at first because I felt like I was doing all I could to be healthy but I have accepted it is not my fault and I will do what is needed for a happy and healthy baby. I can't believe we are down to about 10 weeks and still have so much to do. We close on our house next week and then we can finally start checking things off!!! Time feels so short!

.,- So cute!Those cheeks! I hope things get easier and you and the baby are able to get into a routine soon. Congrats!

teachermomtobe, hooray for the movements. They are the best! Sorry about the crib. I would be frustrated too. Hopefully the replacement will come soon.

jennykat, Sorry you're feeling so bad. You're almost to the end so hang in there!

cateyes, I have GD too. It's no fun but it does get easier. I was diagnosed about a month ago and the beginning it was really frustrating but you will get the hang of it. And you're right, it's not fault. It can happen to anyone. I have no family history of diabetes or any other risk factors (other than being older) and still got it too. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Good luck!

AFM- I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow. I have 3 appointments this week. We have lots of monitoring going on since the baby is small but the doctors have a plan in place for whenever she needs to be delivered so that makes me feel much better. I'm hoping we can get to at least 36 weeks. So far the baby has been passing the BPP/NST and is growing more than 50% on the growth checks. As long as this stays the same we will keep her cooking. It is hard not to worry though. I have so much anxiety before each appointment.

I love everything about Spring and Summer! We have a screened in porch at our house and I love to be able to sit out there and watch tv or read. It was nice being able to do that this weekend.
