Tests and To Dos

I went today for my gestational diabetes blood glucose test. Even though a few people had mentioned that the test really sucks and that you feel kind of awful during the process, I wasn't really that nervous.

There's an option now to take the gross orange drink or to make a breakfast. I initially was going to do the breakfast but a lack of OJ at my house forced me to go the drink route this morning. Luckily, I passed, but they did find I have low iron. That explains my pregnant lady lethargy these days! Looks like mama needs more steak and leafy greens in her life.

Today when Kristen was measuring my belly and listening to his heartbeat he bumped the ultrasound machine. I'm pretty sure he punched it. Either he already needs anger management or is super protective of his mommy. I'll go with mommy loving protector.

The past few weeks we've been relishing in our lull before summer really kicks in. And by relishing the lull I mean doing as many house projects as possible before baby gets here.  Most recently we've stained no less than 3 pieces of furniture and done our first load of baby laundry. Last night I organized a closet and found a sleeve of 100 CDs from high school, 4 photo albums, 3 prom dresses, 2 bridesmaid dresses, 2 beer brewing kits, 4 boxes of unnecesssary beer and 12 total boxes of books we haven't read in over a year. It looks like we don't have much of a storage issue at all. Just a minor book, booze and formal gown hoarding issue.

Luckily, the brew kits and a spare queen bed will be going to a good home soon. The dresses are going to my sister's house and the beer and books will be going to charity or will be sold to the first bidder. That will definitely clear up a LOT of room for baby things and general life things. Let's hope we can make this place work for another year before we're busting out of the closets at the seams!

This weekend we're heading down to Dover VT with some friends to enjoy a much needed weekend away from house projects and our ever growing to-do list a few hours away. Happy start to summer everyone!
