Update and pics

I will be 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I had an appointment with my OB this morning. They just weighed me, took my blood pressure, listened to the baby's heartbeat, and measured my growth. Things look fantastic! The baby's heart rate was 150 which they said was good and everything else is measuring right on track. So, no complaints here! I go back in 4 weeks to take the 1 hour Glucose Tolerance Test to see if I have gestational diabetes. Hopefully I'll pass that test because I don't want to have to go back and take the 3 hour test! After that I'll be going in every 2 weeks until I reach 36 weeks or so and then I'll go in weekly!

So, MrKLB has been taking photos of my every week to see how my belly is growing. Here is the one for this week:



Oh, and I got my hair cut last week and wanted something different, so my stylist cut a bunch of layers into my hair. You can't really tell in the picture above, though, because it was morning and I was a bit of a mess. Anyway, MrKLB loves the hair and I think I like it, but it's taking some getting used to. I'm not as good at drying the layers as my stylist is!

On Friday MrKLB and I went to buy our nursery furniture! So exciting! When we got there we picked everything out and when I asked her to check on availability she said "Uh oh! The crib won't be coming in until the end of May." I was so disappointed because when I was there just a few weeks ago she had said that stock looked good and it should only take about 4 weeks for us to get it. She didn't think she'd get the next deliveries until early June if they are backordered until May! So, she said, "Well, I have the crib and dresser you want on the floor and I have the nightstand and changing tray in stock so you could just buy what I already have if you're okay with it." She had just put the dresser out some time in the past week and the crib was relatively new, too (she had just gotten it when I was there a few weeks ago), so we said sure! So, we brought home the nightstand, mattress, and changing tray and MrKLB is going back this week to pick up the crib and dresser! So exciting! I can't wait to see it all in the nursery! This is the collection we went with, but we just got the crib, dresser, and nightstand (not all of the pieces shown). I'll post pics of our actual pieces when we get them.



The baby continues to kick away, which is exciting. I'm still running and feeling great. I'm getting close to the third trimester so here's hoping I continue to feel well and the little boy continues to grow strong!
