28 weeks (well, almost)

I will be 28 weeks tomorrow...only +/- 12 weeks until we get to meet the Little Miss. I know it's going to go so quickly, it's almost scary.

Had my GTT test on the 28th (two days ago) and got my results at my appointment yesterday. I passed it with no problems (yay!) along with my other labwork (checked my iron and urine). My fundal height was 28, so perfect, I have gained 16lbs, bringing me up to 143, and Little Girl is breech. She still has plenty of time to turn, and she had better do it! I have until 36 weeks before they worry about it, so if at my next appointment (32 weeks) she is still facing the wrong way I will start the exercises to help get her in the right position. And I am so not opposed to asking for an awful, painful external version to attempt to turn her and avoid a c-section...though hopefully it doesn't come to that!

I have realized that I really need to get on the ball and start purchasing things for her arrival. We have most of the big stuff--place for her to sleep, carseat, etc--but the smallest article of clothing we have is 6 months. So I really need to get her some clothes. I have no real excuse...there are plenty of newborn+ lots on Craigslist and braggyardsales for very reasonable prices, I just haven't bothered to inquire about any of them yet. I need to make sure the clothes are for the right season-Spring/Summer-since we'll be here in North Carolina when she is born and then head off to Texas in April. Both places get very warm very early, and stay very warm for a very long time.

I also haven't gotten any of my birthing supplies. I need my exercise ball, nursing nightgown(s), some more wool socks, Depends (if you haven't given birth, trust me...Depends are a good buy!)...I think that's about it. I need to load up my IPod with labor friendly music, too.

So my goal over the next four weeks is to order the last couple of things I need for newborn diapering, to buy her newborn-3 months clothing, to pick out her coming home outfit, and to get my birthing supplies ready. She's going to be here so soon!
