Issues with MyGiftList.com

So, several times when I have tried to access this site I have been unable to. Also, I realize people may want to go shopping with a list at an actual store instead of online. I am registered at BabiesRUs (not all items on this registry have been transferred to Mygiftlist.com)

I have also set up a spreadsheet viewable through google.com Anyone may view it at this address:

Call from the Doctor

I got a call from the Doctor's office yesterday. My glucose test was normal so no need to do the 3 hour test. YAY!!!! I'm especially glad since I had the worst case of heartburn from it than in my memory.

Doctor visit update

Nothing too exciting to report from the visit. The glucose test left me feeling less than 100% and I was quite bummed to find out I couldn't drink anything after drinking the required liquid so I was stuck with the taste of overly sugary not so good Orange Fanta in my mouth for close to an hour.

I've gained 6 lbs. in the last 6 weeks, right about where we should be. Doc says that the bump and baby are growing well and is quite active. I half figured Roo would decide to be absolutely still and calm during the appointment since I had said it feels as if he is constantly moving. We got to see the heart (all 4 chambers which is quite neat). As the doc was looking around, trying to see if he could get a good face pic I was able to see fingers and possibly toes. We were able to see practice breathing and swallowing. Didn't get a great face shot (attempt in 3-D) because Roo is sitting with a hand next to an ear. At this point, Roo is in breach position, but with 13 weeks left there is plenty of time to flip around.

Next appointment in a month, right after New Years.

It's been a long time

Life has been quite busy as of late. In fact, I should be working on cleaning right now instead of writing, but, oh well. Tomorrow is our next OB appt. Not really looking forward to the glucose test.

Roo is doing quite well. Kicks are growing stronger with growth. One of the favored places seems to be right up under my right lung.

Since my last post, I have finished working (where I got our first baby gift), gotten a new outfit done for Jeff in the SCA, gone to MN for Thanksgiving and KWAR (fencing conference), and come home. Tomorrow Jeff's folks get into town for a nice weekend visit.

It feels a bit odd to know I won't be heading back to work. Having been gone to MN just after I finished has really made it feel like I'm just on an extended vacation. Visiting home was great. Thanksgiving with the family was nice. I got to see 4 friends from high school. Mom kept me quite busy as we went baby shopping nearly every day, mostly just to look. We spent 2+ hours registering at Babies'R'Us. My mom kept calling me granola and telling me I am not allowed to be too militant about my ideas. She sent us home with a good amount of stuff without going completely overboard.

KWAR was a ton of fun. It was great to see bunches of friends, new and old and Jeff had a wonderful time teaching and fencing. Amazingly I was still able to fit into all my garb (late 15th Century Italian dresses are great). By the end of the weekend I was more than ready to get home.

It's nice to be home, but reality has set in just how much is still left to do before this little one is here. I have gotten most of the items registered for at Babies'R'Us also transfered to MyGiftList.com along with some other items. (see the links at the side). I have also opened a registry at Amazon.com which has mostly similar items and some additional books we would like.

So, now I should go and work on getting things clean and put away from the trip and ready for Jeff's folks to be here. I'll update sometime after the OB appointment to report how things are going from that end (possibly not until Tues).
