Today marks 28 weeks and I got to celebrate with a trip to the OB first thing this morning. Today I had my glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes. I couldn't eat anything before going so they had me come in at 8am when they opened. I find out my results on Thursday. Hoping it comes back fine. I was more concerned that my blood sugar would drop from not eating but I felt okay after the appointment. We saw our favorite doctor in the practice Dr. Robinson. He's a huge Gamecock fan and both of his kids were there the same time Willis and I went there. Everything with Izzie is looking great. Heartbeat still strong and so sweet:-) Dr. Robinson was showing me her position on my belly and felt her head down towards my pelvis and her back was stretched along my right side. Which makes total sense as to why almost all of her kicks are on the left side and upper abdomen now. Also when she stretches my belly will shift all to the right...looks kind of creepy so I will NOT post pics. He said my weight gain is great but to expect to put on about 12 more pounds this last couple of months. I can't imagine what 12 more will feel like after a 12 hour shift at Piedmont. So far pregnancy has been wonderful. I was blessed to have manageable morning sickness at first and even recently had been working out again on my treadmill. Then I hit third trimester and this week has been rough. After working 2 days at the hospital on my feet I could hardly walk or stand up straight when I got home. After looking through my books and the internet I have discovered the joys of Round Ligament pain...yay! Note the sarcasm. Dr. Robinson recommended a belly belt for my days at work to ease the pressure on my lower abdomen. So on my days off I haven't done much aside from sleeping and taking nice warm (not hot...I must put that in there for Willis) baths and have been feeling much better. Now just to get one of the belts this weekend and I should be back in business.
This weekend we had a lovely snow storm in Clover. Thankful that I was not at work because getting snowed in there is not appealing to me. We did not get out of the house on Saturday because of all the ice and with my clumsy tendencies these days we are trying to be more cautious. Here is a picture of the house with the snow, and ice.
I would love to post pics of the nursery but I have a few more arts and crafts projects for the room. I am off work on Friday and hope to go purchase a few items and get to work on them this weekend. Let's just hope the weather cooperates this weekend.

Wish we'd get snow down here. Sounds like everything is going great. Keep the updates coming. Can't wait to see little Izzie.
Yeh!! Third trimester. You are in the home stretch now!! I had the worst back pain that radiated all the way down my leg and it was awful!! The recommended the belly belt for me too but I never wore it because it was so uncomfortable and bulky. More hassle than it was worth. I put a heating pad at the end of the day and that was about the only thing that worked! For some reason it got better as I got further along! Weird, huh? Hopefully yours will get better too!! Hang in there, it will all be worth it in the end!!
