Great Pumpkin Carve!

So, with about a million and one things to do before the arrival of Brooklyn, my love Nick decided "we" and by we I mean he wanted to carve pumkins. Not the lazy way. Nick bought a carving kit and sat on the couch Sunday afternoon watching football and carving out his pumpkin. Instead of putting together the baby crib or preparing the house for his "Pampers & Poker Party" on Saturday. I will have to say the outcome of the pumkin was rather nice. Now all he has to do is the other one. I am super excited for this weekend and Nick's baby shower. He would be annoyed if he knew I called it a baby shower. It is men doing men things poker, beer, food and fun. He is excited too, I think. I just wanted Nick to have fun with the pregnancy and have a little something for being the Daddy to Be. I will post pictures from this coming weekend.

Good News!

Well on Friday of last week I had to go and do a 3 HOUR glucose tolerance test. It was horrible. First you have to fast for 3 hours then you have to drink this nasty thick syrup crap that tastes like lemon-lime. After you drink it you have to have your blood drawn 3 times in hour intervals. It sucked. I had a total of 4 withdraws that day. Today I got the good news that all my test came back negative. I was really happy. I get to go to the doctor tomorrow for a 33 week check up. I missed my appointment last week because I was out of town for work. Tomorrow I also start my search for a pediatrician for Brooklyn. My OB/GYN recommended that I look into getting a female pediatrician, because most are mothers and know what I am or can go through with a new baby. So, I have several consultations set up over the next few weeks. Then our next big thing is Childbirth class. I can't wait!

I am pretty sure I have no idea where to start. I did start this blog so my family and friends back in Texas can keep up with my life. Most people know that I am expecting my first child in early December. Nick and I couldn't be more excited. He has left all of the planning, shopping, and preparing up to me. All he needs is a date and time to be where and when and he will be there. It is taking him a little longer than most men I think to grasp on to the whole idea about becoming a first time daddy. He is having a hard time letting go of the "good ole days"! He has always been the life of the party and a ready for anything kind of guy. So, as we get closer to time I keep telling him he needs to back up and grasp on to REALITY, you my friend are about to be a DADDY! No more all nighters with the guys or late night phone calls "Hey honey can you come get me!" Wake up and smell the roses my love our life is about to BEGIN! So far I really can't complain. I have had a really easy pregnancy. He has been VERY good as far as asking how I am feeling. Changing the cat liter boxes and helping out around the house. Well, I will try to do this more later.
