A Day in the Life of the Skistimas': Third Trimester, Here We Come!

Things are definitely not slowing down around our house. The floors are officially finished and things are almost all back in their places. It was a long process and not the best experience, but the floors look great! Craig even said that he doesn't mind cleaning them! Mostly because he can still hear the TV and there is nothing to plug in. I'll take what I can get!

Bowser had eye surgery last week. We've known that day was coming since he was 10 weeks old. It's all taken care of, and his eyes are doing awesome! He was super tired the day of the surgery, but has made a full recovery. He is back to his crazy self again! We knew it would not take too long for him to recover. He got a new collar because he chewed up the cone and his old collar. We like to think that he is a REALLY smart dog and knew exactly what he was doing! The worst part has been that he is not allowed to play with other dogs yet. No dog park and no playing at Grandma's. :( Soon enough.

The first glucose test came back that everything was just fine. My body can process sugars well, and my iron levels look great! I'd give up the sweets if I had to, but I am sure am happy that I don't have to! We went back to the doctor this week because I wasn't feeling baby girl moving that much. It made me nervous. The doctor had me come in mostly to put me at ease, but just to check anyways. They hooked me up to heart monitor and had me push a button when I felt her move. Well, I didn't feel her move a whole lot, but her heartbeat was strong and steady. And the paper that was coming out of the machine showed that she is indeed moving quite a bit. I just can't feel her. No one is concerned though, so I felt a lot better afterwards. As Craig reminded me, I like to sleep a lot and she is my daughter! Maybe she will be a calm and easy baby! Here's to hoping!!!

Her room is coming together nicely! All of the bumpers are made and up, and her crib skirt is on the bed. I made a matching valance too! The next step will just be figuring out what we want to do with the walls. It is all making it more and more real that she will be here before we know it. Last week was officially the first week of our last trimester. That's CRAZY!!! I think she's starting to say, "Ready or not here I come!"
