9 weeks, 6 Days

Well the results came back from the one hour glucose test and all was fine.  Of course, I had to call to get the results (I'm not really happy with the nurses and office of this OBGYN), but at least they were in normal range.  I knew they would be.  I knew when they tried to send me for the 3 hour glucose test they were jumping the gun.

We did some shopping this weekend.  We bought a glider and ottoman for the nursery.  :)  It's beautiful.  The most beautiful glider I've ever seen.  I got to pick out the fabric (a nice brown and ivory print, so it's very gender neutral), and they will hold it and have it delivered to our new house when it's ready.  We almost bought the stroller/pram combo, but we're still doing some research on that end.  I also think it's too early to buy baby stuff right now.  The glider/ottoman will be used in the living room once it's done in the nursery, so it's multi-purpose and not just baby-specific.  I'll feel more comfortable buying baby stuff once we hit the 12 week mark.  (I'm very superstitious.  I didn't even want to tell anyone until 12 weeks.  Hubby told me the other day "we are going to have a baby, stop it."  It's not that easy for me!)

So the store we got the glider/ottoman from is called All About Baby in Covington, very close to where our new house is.  Good for their business, bad for our wallets.  I think we plan to get the nursery furniture from there, too, which will cost a small fortune.  But I told hubby that I would be willing to sacrifice new furniture for us if it meant our baby got beautiful bedroom furniture.  And that's the honest truth.  This baby is spoiled already and it still looks like an alien.

My SIL suggested this Metromint water from Fresh Market to help with the morning sickness.  I've still been feeling a little queasy lately, so I bought out our local Fresh Market of the stuff.  I love it.  It tastes great and the mint really helps.  I hope they restock by next weekend so I can get some more if I need it.  I would drink this stuff even if I didn't have morning sickness.  It's really refreshing and delicious.

Time is really flying... it's kind of scary.  I know I'm going to blink and I'm going to be full term and "ready" to have this baby.  But I'm scared I'll be physically ready, but not mentally prepared.  I still don't really feel pregnant, just sick and exhausted and tired.  I know they say 40 weeks is a long time, but these first 6 weeks since we've found out have FLOWN by.  That scares me.
