YAY THIRD TRIMESTER!!!!!  It's been a good week overall!  I've been tired as usual, but have been able to get more/better sleep lately it seems.  We have a baby appointment this coming week and from that point forward are onto appointments every two weeks...crazy.  It's getting close!  I've had many people comment on how "tiny" I am...I'll take it because I feel far from it.  But I've had family, friends, even people at the mall and the grocery store tell me that I'm small.  Considering how I feel like I looked last time around, I'll take the compliment :)

I had to go this week to get my glucose test done.  Mark was going to watch Adie, but as it turned out she ended up coming along with me and was such a trooper.  I had to drink the nasty sugar-y Sprite drink and then we had to hang out for an hour before getting my blood drawn.  Between Adie's tablet and a bunch of books she was so good.  When they had me drink the stuff she was curious but that was about it.  The cutest thing though was when we went back to have my blood drawn.  They had me sit in one of those chairs that has the arm rest that lays in front of you.  Adie got so concerned and stood right by my side saying "mommy why are they doing that to you??"  I explained that it was kind of like when she goes to the doctor for a shot and the nurse started to explain that it was a way to get a little bit of blood from me.  Well Adie sits in the chair next to me and quick takes her little hands and covers up her eyes!  We said, "yea, that's a good idea- just don't look."  Then she would peer out from her fingers and kept saying, "mommy- why is she doing that to you??"  So cute...she was looking out for me!

Another night we were all laying in bed watching something on tv and Adie was reading some books to us.  Well baby was moving a lot so Mark started talking to him and Adie sets her book aside and looks down at Mark and says, "Daddy- he can't hear you in mommy's tummy like that!" with this little attitude that said, "dad...what are you thinking!?"

We're making progress on what we want to do for little guys room.  It's been a challenge to figure it out but hopefully in the next couple days we'll be able to make it to the store to decide on paint.  It's also looking like mom and I are likely going to be making the bedding...another project :)
