Less than 6 weeks to go!!!

We had our follow up appointment today and everything went well. Total I have gained 13 pounds during the pregnancy and Ella measures in the 43rd percentile. I start my every week appointments on Monday where they will do the NST (Fetal Non-Stress Test - http://www.americanpregnancy.org/prenataltesting/non-stresstest.html) before each appointment. Although the dietitian didn't think it was necessary this early on, the doctor said that they would like to test it because I'm still considered "high risk" because of the Gestational Diabetes. Then in 2 weeks I will get the the GBS (Group B Strep - http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/strep_b.htm) test to make sure that I don't have this bacteria.

So we're getting down to the wire...The baby's room is still incomplete - waiting for an electrician to come out (tomorrow) to give us an estimate on adding an outlet, moving an outlet down and adding a light switch and putting in the wires for a ceiling fan. I'm not too concerned about the room being fully complete before she is born, but it would be nice to at least start working on it...Other than that, I have 23 days (total - including weekends and holidays) left of work (only 16 work days left)!!

We're both really excited and getting ready for the day Baby Ella is born! :)

I will keep everyone posted on my upcoming doctor's visits...

Below are some pictures taken on Mike's birthday - I was 33 weeks and 6 days pregnant. Enjoy!
