29 weeks and glucose test

I can't believe I am already 29 weeks! I guess when you have your second baby it goes by faster when you are chasing another wild monkey around. This baby girl is doing great! Her heart beat was 148 and she is moving around quite a bit. I also had my glucose test to see if I have gestational diabeties Tuesday. I was more prepared this time since I learned my lesson from Olivia. I did not eat any bread or pasta for 48 hours and it was harder than I thought. But, I made it and I have not heard from the doctors office so I am assuming that I passed and will not have to take the 3 hour test. THANK GOODNESS! We have moved the crib into Kylee's room and are waiting to get it painted before putting the crib back together and in the right place. I am getting a little nervous as to how I am going to take care of a new born and chase Olivia around the house and keep her busy. I am hoping she starts to settle down a little. Don't worry, I am not getting my hopes up. I am well aware my sweet little girl is a wild monkey!

Olivia's big girl bed!



Chris and I have been looking at bed sets and talking about transitioning her into a "big girl bed" before her sister comes. This bed is one that Gay, Chris' mom bought and Chris actually used when he broke both of his legs. So, there is a lot of memories that go along with this bed. She has been in her bed for almost a week and is doing great! I don't want to speak too soon but it has been a pretty easy transition. Now we just have to work on the potty training!! In this picture, she is jumping on the bed and yelling, "mine, mine, mine!" She loves her new bed and we are so excited that it was so easy and she is doing so well. The first night I think I woke up to check on her more than I usually do. I woke up one night around 2:15 and she was just sitting in the bed. Needless to say, I did not fall back asleep until she did at 3:40 worrying about her taking off the child door knob or messing with the covered outlets. Chris and I still can't believe our baby girl is growing up so fast. We feel like we just brought her home and had her in bed with us worrying about how she would sleep the first few nights. We are so very blessed to have such a sweet girl. She is a wild monkey but so very sweet and loving. Olivia will be a great big sister!!!
