Have a Dr. appt tomorrow mid-morning, but that horrid fasting glucose at 9 am. Can't eat or drink anything - not even water - after 9 pm tonight. Yikes! Better pack a snack for in the morning!

Also have to bury my grandmother this week. She passed away yesterday evening.

Hello! I'm 13 weeks along now. Does anyone else have a non-fasting glucose test? I switched to a mid-wife half way through my pregnancy because of thesed stupid glucose tests! I don't think they are right and cause uneccisary horribleness =P My midwife does a test but you don't have to fast. Eat a normal breakfst not too high in carbs and sugar and just nothing for 1 hr before the test.

I took my glucose test at my OB's office and I never had to fast. I was suppose to eat normally.

With the glucose screen there is no fast. If that comes back higher than "normal" then they order the 3 hour glucose test--and you have to fast for 12 hours before that. I felt really out of it...woozy and nauseous at mine.

I have to do a fasting glucose - and it's just the 1 hour screen. my test is at 9 am tomorrow morning, and I wasn't allowed to eat/drink anything after 9pm tonight - not even water.


We've decided that we're going to do some light oak wainscotting on the bottom half of their bedroom walls, and paint the top half ivory. Not pure white, I want something that's not pure white, but still clean looking and will be "bright" in their room.

I plan to sew either pink or lavender curtains for their window. I'm thinking pink with some brown tie backs, to match the whole Mocha butterfly theme. the walls will be decorated with pink and lavender butterflies, and some mocha brown butterflies thrown in there somewhere

And dolls. I know I'm a dork, but I have two homemade cloth dolls - one I made with the help of an adult friend when I was ten. The whole doll is homemade. I had named her Emily. Her body was stained with tea to give her a "natural" look and I drew on her eyes and mouth. Plus we "blushed" her cheeks. She has yellow yarn for hair and a black dress with pink roses. And matching bloomers.

the other doll was given to me when I was 17 for Christmas. I don't think I named her. Her hair is more brown and some kind of craft stuff - not yarn I don't think. her dress is burgandy, and I have two kitties in a basket made of the same burgandy material that came with her.

these dolls will go on a shelf in the girls room, one for each girl. Plus I'd like to go back to Maysville Fabrics, and Amish store in Holmes County, and get these little Amish dolls I saw there. One in a pink dress, and one in lavender. Again, one for each girl - and they'll go on shelves in their room for decor.

DD1 really likes horses and cats, so at a yard sale I found a shelf sitting cat. She's creamish-ivory colored and has a white and pink pinstriped dress on - looks like a pinafore dress that little girls used to wear - and bloomers. Paid $1 at a yardsale. This kitty will go in for DD1 - she just doesn't know it yet. She thinks it is for Baby girl

I think I'll wrap it and give it to DD1 as a gift at my shower.

I've also got some lacey table runners and doillies that I think I'll use on their furniture in their room.

It's totally going to be a girly girls room!

I'd like to find a corner shelf that I can put dolls and a couple tea cups with saucers on for them.....or a little table to set up as a "tea party" for one corner of their room. Maybe one of those little round accent tables they sell at Walmart for like $6. That should work for a girls room "tea party". Don't you think?? And they sell the little table cloths to cover them, too.

Just ideas running through my head. We haven't had the opportunity to decorate a "nursery" since our DD1 was born - so I'm super excited about this.

I had an ultrasound this morning. It didn't go well. Please don't comment on here, if you wish to ask questions please send them privately. I'm bowing out of this thread..for now

I wish you all the very best with your pregnancies and healthy happy births.
