Baby Update

I saw my OB today and all is checking out fine. The heartbeat sounds good and I'm measuring the correct week (27). One big praise is that I passed my glucose tolerance test! YEAH!!! I was nervous about this but followed my Dr's advice and ate an Atkins type breakfast before the test. Also my H/H levels are good which means I'm not anemic.
I also did some shopping today while in Springfield. I went to Children's Orchard which is a resale kids clothing store. They have a little of everything in there are it's full wall to wall. I found it all a bit overwhelming, which is pretty much how I feel everytime I try to go baby shopping. I don't know what to buy, what sizes to get etc. It's so much to comprehend that I end up leaving the store. I have most of the essentials, I think anyway, I guess we'll figure the rest out as we go. I know the big things left to buy are a carseat, stroller, swing and clothes. I've tried to resist buying clothes but I'm starting to feel like this kid isn't going to have anything to wear.
Speaking of wearing things, the girls are finally comfortable. Praise the Lord. I went to a mother and baby support store that's part of the hospital and was measured for the correct size and fit. Now they were big to start with so as you can imagine they've only grown to a 34 G!!! This freaks me out a little but I guess I new it was coming. The other thing that freaked me out a little is the lady who was fitting me informed me that I'm carrying this baby way to low for it to be a girl and I also still have curves, which apparently you supposedly lose when you have a girl. I told her two ultrasounds have said it's a girl but she just looked at me and smiled. So for Justin I guess there is still hope for a baby boy. He may wear pink the first 6 mo of his life. I guess we'll have to wait and see but it makes me nervous. My intuition has felt girl all along and like I said two US showed a girl. Oh who knows....
OK enough for now. Later.
