32 weeks!

So we've made it to 32 weeks!  I know I've gotten behind with my posts, but I've been SO super busy.  Now that I have finished my first semester of grad school I can breathe again and catch up!

Today Shawn and I painted Nora's room :)  Only the one wall, but I think that will be perfect!!  Now I just have to figure out what I will put up on that wall...

Nora Update
As I have mentioned before, my sweet baby girl is getting big.  Too big.  So I am having more ultrasounds than expected to monitor her size.  A few weeks ago we repeated my glucose tolerance test, just to be sure I am not a gestational diabetic.  I am not.  Glucose was totally normal again.  Not even borderline.  The follow-up ultrasound last week showed that she is now in the 91% in size.  Big.  Too big.  Also my amniotic fluid index (AFI) is getting high too.  Not too high yet (still high side of normal) but my doctors are going to watch it along with her size. So there will be another ultrasound in about 2 weeks to check her size again.  In the meantime the midwife I saw on my last visit suggested I try a diabetic diet, just to see if it will help to slow Nora's growth a bit.  I don't have to keep to a super strict diet and I don't have to check my blood sugar or anything, but I am trying the diet.  It is hard!  If it will help to get her to stop growing so fast though, then I'll keep trying!

Here is a belly shot we took with our Christmas pictures :)
