[28] (weeks)

So Monday, I went in for my 28 week Dr Appt to check up on the baby aaaand to get the infamous glucose test done. Seriously people, its not that bad, and I am a big whiney baby. I really don't know what people are complaining about, yes the drink is very sugary, it kinda tastes like drinking lime sno-cone syrup. The only bad part was how I felt afterward, I got a headache and felt kinda nauseous so I just laid down on the floor until my hour was up and had to go in for the blood draw. (oh yeah that wasn't very fun either, I DESPISE getting blood drawn because nobody can ever find my veins!!!) Okay so it wasn't daisies and roses, I wouldn't volunteer to do it again, but I survived and it really isn't as bad as people say it is. Maybe if I had to go in for the 3 hour test it wouldn't be so fun, you have to drink way more of the sno-cone syrup and you get hooked up to an IV have to get your blood drawn every hour for three hours. Yeah that sounds more nightmarish, and you have to take the 3 hour if you don't pass the 1 hour. Anyways I got a call back on Tuesday when I was at work, the Nurse left me a voicemail telling me to call her back so we could "discuss the results." I was kinda panicking because I was imagining having to be hooked up to an IV and have blood drawn, NO THANKS. I called her back and thankfully everything was fine besides my iron level, which was a 5. (yikes thats low!) So she recommended I take an iron supplement, which reminds me I have to go pick that up sometime while I'm still pregnant! So yay! Everything is grand and the baby is super healthy and growing growing growing like CRAZY.

Seriously people I cannot believe it is MARCH. Lilliana is going to be here before I know it! Next Month is my baby shower, which my mom, Nikki, Tori and I are planning away and getting everything organized! I am so excited, I LOVE parties and this shower is going to be so dang cute! This weekend the girls and I are working on the invites which I found on pinterest but I will mix it up a bit! Mom and I already picked up everything, they are gunna be SO CUTE! Cant wait to work on them this weekend! Well after the shower, there will only be one month til little Lilliana is in my arms! YAHOO! Its all going by so fast, I cant believe it!!

LOOK HOW BIG MY BELLY IS!!

Isn't it amazing that Lilliana is dreaming now? I just think its incredible. I wonder what she dreams about, its not like she has seen anything yet, she can open and close her eyes in the womb but I don't think she can actually see. I believe that she has peaceful dreams of her heavenly Father! My little sister Hanora thinks that she is dreaming about  meeting her and my brother Jack and about coming into the world! How precious is that? Love my little kiddos!

Happy or Moody most of the time: This week has been a little rough, but I was reading my bible today and came across John 14:27, and it really turned me around!

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 

I do not give to you as the world gives. Do 

not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
