I got my results in, and NO GESTATIONAL DIABETES! Wahooo! Definitely thrilled about that. Yeah, still sucks that I had to go through 4 hours of testing to figure that out, but at least I don't have anything to worry about.
Mason is just a naturally big and healthy baby!
Now I just wish Saturday would hurry up and get here!

32 Weeks!
Mason could arrive in as little as 5 weeks. Wow! I still feel so unprepared, even though I know we have the majority of everything we need. At least what we think we need. I'm sure there will be some things after his arrival that we are rushing out to get, not even realizing that we needed them in the first place.
As far as size goes, according to the average baby, he should be around 3.75lbs this week. I'll gain around a pound per week that mostly going straight to Mason. Great for him, but not really looking forward to packing on even more weight.
I have yet to hear back from my doctor about my glucose results. I'm assuming that's probably a good thing. I think that if I had gestational diabetes they would have called to let me know by now. Whenever the results are good, they tend to slack off on calling you and informing you of that. It'd be nice to hear something back though, I could use a little celebrating!
My 3D/4D ultrasound is day after tomorrow, and I am super excited about it! I think it will be so awesome to see his little face, and figure out what he has been doing in there for so long.
Other than that, not much else has been going on. I have a doctor's appointment next Wednesday, and then another two weeks after that. After that appointment, I'll be going every week! I just can't believe this pregnancy has gone by as fast as it has. I definitely won't complain about that! So for my birthday, wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, we'll have a new little man in our family to start all kinds of wonderful memories with. I can't wait!

4th of July
Well, I guess we spent the 4th like most people. Eating good food, being with friends, and shooting off fireworks. The weather was hot, and waking up to a rainy day today was really nice.
Mason liked the fireworks. The noise really woke him up and got him kicking like crazy.
Next Saturday is our 3D/4D ultrasound, and it's been 15 weeks since I've since my little guy, so it'll be really nice to see what he's doing in there. And of course, to see his face!
Other than that, not much has been going on. I'm 31 weeks and a few days! Time is going by fast. Anywhere in between the next 4 and half to 8 and a half weeks Mason could make his arrival. I'm so, so ready for him to be here.
Things I Miss As A Pregnant Chick
1). Sleeping on my stomach. That's the only way I used to be able to fall asleep.
2). Cold beer on a hot day.
3). My ankles
4). My feet
5). Wearing my engagement ring. I can still wear my wedding band, but that's only because I can't take it off anymore.
6). Walking any short or long distance without getting out of breath.
7). Standing/sitting for long periods of time without it making my feet hurt.
8). Being able to tolerate loud, drunken people.
9). Skinny people clothes.
10). Wearing shoes other than flip flops.
11). Not having constant back pain.
Things I Enjoy As a Pregnant Chick
1). I don't get hangovers.
2). Foot rubs.
3). Feeling Mason roll around like a jumping bean.
4). Knowing that the end result of this is well worth it, and it's one part of my life I get to be over with once it's done.
5). Mr. H, being the great husband that he is, (and also knowing that there are certain things much easier for him to do than me) has been making sure I've got what I need.
6). Swimming. I enjoyed it before getting pregnant, but it has definitely helped much more since I've been pregnant.
7). Getting to indulge in my cravings. It's the one time during a woman's life that she actually gets complimented on her weight gain. "Pregnant women are so cute." Pft. Whatever people.
8). Pregnancy fatigue is a good reason for being lazy.
9). Did I mention foot rubs?
10). Bubble baths.

Doctor's Apppointment and Tolerance Test
So today was my big three hour glucose test! It didn't go as bad as I pictured it would. Basically I got to drink the lovely sweat-flavored drink, Glucola, and have my blood drawn 4 times in the course of 3 hours. I won't hear back about my results for another week, but I'm not too worried about it.
As far as the rest of my appointment went, everything seemed normal. Blood pressure was good, got to hear Mason's heartbeat again, still measuring ahead of schedule, and I actually lost 3 pounds since my last appointment. I'm pretty sure it's water weight, since I have been chugging down water like crazy lately. And I'm also aware that I will gain this back, but that just gives me all the more reason to indulge myself this week. Also, we discussed my crazy insomnia I've been having lately, and after talking about it for a bit, she decided to prescribe me Ambien. I'm only going to use this on a have-to basis and not rely on it. I'm not much of a medicine taker (I normally refuse to take over the counter meds for headaches and colds), so I definitely don't want to take it more than necessary.
Afterwards, the girls and I (since I had to fast after midnight last night) went to lunch at Longhorns. I devoured just about everything and it was delicious! Then we headed over to Floyd Hospital so I could go ahead and pre-register for labor and delivery. Now that that is out of the way, I won't have to worry about sitting there for 20 minutes during the time of labor to give them all of my information.
All in all it's been a good day! My next Dr's appt is July 15th and my 3D/4D ultrasound is a week from this Saturday! Woohoo!

Stroller!
Last night we made a trip to Babies R Us and picked up our stroller! Luckily, we made it about 15 minutes before closing, and they only had one left of the kind that I was wanting. I'm so glad that we got it, since it's one of the few remaining more expensive items. Mr. H sold his old headlights for his truck to a guy for $100 bucks, so that defiitely helped us in getting it.
Unfortunately, I didn't have my coupon with me (which would've saved used about $40), but the cashier said that as long as I save my receipt and bring it back with the coupon within 90 days, they can still honor it. So that's good!
Of course Mr. H was tired by the time that we got home, so we haven't taken it out of the box yet or assembled it. I plan on taking a few pictures of him trying to figure out how to put it together. Ha!
Tomorrow is my 3 hour gluclose tolerance test, so I can't eat anything after midnight tonight. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to the other parts of my doctor's appointment. Seeing if Mason is measuring ahead still, what progress we've made, etc, etc. It'll be fun even though I get to spend half of the day in the doctor's office.
I'll definitely update tomorrow with any news once I get finished with the appointment!

My Nephew
Here is a video of my nephew, Oliver, dancing to Michael Jackson's "Bad". He's so adorable, and he loves to dance!

Randomness, Cravings, and Such
I got my fix of crab legs last night, and yes, they were amazing.
I also discovered that I can no longer fit into booths at restaurants. Table please?
Mason has continued to roll around all morning making my belly jiggle like a cat trying to get out of a pillow case.
My husband is building a deer stand that has consumed him for weeks. I forget who Mr. H is. Remind me? Realize that deer season is AFTER Mason is born. The man is crazy enough to think he'll actually want to get up early on his off days to deer hunt. Hmmmm.
I'm sort of freaking out at the amount of stuff we have left to get. The stroller, bibs, high chair, socks, burp clothes, bottles, pack n play, first aid kit, and the list goes on and on, but I will spare you. Being that he could make his arrival anywhere from the next 6-10 weeks, yeah I'm freaking my freak out.
I wish my appointment was tomorrow instead of Thursday. I'd like to see how Mason is measuring, and to get this 3 hour tolerance test out of the way!
Two weeks from today is my 3D/4D! I cannot wait! I'm hoping he'll cooperate so we can get some good pictures of his face!
