What have we gotten ourselves into?

This has been a busy month. It started off with being tested for gestational diabetes - I had to drink a sweet yucky drink and give blood. And, I failed!! This might have actually been the first test I have failed. Todd seems to think it was all the ice cream I have been eating. So, next I had to take the 2nd round (2nd chance test - before they diagnose you) where you have to sit in the lab for three hours and they take blood four times, UGH. Have I mentioned how much I hate giving blood? Well this time I passed, thank goodness. So, I have gone back to eating ice cream :).

Last weekend, Todd and I took our 2nd of two childbirth classes. This one covered everything about after the baby is born. We learned infant CPR, diapering (Todd is a pro - Ellwoods', you would be proud), swaddling, holding, etc. I can't tell you how overwhelmed I was. Yup, had a bit of a melt down when we got home. I think I decided that this motherhood thing is a little too scary.

Lastly, I have started getting some new fun sensations:

1. Heartburn
2. Swollen ankles and feet, or should I now just call them cankles?
3. Memory loss, I had heard this wouldn't start till after the baby came, but I always was ahead of the game!
