At the shower, Eloise got her first L.L. Bean backpack with her name embroidered on it (SO CUTE), she got a couple of new board books, lots of cute clothes, a tummy time mat (Eric's pick on the registry), and lots of other great stuff! Then Grandma Claire came to visit, and Eloise now has half a closet full of clothes, a night light, and three new wall hangings! Two of the wall hangings came from Eloise's bumper that my mom cut up and framed b/c we didn't want to use her bumper in her crib, but we liked the words on it, SO we got the best of both worlds! Anywho, once we get those hung up the nursery will really look great! Izzy got lots of attention with her Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle AJ, so she's been depressed since they left :( I hope they enjoyed their visit as much as we enjoyed having them!
At our 28 week appointment, I had to get a glucose test which is where you drink this organge drink that has LOTS of glucose in it (kinda tastes like flat orange pop) and then I have to wait an hour, then they take some blood. It's supposed to check for Gestational Diabetes, and good news - at my appointment yesterday, the doc told me that I was normal! YAY for me, I can still eat sweets! Oh yeah, AND we went to childbirth class the night of my 28 week appointment. It was a good class, and the other "students" in the class kept Eric and I entertained for the 4 hours we were there! :) Then Eric went to "Daddy Bootcamp" on Saturday morning for a couple of hours and learned all sorts of good stuff (see Eric for details)!
Other than that, we have just been hanging out, trying to relax as much as possible while we can, and getting stuff done around the house. Pretty uneventful really, but good! Check out the latest picture of my ever-growing gut and have a great evening!
