Snow Fell On New Orleans

Hello again! This is going to be a long post so let me catch my breath. Ah. Let us begin with Thanksgiving. I know I already posted our Christmas pictures, but I just got these in from Huey. They were shot on Thanksgiving day. You can see my belly with clothes on again. Haha!

I finally got the Sugar Test over with this week. Monday I went to the doctor and had to drink a bottle of sugar, pretty much. At first it tasted like orange Hi-C, but after a few gulps it was awful. By the time I finished it, I was nauseous! But honestly, it really wasn't that bad. After I was done, I had to sit in the waiting room for an hour before they took my blood. I was really nervous about the needles but it wasn't as bad as I expected. However, my arm thinks otherwise:

I'm assuming the results came back good since I haven't heard from my doctor :).

After I did the blood test, Joshua and I went to see my doctor. It was the standard visit where he measures my belly and listens to the baby's heartbeat. He said my belly was 24 inches and Beckham's heartbeat was 160 - still very fast!

So I'm sure everyone got to see the snow yesterday, and boy was it beautiful! Was it just me or did everyone find themselves a little depressed when it started to melt away? Of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take pics of snow for the first time, so here they are:

Today we got his bedding in the mail! It's perfect and adorable, AND we got a killer deal. We didn't want anything too babyish, so it was taking us forever to find a bedding that we actually wanted. Then finally my friend sent me a link to the website where she got her bedding, and we loved this one right away. I can't wait until his walls are painted and the bedding is all set up!

Tomorrow is a very BIG day for us! We're actually going to get to see Beckham's face for the very first time! It's our 4D ultrasound! yay! I scheduled it three months ago and I probably should have planned it for a later date so that he would have more time to gain some cute, baby fat, but I just can't wait any longer to see him! I'm supposed to drink a ton of water tonight and tomorrow morning, so I'll probably be stopping to pee at every rest stop on the way to Baton Rouge where the appointment is. Ugh- the excessive peeing is insane! Anyhoo, be sure to stop by the page again soon because I'll have pics and video of the ultrasound!
