Had another doctor visit this week. Gained 5 lbs, so I'm right on track there. :) They gave me a whole bunch of paperwork for the hospital. I have to "pre-register" and send the hospital any "directives" that I have. I think I will direct them to get the baby out quickly and painlessly.
Also, got a map of where to park: yes, there is designated "Stork Parking" in the emergency room lot! We park there and someone will come right out with a "special" wheelchair for me and whisk me into delivery. (we'll see how smoothly that really goes!) Then once I'm "comfortable" (I'll let you know when that is as well during labor!) then Mark - my significant other - is to go move the car from Stork Parking to the regular garage.
Then there was the blue sheet of paper entitled "If you are having a boy...." If? Weren't we pretty sure about that? This notice then goes on to tell me all the lovely details of circumcision. I'm to discuss these facts with my significant other and let our doctor know our decision. :)
So next visit will be my blood glucose test. Quest Diagnostics is right next door to my doctor, so I go there first and get "the drink" (sounds very ominous to me) and then wait an hour to be tested. Yay.

Team Blue!
Yes, Baby Pastor is a BOY! I sent out this exciting news in an email, but neglected to post here and have been chastised for that, so there it is! lol
We are soooo excited! On a Friday after we found out the good news, Mark called me from home (he gets out early on Fridays) and said "someone" has been in our house, but he wouldn't tell me why. So I got home and walked inside to see blue balloons floating from our staircase, a huge NASCAR balloon and a blue "Baby's First Bunny", which Munchie was soooo mad that she couldn't have! Along with a hand-made "Congratulations - It's A Boy!" sign. Only could be the work of Auntie Di-Di. She had told me she was stopping over the house to pick up an extra microwave we had - she's a sneak! It was great.
About two weeks ago I got my baby belly. Overnight. Literally. I don't remember having it on Friday and by Sunday my pants didn't fit. I have also been harassed about pictures of said belly, but I don't have any yet! I will get Mark to take some this weekend and try to get them up here.
All doctor's visits have been perfect. I went to my LAST visit at the hospital last Wednesday (I was going every 2 weeks). The Dr. said that the "risks" I may have had are no longer high risks anymore - especially at this stage of the pregnancy. So just regular office visits from now on. :-)
I have gained back the 10 lbs. I lost in the beginning and probably more since! So Baby Pastor is definitely growing into a healthy boy! At the last ultrasound they had trouble keeping an eye on the heart to get a measurement - little sucker kept flipping over! Eventually I had to lay on my side to contain him! LOL Told Mark his son was NOT behaving at the doctors.
We're well underway with the nursery transformation. New doors are installed and 75% of the wallpaper is removed. One more day of steaming and we should be good. Then we have to agree on a paint color! Decisions, decisions.....
