Amanda is doing very well and the pregnancy also seems to be running its course just fine. It's now week #27 which means the last leg of this journey...the third trimester...has now begun! We had an appointment with the ObGyn earlier today. Nothing new there except that Amanda needs to do a glucose screening test. This is the point in the pregnancy where Amanda is checked for the onset of gestational diabetes due to the pregnancy. According to some of the information I've been reading, somewhere between 2 and 7 percent of expectant mothers develop gestational diabetes making it one of the most common health problems during pregnancy.
As the title of this entry suggests, we have not decided on a name yet. The week before Christmas ended up being really hectic for Amanda, so she wasn't able to finalize her name list. So, we have pushed back the process of selecting a name until things have calmed down around here. That means sometime after the New Year...when Amanda scales back to working 4 days a week...is when we'll probably start putting our heads together on a name. In the meantime, we continue prepping the house for the baby's arrival. We now have a crib and changing table/dresser thanks to our neighbor across the street. Now we just have to come up with a theme for the baby room then we can go to town on that.
Here' s the latest picture of Amanda. Happy New Year!
