Good Test Results!

Today I found out that I passed the glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes, so I can have my birthday cake on Saturday!! I had failed the first 1 hour test by one point, so I had to do an additional 3 hour test on Friday. I feel so much better knowing that I do not need to worry about my sugar at this point. I have been eating very healthy, so I was not surprised when they told me all was well. This just makes me feel better about everything! Yes, the big 30 is happening on Saturday! My friend Mel is turning 30 on Friday so we are having a party for our family's on Friday night at my house. Mom is making a big lasagna, salad, and bread and Mel and Scott's parents are all bringing goodies too!! On Saturday Mel and I are having a "kid" party at her house where everyone will be enjoying fun and spirits! I guess I'll have to wait for my champagne until after Eli is born!! It is so worth it and I wouldn't change things for a second!!

Just as a side note, please say a prayer for my friend Megan and her triplets! She is in the hospital where the doctors can keep a close eye on her and the babies. The babies are doing great, but one can never have enough prayers!! She is hoping to cook the babies for a few weeks longer so please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers!!

Here's my sweet boy at 16 weeks. I know he has gotten bigger since then with all the moving and kicks. Mom thinks he has the sweetest profile and I couldn't agree more!!

21 weeks pregnant!
Here is a picture of my growing belly! I haven't really felt big until now, but I couldn't be happier! Eli is kicking and growing everyday. I feel like he might be working on a dance routine to break out when he's born! He is an active baby, and I love feeling his little, love kicks and punches!!

Here's my hubby Scott getting ready to paint the baby's room. We decided on a light green to go with his bedding. Being the animal lover that I am, I decided on a bedding suit that has dogs, pigs, cows, and just about every cute animal there is! I can't wait to get his room ready to go!

This is what the little dude's nursery is going to look like. I told you it was full of fuzzy, wuzzy baby animals of all sorts! My friend Kyrie is a fantastic artist, so we are going to try to figure out how she can add a special "touch" to Eli's room!

On Mother's Day Eli and mommy got a lot of cute surprises! I especially love the I love Mommy hat and socks!
