ACORN SQUASHed

29 weeks - one more to go until the real countdown begins!! - and size-wise Chicken Fry is measuring somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.8 lb acorn squash. I don't know whether Chickie's facing up or down, right or left, punching or kicking, but one thing's for sure - our little ACORN SQUASH is starting to feel more than a little SQUASHED him/herself inside those tight quarters and isn't afraid to let that frustration show! This past Tuesday, I was lying on the couch after dinner when suddenly these tiny (yet fierce) kicks/punches started bouncing off me like rapid fire and didn't stop for over an hour! Chris LOVED this. The truth is that I did too. We're so happy to know Chickie is growing stronger and stronger and getting more and more excited to come out and meet everyone soon.

The doctor's office called with the results of my gestational diabetes test. Everything checked out normal, so naturally Chickie and I celebrated by treating ourselves to some Mickey D's :) Our next appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, April 3rd, and it looks like I'll have to keep checking in every 2 weeks now that we're getting close. Mid-April should be our next ultrasound ... can't wait to see that cute little face again!

Things I've Done:
- Started picking out/putting together some baby furniture for Chickie's nursery
- Started registering
- Started collecting info about Pediatricians in the area
- Signed up for Child Birth and Parenting Classes
- Put in for Maternity Leave

Things I Need to Get Done:
- Finish putting together Chickie's furniture
- Finish registering
- Decide on a Pediatrician
- Start decorating Chickie's nursery
- Decide on Insurance for Chickie
- Pack a Hospital Bag
- Probably a million other things that I'll figure out sooner or later ?!?!? ;)
