Week 27!

We are already at the end of week 27!  We are now in the 3rd trimester! It is hard to believe.  I am still feeling great, although Brandon and I have had horrible colds this week.  It is not fun to be sick while pregnant, because you can not take any decongestants or cough medicine!  We have survived and are starting to feel better.  I had my monthly OB appointment this week.  Everything looks great!  Adalyn's heartbeat was in the 150's and she is measuring perfectly.  I had my glucose tolerance test, so hopefully that turns out normal.  I survived another blood draw without passing out!! 

We finished the nursery this week and got the furniture set up!  Now we just need a mattress and a glider.  It was fun to do a little nesting.  

Molly is already on guard/nanny duty!
