28 weeks

Today I had my first 3rd trimester appointment, I can't believe it!
My doctor's appointment started out with drinking the wonderful sugary water for my glucose screening. That isn't an easy task on an empty stomach. I actually didn't mind the taste as much as I thought I would, it was just difficult to keep down once I drank it. I made it through the first hour great, but then I started sweating, felt like I was going to throw up, and then everything started to get dark. I informed Kyle that I wasn't feeling well and that I was about he pass out, he took one look at me and quickly got a nurse who took me back to a room to lay down. They also gave me some water, and after a few minutes I felt good again. I was thankful I passed the test and made it through without hitting the ground.
Everything is looking good with baby Gunnar. The doctor said that there is little risk for pre-term labor and that Gunnar is weighing in at a whopping 3 pounds. He didn't look so skeletal anymore, which was less frightening to me, he looks a lot more like a baby now!
Instead of a picture this time they gave us a short video of what Gunnar was up to. He wasn't moving around to much during the ultrasound, but he really started getting going when it was over.

On a sadder note, our car is very angry with us. We have been talking about getting a newer car, something bigger and more reliable. Well apparently our lil' BMW heard us because about 100 ft. from parking at the doctor we heard this loud noise and then steam was coming out from under the hood. The radiator hose or something related decided to take a big poop. I am not sure if I already wrote, but our windshield wipers stopped working a while ago and they said it would be $1400 to fix. So, we have been driving without them...in the rain and snow (we are very safe, obviously). So I am anxious to see what Kyle found out about getting the newest problem fixed with the BMW today. I guess now we will be getting that new car sooner than later. I would love a new car, and we can afford a new car, I just really hate putting that much money into anything, but I suppose it is time. Plus we only paid $2000 for our BMW, so I guess $1000 a year for a vehicle and $12 a month for insurance isn't bad...it has taken us on a lot of great trips, it is a well traveled car.
