Doctors Appt

We had our doctors appt. in Memphis on Wednesday. I'll post the 3-d ultrasound picture as soon as we have a more reliable internet connection. Sarah Ella weighed 2lbs and 6 ounces! I couldn't believe how big she is already! Everything looked great in the ultrasound which is such a relief! I had my modified blood glucose test and we were surprised that I didn't pass it! My doctor wants a reading of 140mg/dl or less an hour after drinking the sugary drink. My modified glucose was 189mg/dl! I am actually in the low risk category for gestational diabetes and so my doctor wasn't concerened about this. However, normal procedure calls for a three hour fasting blood glucose test. I think I'm going to refuse this though. If I did have gestational diabetes I would just modify my diet. So I'm just going to eat like I have diabetes (which is healthy habity anyway) and have my blood sugar checked at my next doctors appt on Jan 22nd. Adam and I will start prenatal classes at the local hospital in January. So we are excited about that.
This month has flown by and I can't believe Christmas is next week. We still have a few unpacked boxes, but it's starting to come together at the house. We will be in Pulaski up until the day after Christmas then we are driving to Knoxville to see Adam's family.

Moving Weekend

Adam and I are packing up the Memphis house to move to my hometown- Pulaski, TN. We just put the Memphis house FSBO last week. Hopefully we will have luck selling it since it's right next to the Univ. of Memphis. Adam plans to commute the first month while he ties up his business in Memphis. He still is going to work for Shoemaker Financial and see his clients in Memphis (and Knoxville), but he will have a Shoemaker office in Pulaski. I still haven't finalized my work plans yet! I'm excited to start working, but I want to make sure I make a good decision of where to practice.

I've been gone for over 8 years now and I'm so excited to finally go back home! We are moving into the house I grew up in which is really neat. The painters have finished the interior and the carpet cleaners were there yesterday so it is like a brand new house. We will be less than a mile from my parents and we will also be closer to Adam's parents who live in Knoxville.

Sarah Ella is doing great. It feels like she is still really low when she moves. My back has been hurting - probably a rib. It's something that happens in some pregnancies from what I've read. It gets worse in the evening. Hopefully it won't progress or maybe it will just get better by itself! We are excited about our Dec. 17th doctor appt. It will be our last appt. in Memphis. I'm going to have to find another doctor this month that will be closer to home.
