BabyMoon to Chapel Hill

We have reached week 25! Little Eleanor is kicking up a storm and just went to her first Tar Heel Basketball game via my belly. She kicked me when John Henson came on the court. Maybe he is her favorite player? We went shopping on Franklin Street and bought her a ton of stuff. Three onesie's (one says "I'm too cute to Cheer for Duke") , pink tar heel booties, tar heel towel and washcloth set, Tar Heel rattle, Pacifier holder, receiving blanket/burp cloth and bib. Matthew got her a little knit cap to wear when she is born and brought home from the hospital. He was really excited to find the cap because he really wanted her to have one. We had a really good time on our BabyMoon to Chapel Hill and even though I am not 100% better from my sinus infection I felt a lot better than the previous weekend. I am now on Sudafed which seems to help and I am almost done with my antibiotic. However, now that I am getting off that I have another type of female infection so the "good times" keep coming for me and my body. But I am grateful that these things dont' hurt Eleanor and only make me miserable.
Our moms and Sara have been busy planning our baby shower which will be February 18th. I can't believe we only have 15 weeks to go (if I go the full 40 weeks) ah its insane. We started our baby classes. I really enjoy the classes because we are in there with 10 other first time parents learning about labor and delivery. I feel like I know a lot more then most and I also like being able to ask questions and not feel dumb. We meet every Tuesday for four weeks. Tomorrow is class #2 and we watch a live birth video. Eek! The class is pretty equal on who is having a boy vs. who is having a girl. Matthew has Daddy Boot Camp class next weekend and we have Baby CPR class this Thursday night with my in-laws.
 Matthew is also painting Eleanor's room this weekend with his buddy Juno. We are going to paint her room yellow just like my room was as a baby. It's all coming so fast it's hard to believe we are almost in our third trimester and my belly is getting REALLY big. I am trying to look at my feet because in a few more weeks they will be MIA. Speaking of a few weeks in 3 weeks I have to get the Glucose screening test done. This test involves me drinking some sugary concoction and then an hour later they take my blood. Now I am not a fan of needles and I HATE giving blood. I usually get really scared and ramble to the nurse as she draws my blood as a distraction. Here's hoping my levels are normal and that I don't have gestational diabetes!! The magic number to be under is 135 and the results come in two days after the test. I'm just happy that so far Eleanor is growing normally and moving because her movements give me a lot of reassurance that she is doing ok and exploring her little sack.
