Yesterday afternoon I went for my second ultrasound. Everything looked good and he is estimated to currently weigh 3 pounds and 2 ounces based on his measurements. All of these numbers combined and calculated place my due date at April 8th which is one day before my scheduled due date of April 9th. So I guess he is right on track!
My doctor still needs to review the results, but it sure looks like he is doing great despite the fact that I keep losing weight.
At my last doctor's appointment, I found out that I failed my glucose test this pregnancy as well. So my doctor likes to joke...a lot....he walks in and tells me I am the lucky winner of the 3 hour glucose test. Fun, fun....sigh. I have this schedule for this Friday morning. I can only pray that the results are negative. When pregnant with Taryne, I had to do the 3 hour test as well and all was good. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the same results.
In regards to the name, I think we have a decision, but Kyle is not 100% sure yet, so it will be a little longer before I share.
Until next time...Gig'em!

Update on Baby Boy Rode
Our little baby boy is going to be here in just 12 short weeks (give or take a little since I am sure he will arrive at his choosing). Taryne is still super excited about being a big sister! It is really hard to believe that as I type this, I am 28 weeks. Where did the time go this time around?
I really need to begin the "cleaning" process in his room. It is currently the guest room and the past two weekends we have had guests. Where am I going to put them once I remove the bed? Not sure, but we are looking at getting a new sofa with a sleeper in it. There is currently a twin sleeper sofa in our office, but it only holds one person. I guess everyone else can sleep on the floor.
We have picked a them for his room. It will be.....Rockstar!! I had always wanted a sports themed room for a boy, but really had trouble finding any bedding that I actually liked and that did not have soccer as one of the sports. No offense to those that like soccer, but it is not my sport. While searching for a bedding we could both agree on, we found a rockstar themed bedding and decided that it was perfect.
I know I will get a sport themed room one day, but for now, this is perfect and totally unexpected...or so I have been told. I love the blue and orange and brown. Yes, I am an Aggie and I LOVE orange. It is not burnt orange, so we are good. I cannot wait to start painting the room!
Baby Boy Rode has been growing just like he should. However, I keep losing weight. Every appointment, I have lost a pound or so. I was told I had to gain at least 1 1/2 pounds by my December appointment or I would have to meet with a nutritionist and have a second ultrasound to make sure everything was going good. All my measurements indicated everything is fine, but my doctor wants to double check. So this morning I finally had my appointment with a nutritionist and guess what, I had lost ANOTHER pound. Normally I would be happy to be losing weight, but I just want to make sure he is doing good. My diet is fairly on track, just need to add a few more servings of protein and fruits/veggies, but otherwise, I am eating like I should. My food log was also not indicative of my normal eating habits. On the days of the log, we had run out of fruit, so I had less than normal and we had family in town so we went out for Mexican twice...there are not as many veggie options at Mexican restaurants. So long story short, it looked like I didn't consume as much of those things as I really need. I have my second ultrasound on Monday. I can't wait to see the little guy again!
We are still finalizing his name and when we do, I will share. Again, I can't believe he will be here in about 12 weeks. So much to do between now and then!

The Ducks....
Right before the winter break was over, Taryne and I met up with our friends Carrie, Leslie and Morgann to feed the ducks at Research Park on the TAMU campus.
Since that particular visit, we have gone back numerous times to feed the ducks. The plus side is that all the half packages of hot dog and hamburger buns or other bread type products that have been in the freezer for way to long are going to good use.
Until next time...Gig'em!
