28 weeks!

I officially started my third trimester this weekend. Time is flying! I have definitely noticed differences in my pregnancy. My tummy is feeling very hard and round and the baby's activity has gone from a few thumps and bumps here and there to full on identifiable movement where it feels she is rolling over or something. I find it a bit creepy, it always brings to mind that scene in the movie Constintine when that demon was trying to get out of Rachel Weis' belly. Despite the creepiness, the movement is very reassuring that I have a healthy active baby girl in my belly.
This week I have my 7 month checkup and they will be giving me a diabetes test. I have to drink a bottle of flat orange sugary syrup before they test my blood. I am a bit nervous, I hope I dont have pregnancy induced diabetes. I am trying not worry about it.
On a better note, Daniel and I finally started painting the nursery! Well Daniel really painted the whole thing. I just stood around and offered to help. The color doesnt really look that good in these photos. The paint was still wet, and the lighting was very yellow, the green isn't as acidic as it appears in these photos. I will have to take better pictures later after we paint the trim and get some curtains on those stark windows.
Well we are finally getting the nursery done, now if we can only decide on a name. Daniel and I have made a list of about 25 names and now we are just going to have to narrow it down. I have heard alot of stories where babies names were set prior to delivery but as soon as the baby is seen and held, the name changes at the last moment. Maybe that will happen to us but I definitely want to have a name picked out going into delivery in case spontaneous name clarity doesnt come to us upon the birth of our daughter.
