It was busy and fun filled. Friday night we went to the indoor sports arena so that the hubby could play kickball with his team. I can't wait until I get to play with them!!!! Saturday was the Cash Bash at our firehouse. It is a long day but so much fun!! Sunday was our low key day. We went to church and then we met my mother in law out for brunch. So much yummy food!!!!! After our bellies were full we came home to take naps and watch football. After the Ravens win we got all cleaned up to go and meet up with one of my BFF's who was going to take some maternity photos for us. I am so happy we did it because they really turned out amazing!!! Check them out!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1uneABxTyDneDtcRswBzlSLWW6aZWqHUSR6uFE1Jg4FgeLZjQ3VY-0T5KsAgRrPheP1T_EHCbm8LRHeT2sAydb5G5qDQE96DqyeaoL5fFOIRlKwNDmXcf0mVpdGeNdAVI4DIsbWeFfc/s640/blogger-image-872948117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA1uneABxTyDneDtcRswBzlSLWW6aZWqHUSR6uFE1Jg4FgeLZjQ3VY-0T5KsAgRrPheP1T_EHCbm8LRHeT2sAydb5G5qDQE96DqyeaoL5fFOIRlKwNDmXcf0mVpdGeNdAVI4DIsbWeFfc/s640/blogger-image-872948117.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_qv3AskSbGlVe_mZnfh6NCMvCZglQ_w6FVd80PBLuGKLxB_YQxjrXnvxcQAvl2yFNcs0bbUxQ8Fv3YzF5sFsEJz7F2-L88CKdwSKmWZCAXWiyR3BXgShLwUaS-JaVfm_9Q5sm-K2ByKs/s640/blogger-image--1132872796.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_qv3AskSbGlVe_mZnfh6NCMvCZglQ_w6FVd80PBLuGKLxB_YQxjrXnvxcQAvl2yFNcs0bbUxQ8Fv3YzF5sFsEJz7F2-L88CKdwSKmWZCAXWiyR3BXgShLwUaS-JaVfm_9Q5sm-K2ByKs/s640/blogger-image--1132872796.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_1pINK3YW-OORpT03gs68l7g1Rj4VriHlJJgyDb-1RrmZK1y4lqvgSWqcGGVrIlZvjagWQXIqGwcMwdvItvkDObk0lazyPOkpWBoscU98Ip4oJZJwNIDv9qEV0z7ZQ42wD8HdCcirVg/s640/blogger-image-845241350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL_1pINK3YW-OORpT03gs68l7g1Rj4VriHlJJgyDb-1RrmZK1y4lqvgSWqcGGVrIlZvjagWQXIqGwcMwdvItvkDObk0lazyPOkpWBoscU98Ip4oJZJwNIDv9qEV0z7ZQ42wD8HdCcirVg/s640/blogger-image-845241350.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAKP64mr15XgXqw_Uf5lo1Yr3-flLE9Ot2ZU-x6oN87IrTyxOY3vtvhg4XzE8yVNygPQMtPDlF1pa8G_zU6GZINyulBZmDWPaFppwMHvCMjqiAAEgsQ-QgaY_UiQLdpHcDNmJ7jZmvjnk/s640/blogger-image-690070287.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAKP64mr15XgXqw_Uf5lo1Yr3-flLE9Ot2ZU-x6oN87IrTyxOY3vtvhg4XzE8yVNygPQMtPDlF1pa8G_zU6GZINyulBZmDWPaFppwMHvCMjqiAAEgsQ-QgaY_UiQLdpHcDNmJ7jZmvjnk/s640/blogger-image-690070287.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgedsgSvV8ESxE5Eh9Ps6V5D7Fn2J_EQzr2QCGT0l6JCNKiA6C04yfEMUJmaL1B127PgSCvYNG5LpQfCFkjtGnTfiPdsTRF2hcjG6GTiMZPy2mkbBeG8U-DijVbAWfBLUYPU3M6dycs_eQ/s640/blogger-image--822105459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgedsgSvV8ESxE5Eh9Ps6V5D7Fn2J_EQzr2QCGT0l6JCNKiA6C04yfEMUJmaL1B127PgSCvYNG5LpQfCFkjtGnTfiPdsTRF2hcjG6GTiMZPy2mkbBeG8U-DijVbAWfBLUYPU3M6dycs_eQ/s640/blogger-image--822105459.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These are some of my favorites.

I am so excited to meet our sweet little girl. I had my last OB appointment today. No weight gain since last weeks appointment, and last week I lost a pound so I'm doing pretty well with my weight late in this pregnancy. I even saw the OB that told me off around 23 weeks that I really needed to slow my weight gain down. Well take that Dr!!!! Baby girl's heartbeat sounded great and she measured right on track. Next time I go to the hospital I should be having a baby!!! <div>Here is my 38 week bump picture. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9SHTwbElGkVE0eNObyCAx72I7GleRa9xF_Nobh7ElVNze8Ur0tu9WBqnciqb47RxriuuB65w_COshAUOUnWT4ICZ3Asp0uNTPOWv5woiWk2GaHSSlwMM9nUUMj3AumBS3_697J8pyFE/s640/blogger-image--687896639.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH9SHTwbElGkVE0eNObyCAx72I7GleRa9xF_Nobh7ElVNze8Ur0tu9WBqnciqb47RxriuuB65w_COshAUOUnWT4ICZ3Asp0uNTPOWv5woiWk2GaHSSlwMM9nUUMj3AumBS3_697J8pyFE/s640/blogger-image--687896639.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-14281217935500909842013-09-10T19:16:00.001-04:002013-09-10T19:16:12.929-04:00Single digitsOnly 9 days (or less) until I get to meet my sweet baby girl.

No real excuse except for the fact that after my baby shower (which was amazing!!) my parents were still in town for a few days. Also on August 6th my company had a major lay off and I lost my job. Yep at 32 weeks when I thought I would be going on FMLA and STD in a few weeks I instead lost my job and had to start looking for a new job. Well as you can imagine there are not many people who want to hire a pregnant woman who is ready to give birth at any moment. Anyway that is mostly what has been going on. Plus I've been getting the house ready for the baby. <div>Only 2 more weeks until she is here. I seriously can't wait!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoSrbdWrj2XkQLLt2l4Ar632ted3VnncJpZWWWuQYx7KF5GUxSbVfNSRrGyZQmp-jz4E8SroXUpL2stfQQzYt0Mq8aSe_PT4NIsHWWNo5UZObxYf7XwIYJrhj5ua2uiaauIvE67uMCCnY/s640/blogger-image--1503403729.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoSrbdWrj2XkQLLt2l4Ar632ted3VnncJpZWWWuQYx7KF5GUxSbVfNSRrGyZQmp-jz4E8SroXUpL2stfQQzYt0Mq8aSe_PT4NIsHWWNo5UZObxYf7XwIYJrhj5ua2uiaauIvE67uMCCnY/s640/blogger-image--1503403729.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-42625202373805051682013-07-26T12:09:00.001-04:002013-07-26T12:09:47.046-04:0031 weeksWhere is the time going???? I seriously can't believe that we are in the home stretch. 8 weeks till my sweet baby girl is here. It's starting to get real!!!! <div>As I'm sure I mentioned in my previous post I passed the 3 hour glucose test!!! Thank goodness!!!! I had an OB appointment this week and everything is moving along like it should. Baby's heart rate was perfect at 133, my belly was measuring right at 31 weeks and well my total weight gain is about 30lbs. I have scheduled all of my remaining OB appointments which is awesome!! Something else that is awesome is I ordered my breast pump today. My insurance covers it at 100% so that makes me a happy girl. Apparently is should be shipping out in the next week or so. My baby shower is 1 week away and I seriously can't wait!!! We have been waiting to purchase things for the baby until after the shower so I really can't wait for the shower to be here already so we can start to put stuff together for the baby. </div><div>Well that's about all that is going on these days.

Such a fun place to go. We have been there many times before so we really just got to hang out and enjoy the beach and pools. So key word was relax the entire time we were there and that is exactly what we did.

I know they say no news is good news but I wanted to know the results. I had to leave a message but my call was returned quickly. I passed all of the blood draws so I definitely do not have gestational diabetes. Woohoo!!!!!

We should be making adult steps before the little one arrives but there just isn't enough time in the day nor enough money in our bank accounts to make things happen at the speed we would like. We finally have all the electrical work done and the drywall for the ceiling has been hung.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggY3P6mWainXtuFqIQ80LtyVBHAzbu-eMq0lQ-EG6JlSwgnZcCracfs-X7d3bUoT3QwsHOEshkRB6mZfISRKpStToxw-PdIFktnVrpN0NUJ08pXpD-bXa6eN6wuM_dg2yhIxp-b19FERQ/s640/blogger-image-1521983078.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggY3P6mWainXtuFqIQ80LtyVBHAzbu-eMq0lQ-EG6JlSwgnZcCracfs-X7d3bUoT3QwsHOEshkRB6mZfISRKpStToxw-PdIFktnVrpN0NUJ08pXpD-bXa6eN6wuM_dg2yhIxp-b19FERQ/s640/blogger-image-1521983078.jpg"></a></div><div> The hubby has been working lots of overtime to get extra money for the project so the progress on the kitchen has slowed a little bit. You know what they say about home improvement projects, you either have the time or the money, not both. Oh so true!!! Last night I cleared off all the glasses and stuff we had on top of the current kitchen cabinets. Today hubby is home hanging more drywall (this time on the walls) and hopefully putting in the new window. We need that to all be completed before we leave for vacation on Saturday as we will have a contractor come in to do the finish work on the drywall (tape and mud). Then once we are back from vacation we can try to tackle the next phase which will be the floors. Wish us luck!!!!</div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-44114047238688803172013-07-08T13:27:00.001-04:002013-07-08T13:27:38.212-04:00Try againThis morning I got to try the glucose test all over again. Instead of spending 1 hour there I had to spend 3 hours there. I got there at 8:30 and they drew my blood then gave me that oh so yummy orange drink to chug down. Then for the next 3 hours they did a blood draw. Yep that's right a total of 4 sticks and 3 hours. At least there is a tv in the waiting room and I got to watch the Today Show and Kelly and Michael. Oh and let's not forget play words with friends and play on Facebook too. They told me that the results should be back this week so keeping my fingers crossed I pass.sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-52569728902948163222013-07-04T10:43:00.001-04:002013-07-04T10:43:13.982-04:00Failure!!!!Yep that's right I failed my 1 hour glucose test. Boo!!!! I got the phone call on Tuesday to tell me that my numbers were slightly elevated. Meaning my number needed to be under 135. So when she told me it was 138 I was a little bothered that now I need to spend 3 hours at the Dr. on Monday. Oh well!!! I am hopeful that I will pass the 3 hour test since I was so close with the 1 hour test. In the meantime I need to follow this diet over the weekend to get ready for the test on Monday. Wish me luck!!!!sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-34960355451065867712013-07-04T10:36:00.001-04:002013-07-04T10:36:06.601-04:00Chug-a-lug!!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4_ZCb6pUd30bDI7t6IJAniGMr-4OkMbbak_vocJ_nWQ16_beDEyH7G5SA_40BUEujTknvIlMLYJElTBXUsHxxFiOy22X_73iZyJmdedovXFs8ddO56JL86eOQJlYZ1_DZCpKnpFuv6c/s640/blogger-image--503508701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy4_ZCb6pUd30bDI7t6IJAniGMr-4OkMbbak_vocJ_nWQ16_beDEyH7G5SA_40BUEujTknvIlMLYJElTBXUsHxxFiOy22X_73iZyJmdedovXFs8ddO56JL86eOQJlYZ1_DZCpKnpFuv6c/s640/blogger-image--503508701.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My day started with the breakfast of champions!!!! Yep that sugary orange drink for my 1 hour glucose test. Well actually I woke up 3 hours before my test and an hour and a half before I normally get up just so I could eat a bowl of cereal. Then I went back to sleep and waited for the alarm to go off so I could get ready for my day. I arrived at the OB's office and chugged my drink and then saw the OB and she did her stuff (measurements and heartbeat). Then I had to wait for my blood draw. It all seemed pretty simple. I am the boring pregnant person and I am so okay with that. Appointments are now every 2 weeks. And my c-section is scheduled for September 19th at 9am. Woohoo!!! This is all so exciting!!!!!!</div><br>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-49767812521993664142013-06-28T16:27:00.001-04:002013-06-28T16:27:59.332-04:00MFM update<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Today I had a MFM appointment. It was for a growth ultrasound to see how little girl was growing and to check back in on the cyst I have camped out on the placenta. Well baby girl is getting big!!! 2lbs 4oz already!!! She looks excellent!!! And as for that cyst, well you can't even tell it was there. So both are great things!! The only bittersweet moment was that because everything looks so good the MFM said he no longer needs to see me. So that means I most likely won't get to see our little girl until her birthday. I guess that's only 12 weeks away so it's not so bad. Here are a couple of pics of my little girl.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDLiJcu7gJbzC36podjHxLrD48QT8R85n7YerHfMbeLutpk8CNfGvrIAzt3GkOa4mHxhUbS4_P0eBnzWijETiHmYKk4Dcgelnw8l8lyiKkC66w5qF1r0o1T2XMKrlIxJ635gkdeZu938k/s640/blogger-image--518131071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDLiJcu7gJbzC36podjHxLrD48QT8R85n7YerHfMbeLutpk8CNfGvrIAzt3GkOa4mHxhUbS4_P0eBnzWijETiHmYKk4Dcgelnw8l8lyiKkC66w5qF1r0o1T2XMKrlIxJ635gkdeZu938k/s640/blogger-image--518131071.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ1Jh5jwZQRC-qPmQDJ829IZ9bBcjWcwI7Brmn_aJ2ri8rcKVWotxaFHwqhH-X0rVJMXvw4Ynk_93vGjcEEN4PfPtUqSK_fiWxpKc38MFmaM94vP2K0sNWBYc6tc-9FcsAPk6C8GI35Qg/s640/blogger-image--1169044318.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ1Jh5jwZQRC-qPmQDJ829IZ9bBcjWcwI7Brmn_aJ2ri8rcKVWotxaFHwqhH-X0rVJMXvw4Ynk_93vGjcEEN4PfPtUqSK_fiWxpKc38MFmaM94vP2K0sNWBYc6tc-9FcsAPk6C8GI35Qg/s640/blogger-image--1169044318.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Next up is my 1 hour Glucose Tolerance Test on Monday.

I posted last week and apparently it didn't publish. So I just did it again and now I will update for this week. Not much going on. We just got back from a long weekend at the beach. It was awesome!!!! Even though I could not lay on my belly and fall asleep like normal. The hubby called me a turtle because of my inability to roll over. Sorry no bathing suit pictures yet. Not that brave to post them on the interwebz, actually I don't think we took any. I got a little more sun than I should have, even after coating myself in sunblock. Well at least now I have some color and a base tan before we head to the beach again in a few weeks. <div>Anyway I am currently 27 weeks, I have 12 more weeks to go. I guess this puts me in my 3rd trimester. We are still working feverishly on the house. We have lights in the kitchen <img src="webkit-fake-url://0D1A13B0-AA93-454D-ABE0-018644EE783C/imagejpeg"></div><div>and the new window should be going in any day now. Then next week I think we start the work on the floor and plumbing. Hopefully we can get the flooring done before my parents arrive next month if or my shower. Well at least there is some progress. I love it!!!!! </div><div>Oh and I guess you want to see my bump.

How do I only have 13 weeks left???? This is just crazy!!! <div>Well not a lot going on here. I just got back from a long weekend in Atlanta to celebrate the first birthday of some amazing twins. This weekend is another long weekend for me at the ocean. I am a little afraid of going on the beach in a 2 piece but hey I am gonna rock it!!! Mostly because I don't want to spend money on a new suit and I still fit in my old suit that I got back in October for the cruise. </div><div>Little girl has been very active and I love feeling her move around. I am looking forward to seeing her next week on Friday the 28th when we go to the MFM for a growth ultrasound. Then I go to the OB on July 1st for my Glucose Tolerance test, I must say I am a little nervous about it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAL-KpmMWzy0BzSI_1N960jfmEXgd6chjEebfH58kp7rOcCq5rkHTl6SFECW1yXs9OVfSJ3l8OhFY-RV7I7_qNwDuu5qRQ2SyjXCPztj5hHoh31iavuZMs5NtTH3Ej6EjuXDLNzrV-ZE/s640/blogger-image-1906552866.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAL-KpmMWzy0BzSI_1N960jfmEXgd6chjEebfH58kp7rOcCq5rkHTl6SFECW1yXs9OVfSJ3l8OhFY-RV7I7_qNwDuu5qRQ2SyjXCPztj5hHoh31iavuZMs5NtTH3Ej6EjuXDLNzrV-ZE/s640/blogger-image-1906552866.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-6804140411208494262013-06-12T21:06:00.001-04:002013-06-12T21:06:44.683-04:00Lucky DayAbout a week ago my hubby forwarded me an email from the community college where he teaches part time. They were looking for pregnant women who would be interested in a free 1 hour prenatal massage from the advance message therapy students. Yes Please!!!! Sign me up!!!! I responded to the email and they gave me the 8:30am slot. Let me just say there is no better way to start off your day. It was seriously one of the best massages that I have ever had. And it was free!!!sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-81426037593819981522013-06-06T09:36:00.001-04:002013-06-06T09:36:57.565-04:0024 weeksIt's viability day!!!! I have reached 24 weeks and we are at the point that if I have the baby, Drs will do everything possible to make sure she lives. Of course she needs to stay inside me for a lot longer. Like until September!!! <div>Anyway things are going great! We are trucking right along. Last week I had an OB check up and at that point I had gained a total of 18lbs and the Dr told me to try to keep an eye on it because they only liked to see between 25-35lbs total. I have kicked up my working out, even though I was already hitting the gym 3 or 4 nights a week. I am trying to walk longer than the 30 minutes I was doing and of course I am trying to do it more often. </div><div>We also did our registry!!! I was so excited about that!!! The hubby and I had a Saturday date night at Babies R Us and selected all the stuff we will need for Baby C. The only thing that we didn't find there while registering was the bedding set we selected. So we registered at Buy,buy baby just for that. </div><div>We are starting to make good progress on the kitchen renovation which is always great news. We might even get the floor evened out before the end of the month like we had hoped for. Which would mean we can start to lay the wood flooring next moth and hopefully get the walls up for bedroom 3, which would put us one step closer to starting the nursery!!!</div><div>Before I go for today I should leave you with my 24 week bump picture.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbF49ZcIiVXufxTOinIpTcOW8HCjEDZMZLJn6JQypyAkWsC-v99s7AnQWbWUOYXBx5lkC4fXygDzpa_aPzfXJdSYSWNrjEYKXhwQ69mC_ywpKurtAtjHDl1q5V4qUZMufdsp6lGldk8Jc/s640/blogger-image-1105401480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbF49ZcIiVXufxTOinIpTcOW8HCjEDZMZLJn6JQypyAkWsC-v99s7AnQWbWUOYXBx5lkC4fXygDzpa_aPzfXJdSYSWNrjEYKXhwQ69mC_ywpKurtAtjHDl1q5V4qUZMufdsp6lGldk8Jc/s640/blogger-image-1105401480.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-88799315826042265812013-05-23T12:53:00.001-04:002013-05-23T12:53:10.146-04:00Moving right alongOnly 17 weeks to go. Time is flying by. Today I am 22 weeks. I know the math doesn't add up to 40 weeks but my OB has told me that because of my history we will plan for a C-section at 39 weeks. <div> So there are a couple things going on in my world. First off the other day a friend from the firehouse was so nice to donate a ton of stuff to us. It was so much stuff that it filled the trunk of my trunk. A pack and play, 3 different baby carries, and tons of clothes ranging from birth to 3T. I went through and sorted all the clothes so I have that all ready for when I start doing the big day of laundry. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5ZmNA7rT-Ag0Sa-C6ZkEifvu_q9ia0cQv6wyilOy4wG_uSL4wEp6zmsPKpe5qFDuBU3eKJsV9M2fxIQLdZd7AW9UDAgp7aOew54EI39gxc93KTFnq6SWQ2r5aeV2XnjM6u5SRsZBL9U/s640/blogger-image-1804637749.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5ZmNA7rT-Ag0Sa-C6ZkEifvu_q9ia0cQv6wyilOy4wG_uSL4wEp6zmsPKpe5qFDuBU3eKJsV9M2fxIQLdZd7AW9UDAgp7aOew54EI39gxc93KTFnq6SWQ2r5aeV2XnjM6u5SRsZBL9U/s640/blogger-image-1804637749.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>We also started our kitchen renovation. The wall between the kitchen and dining room is completely gone. Some of the electrical work has been started. The hubby has another day off tomorrow so he will be back at it getting it ready. Our first goal is to have the floor torn up so that we can install the gas, electric and water to the island before we go to Atlanta next month. The reason we set this goal is if we can get all that stuff in before we go, we can have the concrete poured and let it cure while we are away. Then when we get back we can aim to get the flooring done by 4th of July. I guess we will see how things go from here.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnTJFQBQzA8eTvPunMVsz4AyTkIcMdU5tHeS-1OBuSUD_IujflKGEaPWZey658TWnrAIEEG6gqxVZ_Dc8Z0LXNh3uNCYLI2gXdkFfotWOFcpb5Og2SyQj5VAvSGfu8zODovAnAEcEWv4/s640/blogger-image--1123839761.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnTJFQBQzA8eTvPunMVsz4AyTkIcMdU5tHeS-1OBuSUD_IujflKGEaPWZey658TWnrAIEEG6gqxVZ_Dc8Z0LXNh3uNCYLI2gXdkFfotWOFcpb5Og2SyQj5VAvSGfu8zODovAnAEcEWv4/s640/blogger-image--1123839761.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-46017804642223133272013-05-14T08:52:00.001-04:002013-05-14T08:52:16.010-04:00Trying to get craftyA few weeks ago before a good friends baby shower I decided that I was going to get crafty. I decided that I would try to make some fashionable burp cloths. So on my lunch break and after work I had gathered all the supplies. Cloth diapers, cute fabric, thread and finally a good pair of scissors. The prep work was easy. I just had to wash the cloth diapers. The hard part was getting my sewing machine out of the box and all set up. After 3 weeks of adjusting the tension just so I was able to get the machine to work like a champ. I only did one last night, but I feel like I've got the hang of it. So here is the first of many. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5dFiAyDIofPXyeEqV2LfP2qsNODXTMLTqcLCi3QULmvcNQlnElzdaqdhYz5tG2y_zbyxsbHcudxjdebZfONcb-2PnbRdOI51D_3W2Vltx0n0n8hTb5QzcG6HIhoYh_G7FVJWv0mLCf0/s640/blogger-image--1537373740.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5dFiAyDIofPXyeEqV2LfP2qsNODXTMLTqcLCi3QULmvcNQlnElzdaqdhYz5tG2y_zbyxsbHcudxjdebZfONcb-2PnbRdOI51D_3W2Vltx0n0n8hTb5QzcG6HIhoYh_G7FVJWv0mLCf0/s640/blogger-image--1537373740.jpg"></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-45599738954790668402013-05-09T11:02:00.001-04:002013-05-09T11:02:58.450-04:00Halfway thereCan you believe it???? Me neither!!! Today I am 20 weeks and I am so happy. We have so much to do before this little lady gets here. Not sure when and how we are going to get it all done but we will give it our best shot. Our plan is to turn the back unused portion of the living room into a third bedroom/office which will be used by my step daughter when she is here. Her room would then be turned into the nursery. We also need to do the flooring in the living room, what will be the new bedroom/office and the kitchen. We also need to redo the entire kitchen. Somehow I don't think a lot of this list will get done. My bet is that when baby arrives she will be sharing rooms with her big sister. Not really a big deal, I guess. I just want some more progress on our house renovations. Hopefully since the hubby is off today maybe he will get some stuff done towards the ultimate goal. <div>Anyway here I am half baked!!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdmqBZL1LfhHYi5xxlSPdY15o3trA4NdzfP9E8wkOVBPcCB7uct8Z_pAKT0Pfp8uJ60w0kMqN59ZDUvLpF0LVATmYuXkbv-a8k7HZWrE8tYZBuvIridc4jCwzPYaG4LYV6hMkdDJhTV8/s640/blogger-image--291207388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdmqBZL1LfhHYi5xxlSPdY15o3trA4NdzfP9E8wkOVBPcCB7uct8Z_pAKT0Pfp8uJ60w0kMqN59ZDUvLpF0LVATmYuXkbv-a8k7HZWrE8tYZBuvIridc4jCwzPYaG4LYV6hMkdDJhTV8/s640/blogger-image--291207388.jpg"></a></div></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-4607079772541665522013-05-02T16:38:00.001-04:002013-05-02T16:38:11.641-04:00Drum roll pleaseToday was the day of the long awaited anatomy scan. I had a 7am appointment which was awesome because it was the first of the day but sucked because it was so early. It felt even earlier because Nigel felt the need to bark at random times through the night. <br />
Well we got in the office and check out the baby. And I must say baby was looking perfect. I think that the baby must take after me and must not really be a morning person as she was sleeping for most of the ultrasound. Yep that's right I said she. We are having a little girl and I am so excited. After I got to work she was kicking up a storm. I am feeling way more activity from here and I love it. It is such a weird feeling. I really can't wait for the hubby to be able to feel her move. <br />
I forgot to take a bump pic for you this morning because it was so early and as I mentioned before I am not a morning person. But I do have some pictures of my little lady. So here she is. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vpbP8WRo0Tb8B3jWft1Ad7IkNZkv9iOkG2n_Q0w2KZfP2KCrruTel0MJqmfqbFVZckqWQMHXuw0f-5s0meEcoANk6XTGuTnXm5I_GlT_tmbK4W93X8Tg2xcyA8wh5o3xagyRylmi2Iw/s640/blogger-image--1982427845.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vpbP8WRo0Tb8B3jWft1Ad7IkNZkv9iOkG2n_Q0w2KZfP2KCrruTel0MJqmfqbFVZckqWQMHXuw0f-5s0meEcoANk6XTGuTnXm5I_GlT_tmbK4W93X8Tg2xcyA8wh5o3xagyRylmi2Iw/s640/blogger-image--1982427845.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CfAsSXqznAJ8grZ69O-OFpZ-cIubcq4BS7DaDkNjH-kyuiBHqub1gVr96_lApVaPAGkBbTc-4nJz78_M6Ml5zcYN5iu8L_ILlDkruOq-_zK4QmqPa6bmbz_DjDDdRH0x9x2-bOIL7vk/s640/blogger-image-1277267920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8CfAsSXqznAJ8grZ69O-OFpZ-cIubcq4BS7DaDkNjH-kyuiBHqub1gVr96_lApVaPAGkBbTc-4nJz78_M6Ml5zcYN5iu8L_ILlDkruOq-_zK4QmqPa6bmbz_DjDDdRH0x9x2-bOIL7vk/s640/blogger-image-1277267920.jpg" /></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-38641764457864508152013-04-25T21:56:00.001-04:002013-04-25T21:56:59.069-04:0018 weeksStill trucking along and feeling great.

Nothing new or special to report. I still have 2 more weeks to wait until I find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I can't wait!!!! <br />
I am quickly running out of new outfits and seem to be wearing the same 5 outfits. I just don't want to spend all my money on maternity clothing, when I would rather spend it on baby. Old Navy tank tops seem to be my favorite items because I can dress them up or down plus since I'm not due until September I should be able to wear them the entire pregnancy....... Unless I get too big. <br />
Well here I am from this morning, yep rocking my Old Navy tank and a light sweater to dress it up for work. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisflf4irOPHdZrGkrLpUi_tH3UNB_hArJco97RB4fyS2DoUFDN46d97xeqWU0TDMuy-DjB4PDmzYFUTvx80HMfn5wYINGKLpK_nKpMP5jYflo7eG65gNLmzUvj9aJciJ52IQ_tUJURkFg/s640/blogger-image--1243986544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisflf4irOPHdZrGkrLpUi_tH3UNB_hArJco97RB4fyS2DoUFDN46d97xeqWU0TDMuy-DjB4PDmzYFUTvx80HMfn5wYINGKLpK_nKpMP5jYflo7eG65gNLmzUvj9aJciJ52IQ_tUJURkFg/s640/blogger-image--1243986544.jpg" /></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-81693189011811810132013-04-11T08:54:00.001-04:002013-04-11T08:54:06.429-04:0016 weeksSorry I haven't been around much. I can't even say that I have been extra busy. Must be the pregnancy brain. I have managed to take pictures each week but I guess I have had a lack of posting them. <br />
Last week I had an OB appointment which was nothing special. Just the normal weigh in, pee in a cup, check blood pressure and then listen to the heartbeat. Everything looks great so there is no need for metro go back until May 2nd. Wowzers that is so far away. But good things come to those who wait, right???? That day I have my OB appointment and a MFM appointment. We will get to see little one since we are doing our anatomy scan that day, and hopefully we will find out if little one is a boy or girl. Either way I am super excited!!! <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4EFFMKLvFcC5lwbPDzlrGLsy4nHmktGnzCGQazcXr_B119fqr3DCZtJP4YBTYKpuGetNscUtUMrhwdkZuY7GDJSlLAvDtu1G99oTHBzr7UVqgwVl69FvwN9kBnNzUBxQWppye8HCnTLI/s640/blogger-image-1067098236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4EFFMKLvFcC5lwbPDzlrGLsy4nHmktGnzCGQazcXr_B119fqr3DCZtJP4YBTYKpuGetNscUtUMrhwdkZuY7GDJSlLAvDtu1G99oTHBzr7UVqgwVl69FvwN9kBnNzUBxQWppye8HCnTLI/s640/blogger-image-1067098236.jpg" /></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-30054986996254607652013-03-21T15:36:00.001-04:002013-03-21T15:36:38.129-04:00Goodbye 1st TriWell today is 13 weeks!!!!! I am so excited to say we have made it out of the first trimester. Hello 2nd trimester. Things are going really well. This far I have gained a total of 3lbs in 13 weeks, not bad if you ask me. I also got the results from the first trimester screening back yesterday and everything looks great. Little one has a less than 1 in 3000 chance of having Downs Syndrome and a less than 1 in 10000 chance of Trisomy 13 or 18. Those are really good numbers for a 35 year old. <br />
My next appointment is still 2 weeks away. Ugh!!! I hate waiting!!! In the meantime here I am with my 13 week bump. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-q8ceJquFT3bx2l3Dt1zTLhbq8ORDvFQrCfTsX7OfSBK57ZPsI9WCDJRx7P5NXG3Mk-7HrcrtE-JrSSqSp1iW7WZ0RjinMs4kqXVDWrOq6NjqNJT7Mta7jSmMMqZ1XZClcbLh8SIGJI/s640/blogger-image--112496592.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc-q8ceJquFT3bx2l3Dt1zTLhbq8ORDvFQrCfTsX7OfSBK57ZPsI9WCDJRx7P5NXG3Mk-7HrcrtE-JrSSqSp1iW7WZ0RjinMs4kqXVDWrOq6NjqNJT7Mta7jSmMMqZ1XZClcbLh8SIGJI/s640/blogger-image--112496592.jpg" /></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370198000941732086.post-49101137941972331262013-03-12T09:30:00.001-04:002013-03-12T09:30:43.191-04:00Let the hoarding beginGetting ready for this baby has begun. We made our first purchase for the baby. I know most people buy a cute outfit or something like that but we decided to go the practical route, plus we don't know if it's a boy or girl yet. So we decided to buy some wipes. My best friend Katie told me about a deal that was happening on Amazon. It was $7.13 for a case of pampers wipes, if you purchased $25 or more you got free shipping. So for $28.52 I got enough wipes to get me through 2013, since baby won't be here until the end of September. I'm pretty sure this was a pricing error on Amazon's part because if I were to purchase these individually at Walmart I would have spent about $96.Man do I love a good deal!!! Now I just need to make room for all these wipes somewhere. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWLE4YMtbfE3BB8f41CvjRiZT09UWRbHIQ9ofnHtoVPmjIA4J4YumOgM3XPtcaW6jHWNmrihbD96S-nga9uPSy_AoLUvwD615GabHkNicW3EUCgoRj4oC8_Zd1fQ7Z78hkq1KjirTisQ/s640/blogger-image-883689455.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWLE4YMtbfE3BB8f41CvjRiZT09UWRbHIQ9ofnHtoVPmjIA4J4YumOgM3XPtcaW6jHWNmrihbD96S-nga9uPSy_AoLUvwD615GabHkNicW3EUCgoRj4oC8_Zd1fQ7Z78hkq1KjirTisQ/s640/blogger-image-883689455.jpg" /></a></div>sunflowers4AChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13530931973706359516noreply@blogger.com1
