Been a busy busy week!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Ours was filled with parties, cookouts, family, and fireworks. We started off with a nice relaxing cookout at our friend Christy's for her stepdaughter's birthday party, in which she shares with Christian. After that we went and spent some time with my dad then off to see fireworks with the family. Christian didn't like the sound but loved watching from the car.

Then on Saturday, we headed back down to Mount Airy to celebrate Christian's birthday at Riverside park. The weather turned out pretty nice (we were so worried about rain) and the party was great. Christian had a great time and got lots of nice gifts. Waiting on pictures from the party so I will post them as soon as I get them. I only got one of the cake on mine and my MIL took the rest. Thanks Yvonne! I can't wait to see them!



Finally got to rest on Sunday and boyyyyy did I need it! I didn't want to move. Monday was little man's official birthday and he turned the big 0-5! I can't believe he's already 5 years old! How time flies by. On Tuesday we officially hit 31 weeks in the pregnancy so things are still going nice and smooth. My sugars have been relatively good, with a few highs here and there. Destinee has been on the ball moving around and kicking. You should see my belly go! It's so cute. She loves the bathtub. She goes nuts when the water is running. She's getting so big and I think she's dropped a bit. I have a lot more hip pain and my tailbone is getting sore. So we'll see! I'm hoping to make it to my baby shower at least! That plan is still in the works (and giving me a headache trying to plan). Well that's about it for now. Another busy weekend ahead it seems with another cookout, Roger's birthday, and maybe some relaxation LOL! Take care everyone!

30 week checkup!

Well today went well at the doctor's office. I packed on another whopping 5 pounds! Which I was shocked to see, but he wasn't too concerned. That puts me at a 17 pound gain so far this pregnancy, which is great compared to my others. My urine was fine that I knew of. My blood pressure was 130/80 and I've had some mild headaches and a little spotting so I have to start watching it. He was overall pleased with my sugar levels for the past two weeks. They were doing great with the diet they put me on until the past couple of days. I have had a couple increases but he said that was fine and normal. She is head down :) and I'm measuring 2 weeks over at 32 cms. I got to hear her heartbeat, which he said was great. It was galloping away! I'm getting more and more excited! I did find out though they don't allow waterbirths at Forsyth Hospital which sucks, but my doctor doesn't feel they are very sanitary anyways so no longer going to do that. I wanted a natural experience but I'm somewhat scared to without the use of water. So we'll see!


30 weeks and growing fast!
