Snow

Yup - It is snowing outside right now....just flurries but still snow. Nothing is sticking to the ground but it started. BLAH!

Birthing Class

Tyler and I had our class on Saturday. The morning portion was all about going natural (totally not MY choice but highly impressed w/ those who do it). We had to watch a video that filtered through about 5 women having babies naturally at the various stages of birth. It was basically terrifying to watch and when it was over the teacher asked us what thoughts we had on it. Tyler blurts out "yeah, why would anyone WANT to do that?".....then he looks around the room and says "Didn't that scare you girls??" Then this one girl who looked very nervous throughout the video starts CRYING!! Tyler made a girl cry!!! It was hilarious although we didn't laugh about it until lunch break in the privacy of our car. Highlight of the class by far!!!

The second half of the class was all about pain management and medications which was much easier to stomach. Overall, it was a great class. It still seems pretty far off but I know it will be here before we know it.

This Wednesday we have our seven month appointment. Keep your fingers crossed for the ultrasound!!!

Glucose Test

Two weeks ago, I had to take a routine test for gestational diabetes. Turns it out came back high so I now have to go for a 3 - 4 hour test where I have to fast 12 hours before hand and then have my blood taken in hourly intervals. How I am now going to eat anything for 15 - 16 hours and not get sick is beyond me. Tyler and I have our birthing class this Saturday, so I will have to wait until next Saturday to take it.

We have our 7 month appointment this coming Wednesday. I called the office ahead of time to see if I could get an ultrasound just for fun. This is supposed to be a great time for the 3D. They said that if I expressed concern that the doctor would usually do it. They also said the schedule allowed for it. I really hope we get one! I can't wait to see how much he has grown!!

27 weeks - Third Trimester!

We are now in the third trimester and in the home stretch - although it still feels like I have plenty of time. I'm sure it will go quickly though. We have our birthing class next Saturday - hopefully it won't freak me out! I'm really excited to see everyone at the shower next month!! 2 1/2 weeks and I'll be home!!

Tyler has completely redeemed himself this week and given MULTIPLE AMAZING FOOT MASSAGES. Thank god - that is the best thing in the world after working all day.

This is a picture of what I do to Tyler will I'm feeling extra moody. It's only happened twice a promise. ;-)

This is when I told the dogs that they are no longer going to be #1 and #2 in the house. They didn't take the news too well.

Happy Birthday to Tyler!!!

We had a great weekend. Tyler celebrated his 40th by having a surprise party in Bigfork, MT. Friends and family traveled from all over the US to surprise him and he was completely shocked!!! I loved it!! The smile on his face when he walked in the lounge and saw everyone made all the hard work planning the weekend completely worth it. Happy Birthday Tyler!!! I'm glad you had such an awesome weekend!!!

25 weeks

Here's the new pics. I am going to take some of me in normal clothes this weekend - should have plenty of good opportunity pics because it's Tyler's birthday weekend!! Yippee!!! Our bedding is supposed to come tomorrow. I can't wait to see it!!

We set a date for the shower. It will be Oct. 17 at my mom's house. Hopefully everyone will be able to make it! I'm starting to feel rather large these days. My stomach is definitely getting in the way. Too bad I still have 15 more weeks!! I can see how this could get uncomfortable. Well - I'm exhausted so I'm off to bed!

42 weeks...er....24 weeks!

Yup!  We did it again.  I have a pretty good excuse (pregnancy brain) but Tyler?  No excuse there!  HE should have caught this one!!  He's the one looking at me after all!!!  But anyway.... let's see...baby news.....  I have an appointment Tuesday but don't expect an ultrasound or anything too exciting.  We ordered the bedding/room decor today and I'm very excited for that to arrive!!!  Tyler picked it out and I do say, he did a great job.  

The kicking now has started to feel a lot more like rolling around.  It is so strange to watch my stomach when that happens!  I've been pretty comfortable still with a few aches and pains every so often but nothing to really complain about.  Although, I try to get Tyler to rub my back for me but he says something about having no patience and that he will just buy a massage for me... uh, excuse me!?  I need to change his thinking.  Don't get me wrong I would LOVE a professional massage but I don't think a few minutes or 30 or so of back rubbing is gonna put him out.  I mean...GEEZUS!  

Until next time!!  See ya!
