Week 31

Sheesh! How am I this far along already? Nothing too exciting has happened this past week. On Monday, Nathan and I got some maternity pictures taken by this talented photographer. I guess she lost a lot of her pictures that she had on her hard drive and was offering up her services for FREE! Well, I jumped on that! And the few pictures that I've seen so far are ADORABLE! You should check it out! I also finished 1/4 of a project that I'm working on. Remember my changing table? Well it has two shelves that were dying for some baskets. So I'm making some after this idea. Here is the basket that I have finished so far:
It turned out exactly how I wanted it to! Now only 3 to go.... : )

And the picture for this week:
Almost there... ALMOST there!

Week 30!

Wow! Only 10 weeks left to go! How crazy!!! The good news of the week is that... I PASSED! Passed what, you say? Well, Last week I had to get take a screening test for Gestational Diabetes. They make you drink this stuff and an hour later they take your blood. Then they check the sugar levels to see how your body handles sugar. Well, They want you below 140 and I was at 147. So that meant that I needed to have a 3 hour GD test. (BOO!) So I went and took that on Monday. You come in fasting, at 8:30 in the morning..., and they draw your blood. Then you drink the drink and they draw your blood once every hour. Well I just called the doctors and they said I passed! That means that from the time I drank the drink my blood sugar went down enough every hour. Hooray! Phew, that's good news!

Not a lot else has happened in the past week. We took down the crib since we aren't going to actually use it in the month before we leave and now we have LOTS more room in our computer room. I've been working on making hair flowers. Some of them have really worked out well, and some of them....well....haven't. Let's just say I'm not the best flower shape cutter outer...

We got a magazine in the mail the other day from Target saying that if we registered with them that they would give a $20 gift card. Who says no to $20? Not us! So we are going to do that today. I'm excited, Nathan a little less so :)

Here's yesterdays picture:
I'm starting to be ready to have baby Salt out! I enjoy her inside and all...but sometimes the kicking is a little intense. Plus the difficulty breathing and the ever growing stretch marks. I can't wait to hold her!

Weeks 27-29

Nathan and I went to Iowa to see my family for Christmas. We had a really great time. The flight wasn't that bad, although I did use my fair share of airport restrooms... Before we left I had asked my doctor to make sure it was ok for me to fly. He told me that I should wear loose clothes and bring a note saying that I was approved for flying. It wasn't until after I left that I realized that he told me to wear baggy clothing so I didn't look as pregnant. I have no idea what clothing I could wear that would hide my stomach! Luckily no-one had any problem with me flying (especially since I left my doctors note at home :D )

Picture for Week 27

Picture for Week 28
Well...I don't actually have it yet. We had family pictures taken and while we were there we got a couple of pictures of just Nathan and I. I'm counting those as Week 28 although I don't have a digital copy yet.

Picture for Week 29

For Christmas, we also got several items for baby Salt. A sweet awesome Star Wars ABC book,a cute pink fuzzy outfit from my Grandparents McKernan,and some baby necessities from the Buffingtons!

Thanks everyone!!!!
