Almost 34 weeks

Had a doctors appointment today and my blood pressure is creeping up.  It was 121/77 two weeks ago and now it is 137/85.  I've gained 17 pounds!  Here we go!!! :-(

Grandpa

We had Grandpa Irwin's funeral yesterday.  So overwhelming with emotions when you are 8 months pregnant!  I wasn't aware they were going to have a military service with a 21 gun salute.  It was amazing.  It was great to see everyone just wish it was for a different reason.  Miss you Grandpa!!!

33 Weeks!

Love summer just wish it wasn't so hot.  So busy with baseball games, swimming, weddings,funerals, and birthdays...  We all went to Andy and Melanie's wedding last weekend.  It was a blast.  Bella loved dancing.  I think she was on the dance floor all night.  Ryan had a good time and made a memorable speech.  Good times with good friends

Bella danced with Ross and Wendy's kids all night

28 Weeks

I had a doctors appointment yesterday with the fantastic glucose test.  I failed the glucose test with Bella by one point so I was not looking forward to this one.  I drank the yummy drink and prayed I wouldn't have to come back and do the 3 hour test.  The rest of the appointment went great.  My blood pressure was 124/79!  Yay!  So far so good.  Oh and I got the call and I PASSED my glucose test!  And I've only gained 10 pounds so far.  Happy Happy Happy!!!  

24 Weeks

My appointment went great today.  Baby sounds healthy(140 BPM) and I am growing and my blood pressure(124/74) has been good.  Finally starting to feel better.  I have been a lot sicker during this pregnancy.  Maybe that's why I've only gained 5 pounds so far!  I also feel like I am more exhausted too but not sure if I'm more exhausted or just tired because I'm chasing a 1yr. old around.  Whatever the reason, it sucks and I am dog tired!!!  I have also been having more migraines with this pregnancy.  I had some with Bella but they went away by 20 weeks, but not with this one.  They have been getting worse so they gave me some medication to help me out.  Hope it works!

Happy Easter!

22 Weeks!  Feeling pretty good.  Today we spent the day at the cabin with my family.  It was a great day with family, food, egg hunts, and Grandpa.  Great day but I lost it on our way home realizing this may be the last time I see Grandpa.  Bittersweet.

 

FLu!!

What an awful week!  I got a flu shot a while back but apparently it didn't help!  Bella and I have the flu!  No sleep, so much laundry,  oh so awful!  Morning sickness and the flu and a sick child...could life get any worse?!  No wonder I haven't gained as much wait with this pregnancy.
