( This was taken just a few weeks ago you tell tell we are both growing. My stomach is inching towards the table!)
I am getting this up a lot later than I thought and promised. Sorry for the delay.
Things are going really great! We are truly on the down slope of this adventure! Ty and I couldn't be more excited!
I had my Glucose screening about a week ago and I was so nervous. I will have to say for this one time & one time only I was actually grateful Tyler was Diabetic because he could test me frequently with his blood sugar testing kit, and he was more than happy to do it. My levels were great but of course I still worried! That morning I anxiously awaited to leave work and go to my Dr. appointment so we could just get it over with. They give you this bottle of Orange colored stuff to drink. For me I could barely get it down! I was dry heaving all the way there and was so nervous because they tell you if you don't keep it down you have to come back another day. So I was literally speeding to get there. If anyone was to ask me I will still reassure them that it really isn't that bad and it's no big deal. =) But for myself it was just a smell thing to me and we will have to take Orange soda off the list. Hopefully after I deliver the smell and taste won't bug me anymore!
Right as the numbers popped up on their testing meter I was told I had nothing to worry about. I was actually one of the lowest they had seen in a while so that was good news for me. After testing I met with the Dr. and he said my Blood pressure was excellent but he couldn't help but notice how swollen I looked when he first looked at me, especially my right foot. He told me he would like to send me in to get an ultra sound on my legs ASAP to check for blood clots. I wasn't too worried until the guy kept digging into my legs! Not the most pleasant ultra sound I have ever had but everything turned out to be great!
He told me that it was just the position of the baby and the heat. So I am just trying to watch my sodium intake and drink plenty of water so I can keep my blood pressure at a great level.
I am still Loving pregnancy more and more everyday. The other night I actually was a little down when the thought entered my mind I won't be pregnant for too much longer. I can't imagine not feeling this little guy everyday and the joy it brings me! So I am soaking up every sec I can. His movements are very well known now and just yesterday I truly felt a little foot poking out. Just makes me so curious to what he is going to look like!
Life for Ty and I is starting to pick up dramatically!! We have A LOT going on from here until Braxton's due date. We will be moving in just about 2 weeks. I am so anxious to get in and get settled!
I am so thankful that we are getting in before school starts so Ty can help me unpack. Every day I get more and more anxious to set up Braxtons room & decorate our little place. We just hope we get everything done in time. I know I know you are thinking you have two months but... Last month I started a new job that I do from home just in the evenings. It's going great & I couldn't be more grateful for it. My chances of staying home full time are getting greater and greater every day! But having my nights tied up right now makes it hard to get the things I need done but it will all work out. The baby won't know if something isn't completed right?
Ty is enjoying his time off from school right now. He has been such a trooper with going to summer school full time and working full time. I love him and am so grateful for all his hard work for our family. Other than that we are trying to live up the last of summer and soak up all the sun we can get. Summer goes by way too fast but we LOVE the fall and can't wait for it. We just dread the winter! It lasts way too long here in Utah!
Okay here it is..........
This is a very daring move for myself! This is why it is at the bottom. I have debated all day if I should put this up or not. So here it is the "Belly" Shot. This was taken just a few days ago by myself, I wanted to see for myself how BIG I really was!
(29 Weeks)
