28 weeks

My life seems to get busier and busier!!  So much to do and so little time.  We are definitely getting a few more things done around our home.  I can't wait to post pictures of our final projects... it will probably we a while though.  :o)  Tomorrow, I have my glucose test.  I have to be up early to drink the juice an hour before my appointment... and then I wait.  I hope it's not as bad as I've heard.  I'll let you know ;o)

I don't have much to say about this last week. I had to work every other day and in between I did my best to get a few things done around the house. Needless to day, it doesn't feel like I got much done. Here's to next week, I guess. I'm looking forward to my glucose test coming up on Wednesday. Yippee. Today Ray took me to my very first OSU game. I also spent some time with my bestie at the mall. I helped her pick out a pretty dress for a wedding she is attending and she helped me decide on a maternity coat for the cold weather. We finished off the night by enjoying a delicious wedge salad and sharing a quesadilla at California Pizza Kitchen. Yum!

I would also like to give a Happy Birthday shout out to my other bestie and most favorite cousin, Jessie!  Happy birthday, girlfriend!!

26 weeks

We are now 3 months away from due date! 93 days from right now!! :oD

Been a tough, busy week.  The previous week we suddenly lost a close friend of ours, a family member of two of our close friends.  It still doesn't seem real.  The past 2 weeks has been super busy with preparing for his funeral, rearranging schedules, and catching up in between.  I worked this last weekend 4 days in a row.  I am exhausted!

Also, on Wednesday, we went to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast at the Palace Theater.  It was a cold night but we dressed up and made it to the show.  I must say it was really good, however, it was not my favorite.  Disney's Lion King was SO good that it just couldn't compete.  I rather enjoyed seeing all the little girls dressed in their little Belle dresses.  How much fun they must be having.  I hope to take my little guy to see the shows one day.

Here is the dress I wore.  I did have to wear it with a jacket because it was so cold Wednesday evening (and I barely got it zipped too).  Makes me wonder... what am I going to do when it gets really cold over the next few months?  I better start looking for some options!

How far along? 26 weeks.

Maternity clothes? Yes, definitely.
Stretch marks? Not yet, trying to keep them away.
Sleep? As much as I can.
Miss Anything? Less house work, HA!  Who am I kidding? Just seems like we still have so much to do.

Food cravings? The Chipotle obsession continues.  I'm enjoying it at least once a week... at least.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week.
Gender? Sweet baby boy.
Labor Signs? No.
Symptoms? Getting larger, a bit uncomfortable but still feeling good.  Tired, but good.
Belly Button in or out? Still in.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on.
Mood? Good mood! :o)
Looking forward to? Our crib arriving!  So excited to announce that we placed our order for baby's crib and dresser/changer today.  Now on to finishing the room.  Getting closer to having the room cleared out and painted.  Shouldn't be too much longer!  I will post pictures when it's ready.

14 weeks and 6 days until due date!! 104 days!!  6,240 minutes!!  374400 seconds!! Hehe.

Check out these scrubs!  Whoo hoo.  I must say, I love them!  They are so comfortable.  Much more comfortable than the ones I've been wearing pre-pregnancy.  They aren't as soft but they are much stretchier.

How far along? 25 weeks.
