96 Days!

Lately time has been going by really fast. Joey and I have been really busy lately and when we aren't working or doing vending we just want to sit, relax and not do a darn thing. Well.. while I was being busy, time has just flown by! I only have 96 days left with this wonderful growing baby girl. I can't even believe it!! She has been so super active lately, I love it. I like that she lets me know that she is ok and that she is continuing to grow and get stronger. My belly has really taken off lately as well. In the last 2 weeks strangers have started to ask me about my pregnancy "When are you due", "How far along are you", ect. It has been such a delight. :) I worked hard on growing this belly and I am more than happy to discuss it.
Here is the only problem with getting closer and closer to the grand entrance... I am not ready AT ALL! I haven't started to prepare her room, I haven't started buying things and I still have no idea what we are going to name her. Do I feel a little anxious about this: YES! At work everyone keeps having there babies and each time it happens I think "Crap MB, what are you doing? You need to get off your lazy butt and get that room ready, clean the house and register". But instead.. nothing.. I do nothing. I know that we still have 14 weeks till due date, but if 26 weeks have flown by this fast- I can only imagine how fast 14 weeks will. I did pick out a dresser and book shelf that I think will go with Joeys old crib (if we use it). We just need to order it. It is on clearance- thank goodness! The amount of money they charge for furniture is enough to make me throw up!! Once we have that, I think it will all come together nicely. I am planning on have the baby shower on Sept 26th (thats a whole nother story.. sigh). But I am really excited for that! It is going to be a couples shower- should be fun.
On Tuesday I did my glucose tolerance test- it wasn't too bad. I drank the orange glucola. You are suppose to drink it within 5 minutes and I drank it within 3 (Do I get extra points for that?). I had worked the night before so I had to stop eating at 4 am- at least I think I did. I was pretty sure that Dr.Adams said you had to fast for 4 hrs prior to the test. I actually cheated a bit. I ate some yogurt at 4:10, and it took me a bit to eat it. Side note: A&E yogurt was on sale for 39 cents. Yummo! That is my favorite! I bought like 24 of them- those suckers are usually like 72 cents!! Ok, back to the GTT. So I drank the stuff and then went to the lab to have my blood drawn. Holy cow, I am pretty sure they used an 18 guage to draw my blood- it certainly wasn't a 22! Good thing I had a honkin vein for them. The lady asked how far along I was and I said 26 with the anticipation that she was going to say " You don't look like you are that far along"- everyone says that (or they used to). But nope, she said "You look further along than 26 weeks". She even asked if it was twins. LOL. I don't think I am that big- but I still enjoyed the comments. Like I said before- showing off this belly is a pleasure. :) After the test I did feel a bit nauseous because I had drank so much sugar on an empty stomach, but other than that I was fine. I do feel like it is a bit crazy to put a preggo npo for any certain period of time! Couldn't they just let me eat meat and cheese until I drank my sugar water? Oh well.. I survived. I will hopefully find out today if I passed- wish me luck! :) I have my 26 week doctors appt today and then I go every 2 weeks. Hip hip hoorey!!! I posted my 26 week photo and I also posted a photo with my shirt down- you will probably like that one better. Hopefully you aren't getting tired of the bare belly pics. ;)

Slightly Emotional

I must say my pregnancy emotions have been at an all time high. Heavens... Joey probably doesn't even know what to do with me. I cry so easily! Not only do I cry crazy easy- but I am quick to get mad about something. I do attempt to have a handle on these OOC emotions- but when tears start to well up there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop them. And I will continue crying as long as someone asks me about it. And all I can say is "I don't know.. I guess its these dang pregnancy emotions". LOL A couple weeks ago I had a crying outburst prior to leaving for work and Joey just tried to cheer me up- but there was nothing he could do. The next day after I got up from sleeping (at 5:00 because Joey had crawled in bed with me so I slept an extra 1.5 hours), I went downstairs to find flowers on the kitchen table! Joey had bought me these gorgeous flowers. And on top of that he had also went and had my prevacid prescription filled. I had ran out of the free samples and hadn't gotten my script filled yet. I had told Joey that my heartburn was nearing an all time high and that if I didn't work extra that night I was definitely going to get my prevacid (because P.S. Prevacid is AMAZING!). So he went ahead and got my script filled- it was sitting behind the flowers. He is such a great husband. I am very lucky to have him. Hopefully he will continue to want to keep me. I must get these emotions under control. Although, I must say.. it has been a bit better these last couple weeks. So maybe it was just a horrible 4 week stretch of a surge in hormones. Who knows. Here is a couple pics of the pretty flowers. :)

Domination Continues

Wiffle ball has been going strong again this year. Man I love me some wiffle ball. Joey has been out of control with his pitching- he should be a shoe in for the Cy Young Award. Im so proud of him! He continues to be undefeated while pitching. This year he made the all star team. North vs South. The first team for the North (Joeys division) was made up of The Hicktown Bombers (Joeys team). haha. They are pretty much amazing! The second team was made up of two players from The Woodcocks (Chris B- pitcher and Jim K) and Cody from Soco. The first got a strong lead in the beginning and then the second team finished the south off. Really, its no surprise. The North is undoubtedly the stronger division. Here is a couple pics of the winners!
