Pictures Galore

As promised (for the last 7 months), I put pictures on our flickr page of me and other various things related to the pregnancy and Elizabeth. I was told from a friend that I needed to take pictures of myself to remind me where I have been after Elizabeth is born....so here we go!

In any case, enjoy the pictures - I will keep the link on the left sidebar so you can get to it at any time. Pictures of Elizabeth will eventually take over all of the pregnancy pictures. =)

Lamaze Class Worries

Jim and I have our first lamaze class tonight. I am a bit nervous. My sister almost passed out during her first class so that doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy about going to this tonight. It is from 6-9pm every Tuesday for the next 6 weeks. Considering I can barely stay awake past 8:30 pm, this should be interesting. Plus, they make us wear comfy clothes, bring pillows and a soft blanket to sit on, and teach us relaxing breathing techniques. I'm doomed! I'll fall asleep within the first 30 minutes. Or wait...maybe that is why they show the scary, graphic videos of birth. Ahh... I am starting to get it. In any case, I will let you know how it goes. Should be interesting.

Pregos Galore!

Most of you have heard that I have a lot of cousins in my family (mirly side) that are pregnant. We got an awesome shot of all of them. Good luck to everyone!

Week 27 Review

Well the first week of my 3rd trimester was pretty uneventful. Last Saturday I went back home to Jackson for Kelly's, my cousin, shower. I stayed the entire weekend with my parents which was wonderful. We went to Sikeston and an outlet mall there that has a ton of baby clothes on sale. I spent a lot of money but it was well worth it. =) We tried to go to Lamberts (Home of the throwed rolls) for dinner but it was swamped. We didn't want to wait for hours to eat...soo...we went back on Sunday instead. =) It was a good way to start the week and Elizabeth liked the food a lot.

The rest of the week was pretty quiet...work kept me busy and Elizabeth is getting more and more active. One thing that is changing is that I can definitely tell a difference in my level of peppiness....or the lack of it. I, on average, have been going to bed between 8:30 and 9 each night this week. I know this may not come as a shock to some since I am not exactly a night owl...but I have to actually force myself to stay up that late. I am not a nap taker but I might have to become one in order to stay up a little later at night. But if that is the only thing I can complain about, then well, I won't complain. =)

Glucose worries

Around the 25th/26th week pregnant women are usually asked to get a glucose test done. I actually already went through this once around Month 3 because I was getting so big in the beginning and they figured it was either diabetes or gestational diabetes. My results came back negative then. I was a little nervous about this time around because diabetes runs very strongly in my family and I have a lot of similar traits to them. I had my test on Friday and just found out that everything is perfectly fine and I don't have diabetes. I am so relieved. For the past few days, everything I have put into my mouth I have worried that I could possibly be hurting the baby if it was too high in sugar. Apparently the baby can take it. =)

Just wanted to share my good news!

Week 26

This was my last week of the 2nd trimester. The idea of starting my 3rd and final (official) trimester is a little sad and scary. But, as many people remind me, there is no turning back now! (Not that I would ever dream of it!)

Not much happened this past week - just kicking and pushing. I did have a new thing happen on the 4th - I could see the baby's limb pushing out of my stomach. Not sure what limb it was but it was definitely there. My little girl is growing up. =)

Well, that is all I have for now for week 26!

Happy 4th of July!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy 4th of July to everyone! Libby is my little firecracker for this year but next year she'll be able to watch them (or be scared like Mommy =))! It is hard to believe she'll be about 9 months by then!

Any any case, Happy 4th of July!!!
