28wks

Went to the Dr. yesterday for my check-up. Jensen went with me and got to hear the heartbeat and the baby kicked while she was doing it so we heard a "thunk." Baby is still measuring a little big but I haven't gained too much weight so that is good. I did my glucose test for gestational diabetes and I failed it so looks like I have it again this time. I didn't really want to do the 3hr test but the nurse said insurance may not cover my supplies and stuff if I don't confirm I have GD. So I go back to do that next Thursday and she said there is a chance I may pass but I'm not counting on it. So looks like I will be on a super healthy diet the next few months which is probably better anyway.

28 wks- man I don't feel very big but when I see pics I think wow, that's a belly!

My only other complaint is vericose veins in my left leg that bulge and are uncomfortable. I started wearing a support belt last week so that has helped.

I tell people that Jeff has been beating me!

This is me with my friend Kathie from MOM's Club. Her little girl Hannah is about 2wks older than Jensen and now she's about 6 weeks ahead of me and expecting another girl.

I have about 80 days left and I can't set up a room since I have no idea where we will be living in the next few months and that drives me insane. We also have no idea what to name him so hopefully we will come up with something soon. This pregnancy seems to be going by so fast and I'm so not ready yet! I'm trying to enjoy every movement and kick though since I know it will be over soon.

Jeffy in the news

I'm so proud of Jeff because he works so hard to provide for us and it allows for me to be a stay at home mommy. It can be stressful for us sometimes especially when he has to work long hours but we are really lucky.

Most of this article is jibberish to me (and most people probably) but I'm really proud to see him recognized for his brains! :)

Maternity Portraits

Jensen and I went to Target last week and had portraits made. I never wanted to do maternity pictures with Jeff when I was pregnant with Jensen but it seemed like it might be cute to do them with big brother. I was really nervous and felt like a total goof the whole time but we got some cute shots that little brother might like someday

This one is my fave
I had them do some shots of Jensen to mark him being 3 1/2 years old. He just looks like he's up to mischief

This is silly mommy!

When they told me to do this I thought it was weird and I would hate it but it turned out pretty good

Cheesy but sweet!

Will it ever end?

I thought since we were done with all our home improvement projects except for the fence we would have the house on the market very soon. Well, turns out the staging and decluttering is going to take a lot longer than I though grrr! We have to completely empty the man cave, I mean garage to paint the gross dingy walls and ceiling but that requires getting the car put back together to get it out. We also have a lot of unnecessary furniture to remove and the question is where is it all going to go? Maybe in the garage once its painted and cleaned out, maybe in a storage unit? Also, what do we do with the stuff we don't want? We could sell it but that requires time and effort and since we are less than 90days from having the baby I'm not thrilled about doing any of that. Its also hard to decorate and stage when I have no design sense at all. Our real estate agent friend Rodd took me to Kirklands home store this weekend to get some stuff to decorate with but it just makes my head spin and I'm not entirely sure all this is necessary. Since it looks like we will not be out of here before the baby comes, I have to figure out where the stuff for him is going to go as well. All but the most bare essentials will have to be stored for a while I guess. I wish I could call one of those tv shows and have them come do all this for me in 1 day!! Ok that's my vent for today.....

Peek at Baby Jones

Since I had a low placenta last time, we got to have another ultrasound of the baby. He looks really good and is measuring about 27wks so a little ahead. My Dr will call and let me know if the placenta has moved up or not.

Still a boy

We got a good view of his face and he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. He sure is Jeff's kid!

Red Door

This is definitely one thing I wish we had done years ago. We painted the door colonial red to make it look more inviting and I am amazed at what a difference it makes. We have the fence left to replace and some staging then the house goes on the market. Now, hopefully that won't take too long but its hard to put up a fence when it has been 105 degrees outside!
