Parkers tree house picks...

I have been watching this out my back window for the last few weekends. Parker loves the fort and is having loads of fun inviting all of the neighborhood boys and girls over to play. His imagination makes this thing so much fun for him. We have lots of work to do, but it is coming along just fine. Daddy is working hard on it, which makes it all that much better!

30 weeks and counting

Well, As expected, it was a miss test. After 5 hours of drawing blood and looking like some beat my arm to a bloody mess, the results are in. I officially don't have Gestational Diabetes. Take a look at the picture to the right. Nice! It makes me wonder why they didn't choose another vein every once in awhile. Anyway...I saw the doctor and will now be coming every 2 weeks until 36 weeks and then will be coming every week after that. I am pretty certain I won't make it to July 29th.

I am so much bigger this one and he is straight out instead of wide like Parker. He is very active and kicking all the time. I hope that means he is my athlete!

Doctor didn't have much to say except the same thing he says every time. Pay attention to babies movement, take your rings off, drink lots of water, etc... oh and he insulted me saying i must not have time for yoga in between all the manicures and pedicures. I think he might have me confused with his westlake clientele.

Regardless, I am so looking forward to delivery!!!!! I am ready to Meet Landon. Attached is the 30 week pick of my belly...see out and in the front! Man am I achy this round.

28 weeks

I am officially in the third trimester. YEAH!

I am starting to hurt and waddle and people keep saying are sure you only have one in there??? I want to be like F-You! I am at 174 weight...which is about 20 lbs gained so far. This one is probably gonna be a 35 lb're.

I had my 28 week appointment today. Had to do the glucose test, which I failed. I think it was just a miss-test...but regardless I have to go back next Friday for 5 hours to get blood drawn every hour after eating a ton of carbs and sweets just to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. I hope I don't! I didn't with Parker, but who knows....I will keep everyone posted.

Landon Patrick is looking good. He was staring right at us at the appointment today. I think he was looking at me...:) He was kicking around a ton after that sugar drink I had to drink in 5 minutes. I am apparently measuring 2 weeks early, which means my baby is measuring bigger than it should be at this stage, not that I am going to deliver 2 weeks early. He is at 3 lbs and should be at 2. She said he is measuring in the 76th percentile for height and 90 percentile for weight...I think. Regardless this baby is on track for an 8lb labor. Which I really don't like. Hell, I couldn't push out 6 what am I supposed to do with 8?

Time to start driving up north every 2 weeks. Time to start paying really close attention to movement of Landon and time to start kick counting for preterm labor.

He is head down already and they said that they typically stay that way once they get down there. Seems like he is ready to roll.

Still haven't received my bedding of which I ordered over 3 weeks ago. They keep sending me an email that says your shipment will be received in 7 days. This would be the third time I have received it. I need it to start painting the room!!!!!We have begun pulling everything out of the attic...changing table, bed, etc.

Parker hasn't said much about the baby these days. He is focused on having fun and watching daddy build his fort. It is looking good. Will post a picture this weekend...:)

I am starting to feel a sense of overwhelment with things to do, and with the whole major decision I have made. Just getting scared and unsure.

P.S. Budgeting sucks!!!
