Flunked my Glucose Test:(

So I guess the Chick-Fil-A I had for dinner and the huge bowl of ice cream I ate before bed were a good idea the night before my glucose test. I flunked!!! So bummed that I will have to do the 3 hour test. I also found out the taking iron at the same time you take your prenatal vitamin is a bad idea b/c your body can't take that much iron at one time so flushes it out. Wish someone would have mentioned that since I have been taking those pills together for quite some time now. The nurse said I have to take one at breakfast & the other at lunch b/c my iron is really low.

Connelly is sick:( I think just a cold, but luckily Jeremy's mom is coming to save the day once again so we don't have to take sick days.

Otherwise I am feeling good. Still have ECP like crazy, but whatev.

Have a great night!

Hanging In There

I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable. Yesterday I wore a dress that made me look 8 months pregnant (only 5 1/2 actually) and everyone told me how huge I looked all day. I know the weight is only in my tummy, but still, I started questioning myself as to if there were 2 in there even though I know there is just one. I think I may have done a little too much this weekend and am REALLY sore today. I pee about 3-5 times a night, which is pretty annoying for me and Jeremy.

Easter was great, Connelly has such a blast and it was so fun to see her so excited for everything and able to play outside. I can't believe how fast she is growing up, she is really my everything:)

U/s went well about 1-1/2 weeks ago. I attached a couple pics. Still don't know what we are having. I scheduled my 3d/4d u/s for the end of April & I am looking forward to that. Doc said Bean was 1lb 3oz (I think, can't really remember), but in the 44% percentile. So we'll see if I have another huge baby or not. He said we might take another look towards the end, which I am going to strongly push for!!!

Still loving being pregnant & so excited for June to get here. I am so glad I passed the 24 week milestone, now I looking forward to getting past 30 weeks. We still are procrastinating most decisions, as far as where to put baby, girl names, and pretty much everything else. When you don't find out the sex and it is your 2nd, you really allow yourself to push everything to the side. I am sure this is going to come around and bite me in the butt eventually, but for now I am trying to relax.

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Have a great week!

Recent Pic of Connelly

I hadn't shared any pics lately, so I thought I would share this cute one of Connelly. She is getting so big. I can't believe the joy she brings to me every day.

Enjoy!

Life

Well, I was getting ready to post this morning about having a great day yesterday. Last night Jeremy was able to feel Bean for the first time & my sister called and told me she was pregnant. They have been trying for almost 5 years, and after 1 miscarriage & 2 IUIs, they are pregnant. She has already had 2 betas & her numbers are doubling, so that is good. Now we just have to hold our breath until March 29th when she will go in to hear the heartbeat. I am praying so hard that this baby sticks for them. My grandma, aunt & uncle were supposed to be coming in town this weekend, so we were looking forward to seeing them, but then I got an email today from my mom saying the trip has been canceled due to my other aunt's health. I know I have talked about this other aunt before, she has breast cancer, and has fought it at least 3 times. She has been doing okay, so I thought, but I guess recently she was having trouble writing and keeping balance. She went in & they have now found a brain tumor. I am so scared for her. I just can't imagine fighting for your life that many times and the emotional & physical stress that must wear on her & her family. Please say a prayer for her today!

As far as I go, I am doing well. Feeling my jumping bean more & more daily & he/she is getting stronger. I feel so blessed to have this baby inside me & can not wait to meet him/her in July. I am just so excited to be able to hold this little baby, and I just pray it all works out that way!!! Right now I am just trying to make it to the 24 week milestone. After that, I think I will be waiting for the 30 week milestone, and then I might start to relax a little bit more.

I hope you are all having a good week. Thank god it is Friday & have a good weekend!!!

ECP!!!

Well, not even 5 months in and the EVIL CROTCH PAIN is here:( I haven't even been walking around too much today, but it is NO fun!!! I think I am starting to get sick too:( Today I have a headache & my throat is starting to hurt, so I am REALLY hoping that by tomorrow I will feel better. Jeremy works late tonight, which always seems to happen on the nights that I don't feel good. I am really ready for the day to be over and for me to be sitting on my couch eating dinner & hanging out w/ Connelly!!!

Hope everyone else's days are going better than mine.

Oh, but on a positive note, I am now feeling the baby daily. It started last Wednesday, so that has made me happy, however, I haven't really felt the baby much today, so hopefully tonight bean is much more active!

Growing:)

Hey there, well I am still here & growing. I am definitely bigger at this point than I was w/ Connelly. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said everything looks good. We have our u/s on March 26th, but we are still not finding out:( I am still excited to see the babe though. I have been feeling bean a lot more, but I still wouldn't say everyday at this point. Sunday the baby completely turned around and that was kind of uncomfortable, but other than that the feelings have been very small. I did feel like I felt bean quite a bit yesterday though, so I am hoping for another day like that today. We bought a truck this week. Jeremy's car broke down quite a while ago & we have been borrowing cars since, so it is so nice to have one again. It is going to be hard w/ the payments (other car was paid off), but we'll have to make it work. We started the Dave Ramsey class last week, so I am hoping that we are able to buckle down on our finances and really get things in order! Connelly is doing great, getting bigger & more intelligent each day. I just smile thinking about her, b/c it is crazy how much you love your lil' ones!!!

Well, hope everyone is having a good week!

Things still going well

I haven't had bleeding for a little over a week now & we even did "it" last night:) I know Jeremy was REALLY ready and actually so did I. It was so nice to be intimate again w/ my hubby:) We decided that if I don't bleed in the next couple days we'll try again. So we'll see. I'm not feeling the babe every day like I was w/ Connelly at this point. I am only a couple days past that point, but I am still a little disappointed, I really want to be able to feel the baby every day to help reassure me that everything is okay. Even w/ the doppler, you still worry. I just read someone's blog today that miscarried at 16 weeks, I just am so nervous, that it could happen to me. I really hope not though, I so want to bring this baby home in July:) It is funny that time has gone by faster. W/ Connelly is counted down the minutes between doctor's appointments, and this time I keep forgetting that I actually go back next week. I almost want to push it back one more week and then ask for the u/s then, rather than going back next week & not getting an u/s for 3 more weeks after that. We'll see. It is also weird b/c I was counting down the seconds until we found out the sex w/ Connelly & it is hard to believe that I am only a few weeks away from when we did that w/ her. I guess since we aren't finding out, that doctor's appt. isn't as appealing, but I am still VERY anxious to see our lil' bean:)

Okay, well back to American Idol, hope you all are doing well:)
