         Hey girlies! I know I haven't been on or talked to any of you, so I'm sorry! I think about you all and hope you all are doing well! I'm just busy busy with the puppy and baby and life!

          Things are going great here! I just had my 28 week appt. Lost 2 pounds, which is fine! Everybody freaks out when I say that. I ate tons and everything looked good, I guess I just ate a little more healthy! So at 28 weeks i've gained 16 pounds total. Thats really from 12 weeks because I lost about 4 from 8 weeks to 12 weeks. They just don't count it I guess! I drank the gluclose. . . Not so yucky, just flat and sugary! It sure got baby kicken though! Then his heart rate was up to like 145, he was excited from the sugar! 

          Doc says my belly was measuring great and everything looked great. I had some protien in my urine again. The nurse finally informed me that in the morning appt. they see that a lot because we don't drink enough water in the morning. . . Which makes tons of sense because my ass doesn't wake up hours before my 945 appt, sorry! : )

         I still don't see much of a belly! Still wearing my jeans and shirts. Fine by me! I'm not looking so forward to having even less to wear!

         Brooke, a good friend, got married on the 31st. She is preggo, probably 19 weeks or so, the dress was super pretty and hid the belly good! It was a pretty little open house! Melonie has her baby shower on Sat, I probably won't go, just because I don't think I'll know anybody! I did get her the diaper bag off of her registery though! So hopfully she likes that. . .

       Not much else going on. . . I need to find a dresser and orgainize all of the clothes that I have for little boy! Then get things going that way, but I still have at least 2 months, hopefully! So the nursery is going to stay at 30%, but I'm kicking the healthy baby up to 70% yay us!

         Alright Yo's. . . Sorry I've been so increadibly lazy, but I'm busy! : ) Lots of nothing going on. I'm working a lot and taking care of my new puppy, she is so stinken cute! I love her! She's a little bit of a handleful right now.

          I posted pictures, check them out! I've got my belly pictures and new baby pictures. Lots of pictures!

          I'm updating both goals! I've made it to 65% percent. I'm 6 (full) months next week and start my third trimester next week, so I'm not sure why only 65%. . . None of the prego math EVER adds up! I'll be 75% at 30 weeks. So okay! The nursery gets updating because I feel like I've got so much, even tho I don't have much. My dad gave a family friend 60 bucks for so much stuff! Like 2 boxes of clothes, a swing, a carseat, a playmat. Just tons of stuff! So I feel more prepared. I guess all I really need is some basics, some essentials, a dresser, find the crib(it will be a gift from grandparents) and just get it all together. I feel prepared. I'm sure I'll get tons of stuff I don't need at the showers, but thats okay!

       I have a friend due a month before me (mid july) and she is already having her baby shower this sat. That seems SO early to me! Thats almost 9 weeks early, two full months early! I haven't even thought about. Well I have a little bit, I'll have three. One in Tyler's hometown, one in my hometown, and one here for work friends etc. . . I was thinking have them in July. Thats a month early. I dunno! What do Ya'll think? I guess it doesn't matter at all!

 Love ya lots!

So sorry again that I've been lazy! I hope you're all doing well!

24 Weeks

        Yay us. We made it to 24 weeks, well 24 weeks and a couple of days! I've been busy! That means that next week I've only got 15 weeks left and I will meet my little man!

         Kristi had Carter Bradford on May 3rd, two days before the induction date! : ) Figures that would get the little guy here! He is stinken cute! I'll post pictures sometime, I'm sure!

         There isn't a lot going on. . . Kind of a quiet boring little life right now! We went to montpelier this weekend, which was really nice! I love getting out of pocy to go see my families! Didn't do too much, just went on a few drives and watched a couple of movies. Kylie is getting big! She is 3 months now. Time flies huh! Made me think that they really are only little for a little while!

           So I was laying in bed last night with my hand on my belly and he booted me right in the palm! He's getting strong! I've been drinking tons of water, like 2-3 44 ounce things a day! Well all weekend, but then I had a soda at the movies last night, he moved so much! I still can't wait until he gets bigger and stronger.

          He is sitting so low right now! KIll me! It feels like he is almost in my thighs. I didn't understand the waddle until the past couple of days. I've decided it has nothing to do with how big you are (I'm still small!) its all about the fat that the baby is sitting on your pubic bone and you can't move from the hips! Haha!

           Oh the joys!

           I still don't have anything! Some clothes that I've gotten from a friend and from Tyler's mom. I actually have a ton of clothes. My mom got a bunch of them from the friend, I haven't seen them yet, but she says I won't need ANY 0-3's! So now I have to convince tyler's mom to quit buying clothes and buy me some diapers or something! : ) I'm so excited for like July to show up and I can have some baby showers and get things going! That means I need to make it through May and June! Haha!

             Well I'm getting booted in the belly, he's hungry! I'm going to go find something to munch on!

             Love Ya'll!
