Doctors appointment

I met with the doctor today and got a great report! He measured me and I was 25cm, which I am 24 weeks, so he said I was right on track. I got to hear Hailey's heart beat and it was beating so fast! I had to take my gluclose test today, and should get the results back in the next 2 days or so. It wasn't as bad as I had heard, but it was pretty sweet.. it tasted just like an energy drink, which I don't really like. I have gained 2 pounds since my last appoitment (4 weeks ago)so I am proud of myself for staying on track with that as well :)This was the first appointment that Dustin did not go to with me, and I have to admit that it was sort of weird. We have been very blessed that he can go to all of my appointments, but he is feeling under the weather (funny term for today with the rain!!) so he stayed at home to try and fight that off.

I have been feeling great for the most part and thank God for giving me a good pregnancy so far. My back has started hurting a lot lately, but that is part of the deal. My next appointment is in 4 weeks and we are trying to decide whether or not to go ahead with the 3D ultrasound. They are so cool and amazing, but it is at an extra cost, and we are just not sure if that is where we want to spend the money. I did find out today that I won't have any more ultrasounds unless there are complications, so that makes me want to have it even more to see her one last time before we actually get to hold her! We will figure it all out though. Please continue to keep us in your prayers :)

Valentine's Day

We decided to chill for V-day this year. We slept in, ate lunch, scapbooked, updated the site, and watched movies. We managed not to leave the house one time on Saturday! It was true relaxation...


Dustin decided to surprise me with all 6 seasons of Sex in the City and made me do a scavenger hunt to find them! That was very creative and fun. He showed me up again.. We had a great dinner that we cooked together and ate way too much with an appetizer, main meal, and a big dessert just like in the restaurant!


Our dogs enjoyed Valentine's as well with Frosty Paws dog ice cream. They licked their bowls dry.


Dozi even decided that the ice cream wasn't enough and she needed to lick the camera!

6 months and counting!

I have reached the 6 month (24 weeks) mark in my pregnancy. I have officially started to "show". It was like I woke up on Valentine's, and bam, there she was!! I am excited to finally be showing off my prego bump :) Dustin is excited too and doesn't mind repeatedly telling me "you have a belly now"! I have still been wearing some of my regular jeans and doing the ole hair tie trick, but it is starting to get more difficult to do. I do have to admit that I get tired of wearing all the same clothes all the time. I have not invested in too many 'cold' maternity clothes since it won't be long before it is warmer outside.

I go for a check up tomorrow and they are running my gluclose test. It is the first appointment that Dustin will not be able to make, but it could take up to 3 hours depending on how the test goes, so I don't want him just sitting there waiting. This will give me a chance to catch up on the three books that I am reading! I will try and log on and give an update as to how it went :o)
