What I See When I Look Down...


This pregnancy is really starting to fly by and I am so far behind as compared to when Ava was born. By this time we were completely ready for her (with a few small exceptions). This one has really snuck up on us and we still have things to do (although Bradley disagrees and says we don't have much to do). I feel like there are a million things on my to do list. Here is how pregnancy is treating me right now:
  • I am SOOOOOOOO relieved to have passed my gestational diabetes test! Words can't explain.
  • I feel so tired almost all the time. By 7 at night I am absolutely zapped. Not much left in me.
  • I am having a hard time sleeping. I toss and turn, and have to go to the bathroom 3 - 4 times a night.
  • So far I have not experienced any swelling or rise in blood pressure (KNOCK ON WOOD!) which I was already experiencing at this point with Ava. I am so thankful to this cooler weather we have been having because I am sure that it helps.
  • We got the good news that we don't have to go to childbirth classes even though we will be at a different hospital, which makes me thrilled (and of course Bradley was happy too!).
  • I go back to the doctor in about 2 and a half weeks and then I will start going every two weeks.
  • This little guy moves a lot lower than Ava did. She rested high in my ribs and he hangs around pretty low. He is a big kicker like she was, especially at night and when I am resting.
  • My stretch marks are now getting stretch marks!
  • I am just hoping the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly with no complications!

I passed!


Yay! I passed my fasting gestational diabetes test! I am so relieved and happy to hear that I don't have to worry about that anymore. I'm not saying that I am going to eat a 5 pound bag of sugar, but it is such a relief knowing that I won't have to go to the extra worry for the remainder of my pregnancy! Such a relief to hear those words, "You passed." Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers!

10 on Tuesday - 10 Questions with Ava




Thought it would be fun to do a little interview with Ava to see what she said her favorite things are. I think for most of these she just picked the first things that popped into her mind, but I wrote them down because I found it humorous. She also answered each one so quickly that it made me laugh like she had been rehearsing! So here are 10 questions with Ava at the age of three.
