Check out how cute this baby is!! I can't even stand it! Kara and I have decided that spoiling our nieces is going to be the most fun ever! Cause spoiling your own kid makes you feel a little guilty, but when you can spoil someone Else's....well, there's nothing wrong with that!!!
27 weeks and all is well!! I'm officially in the 3rd trimester! Yikes, it's really going so fast!! I had my glucose test yesterday. Should have the results in about a week or so. For those of you who don't know, this is the test for gestational diabetes. So keep your fingers crossed for me! I don't think I could survive the last couple months without chocolate!!
So, hunting season is just around the corner. Jena told me I wouldn't be able to go because the sound of the shot would be bad for the baby. So of course I had to ask the Dr! I asked if I would be able to go hunting this year. "Hunting for what?!" "Deer!" to which he shook his head and said "I get all the weird questions!" He said he wasn't really concerned with the sound of the shot, but more that I could fall out of a tree, or step in a hole or something. I tried to tell him I wouldn't be climbing any trees, but he wasn't convinced. "Just skip it this year." What a bummer!! Looks like its up to Brett to fill up the freezer!! Between the both of us, through bow and rifle season, we have 8 tags to fill up!! Which also means that I basically won't see Brett for the next 2 months!
Christmas is right around the corner too. I'm nervous cause I do all my shopping and wrapping on Black Friday. So I just hope I'm able to do all the required walking around! I'm thinking I'll be making a few extra trips this year! Sigh.
Anyway, that's all that's new at our house!
Love you!

Hi! Well, we're officially in week 25! I was reminded by my Dr, yesterday, that there are only 15 weeks to go! WHOA!! Put on the breaks!! Seriously?! This is going so fast! 15 weeks till our due date, and we have to fit Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years into that time!! It totally blows my mind!

So anyway, my Drs appt went well yesterday, I guess. Everything still looks wonderful with the baby. The heart rate was around 140 and the new Dr said we might be able to get another ultra-sound in a couple of weeks. That would be so cool!! Yeah, I met the new Dr yesterday. She's very nice, but she didn't seem to want to hang out answering questions. The other 2 Drs in the practice act like they'd stay in the room with you forever answering questions. Yesterday, I was still trying to ask things as she was walking out the door. Fabulous. Anyway, they've moved my appointments to every 2 weeks, and I see Dr. Zedek next time so I'll ask him my questions. My next appt is October 14th and I'm getting my glucose screening test. I've already put the drink in the fridge, Kara says its not terrible tasting but I'll definitely want it cold!

In other news, we've finally moved back into the house! What an amazing relief! We still have some cleaning up to do, but I can actually sit on the couch to watch TV and we can eat dinner at a table! The floors look amazing, and really make the whole house feel cozy and warm.

Also, I was on the radio this morning! Pitching Pilates for Pink, a program through Shape Magazine that me and the gym have joined up with to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I'm really excited about it this year. We raised almost $250 last year and I really want to do better than that.

Well, that's all that's really new! I hope to talk to you all very very soon!!
Love you all!
