My day with baby Joel went well yesterday, except for he is sick so he just really wasn't feeling well. poor little guy. I am so loving taking care of him on Thursdays.
Had an OB appointment yesterday. My glucose screening test - I passed with flying colors!!!!!! YAY! And i am not anemic. My blood pressure, urine, belly measurements and baby heartbeat all good. I lost a pound, but I don't think they were worried about it. i think last time i was dressed for winter and this time for summer. my Uggs alone probably weighed 2 pounds last time. i also had the FNN test (to see if i am producing labor hormone) and I'm not. Great appointment. One nurse that I had never seen before was very surprised to see me prego with a newborn and asked how I accomplished that one. Funny!
We had our childbirth class last night. The topic was L&D. let me just say stressful. Hearing all that stuff got me really scared and feeling like I won't be able to get through it all. I have this plan of how I want it to go, but there are so many things that are out of my control, things that could happen, things I can't plan for. I just need to let God take the driver's seat and I need to move on over to the passenger side or maybe the back seat or even the trunk! Any way, after that class i came home being very poopy and not in a good mood at all, but lots of talking and praying has helped and today is a new, much better day. i will get through this and God will be with me. It is not going to be easy (hence word labor), but I am not alone. It won't be easy for our little baby either. Or Sean. Stupid Eve for eating that dang apple!!!!! ;) So, while i can say all day i want a drug-free, vaginal delivery, we can take our birth plan with our pages of instructions to the hospital, I just have to remember to have an open mind, let go and just let it happen.

New Schedule - having an actual quitting time!
Everything went well with the glucose screening test. Well, i don't have the results yet, but it wasn't that bad. besides getting lost and going over the Belleair Cswy. The wait was long and i was an hour late for work, but ohs wells. the orange concoction was not bad at all. i just don't like slamming things so that part made me a little nauseous and indigestion - like. I will get the results tomorrow at our OB appointment. Please pray for me!
Well, we think we felt hiccups for the first time last night. We are either feeloing hiccups, heartbeat or either or both. Baby is so active. We love it!
My work schedule changed and i am loving it. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays i will now go in at 8 every morning and Fridays at 9. Still have Thursday off. The great thing about it is now I have a set time when i can leave since i am going in earlier now. I can leave at 5:30 everyday, which is so much better than not leaving until 8:30 p.m. some nights. it will be awesome to know the time and have some more evening time at home with the hubby. And now my Saturdays are scheduled with Sean's, so the ones he works (every other) now I work and then the other 2 we have poff together. God has blessed us! it will be a wonderful new schedule until it changes again when baby comes.
Happy Wednesday!

Is the orange drink that yucky, Becca?
Really not too much to say. We have had a pretty relaxing and fun weekend. I was supposed to work this past Saturday, but switched and am working next Saturday so I get this one off with the hubby and then we both work the next one. Friday we got pizza and watched a movie. Yesterday after our usual chores, errands, etc., we went to the mall and walked around for a couple of hours. I tried on one of those belly support things to see if it would help my back, it didn't. I contemplated buying a Boppy full body pillow, but didn't. Sitting in the massage chairs at Brookstone made my back feel 100% better though, so I'm thinking that's what I need!!!! :O) Today was again our usual. We went to Bible study. We were then in the nursery, but no babies came so we did homework instead. Then back for our financial class, that is altogether stressful, exciting, exhausting and soon to be rewarding, especially when we are rich! hee hee! :o)
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but we think maybe we could feel baby's heartbeat. Maybe it was something else. I also read that you can feel and see baby hiccups. I want to experience that!!! Tomorrow is my glucose screening test so I am on a no carb or sweets diet this evening and tomorrow morning. It doesn't sound like much, but it is when you go to church and there are like a million yummy desserts laid out! Weeks 28-32 are extreme baby movement times and already this week I have felt the most. I love it and can't get enough of it. :O)
Well, a new work week is about to start. I'm going to get ready for bed and cuddle with my hubby! Nite.

It's Friday - yay!
i first want to say thanks for all the anniversary cards and well wishes. We really appreciate that! it is a very special day for us and we are happy that we get to share in that with friends and family.
I am officially in the 3rd trimester now as of yesterday. i am 28 weeks. All is going well. I have had some pretty bad back pain, but other than that I have been feeling good.
yesterday started my first day of baby sitting 8-week-old baby Joel for our friends, which i will be doing every Thursday. We had a lot of fun! It is such a sweetheart. i am already learning lots, what to do and not do, what things i will definitely want to purchase and what things won't be of much use. i also got to observe Allie. She is such a mama dog and protector. it was very sweet and i feel we will have nothing to worry about with her, as long as we are still always cautious. I had a work meeting to go to yesterday and brought Joel. he was a little fussy, but i better get used to things like that. Figuring out car seats and swings and baby gear was also a learning lesson. he got to test drive our crib and changing table.
We started our 6 week free pregnancy and childbirth classes last night. It went really well, we enjoyed it, love our teacher, love that its faith based and know we will learn a lot. i am the most prego one there!
Well, that's about it. Oh yah, we are really enjoying our financial class on Sundays and have learned so much. We already have our 1000 emergency fund and are starting to work on our 3-6 months of job income. We have about 5,000 for that, but need to grow it to about 11,000. Baby steps. we did get a 1200 check from paying too much on our mortgage, so that was a nice surprise and gift from God.
Work has been pretty difficult this week, but i don't think I feel like talking about it. I just need prayer!
