28 weeks

I went in for a check up today and everything sounds good! I didn't get to see my midwife this month b.c my Dr's office is taking forever to get my records transferred over. It's a little irritating actually... its really irritating. I call them every 2-3 days and they still cant seem to get it done. I wonder why I want to change Dr's. If I was smart I would have had them make a copy while I was there. The front desk staff is just rude sometimes that I just wasn't in the mood today.

Dr. Guerra confirmed that my glucose test came back normal and I don't need extra iron. I expected my test came back ok since I never got a call. I still haven't had my belly measured and  I am not sure if my Dr will but I am kinda curious. I did weigh in today at 155 that's 31 pounds total gained.

So the closer I get to having this boy I just want to buy all these cute little clothes. I must say I have been really good about not buying stuff but today I fell off the wagon. After my appointment I went to Jcpenny with my mom. we were just browsing when I saw some really cute dinosaur stuff and I had to get it for my sis in law Rachel who is due 2 months after me! Of course I continued looking at all the cute baby clothes and found clearance jackpot! I got 8 pairs of shorts and 4 shirts for $20 bucks! I think its a super good deal. He may not be able to wear them until next summer but who cares. When stuff is 80% off I can resist!

Gifts!

At work yesterday one of our patients brought me a gift! Little white booties and a boo boo bunny. They are the most adorable things ever.It was so sweet of her to think of me and I am very thankful!

Boo Boo BunnyIt's hard to calm a child even when the pain is mild.

So When a bruise,bump or knot appears in almost any spot,

Boo Boo Bunny holds the ice in its pocket, Oh so nice!

Gently hold it on the place and see you child's smiling face.

Time flys...last week until my 3rd trimester

Last month ended crazy and this month has been just as crazy! I met with several Doulas and they were all wonderful, but I have decided not to use one. I may change my mind but as of now its just Blake and my mom helping me through labor. I have been reading like crazy and the Doulas I met with gave me tons of helpful information. I am feeling pretty confident in myself!

I know have my baby showers planned for next month! Blake's cousin Heather and sister Rachel are throwing me one September 11 and my mom and Cousin are throwing me one 2 weeks later. It looks like next month will be just as crazy! I have to admit it has been a little stressful figuring out what dates to have them and getting addresses and registering before the invitations go out. If Blake's sister wouldn't have stayed on me about that I don't think I would be registered yet. Thanks Rach!

Looking back at what I just typed and all I can think is why was it so stressful...I remember now. Work has been horrible these past three weeks. Our computers were down, and my boss is crazy. What more should I say!

So update on how I am doing...still feeling good. I have my good and bad days. I have recently learned over eating not an option anymore. Parker is getting so big and taking up so much room in my belly! He moves like crazy and its so fun to watch my belly bounce and shake around. Every time he moves I imagine a whale swimming in the ocean. My energy level has been ok, I am getting more tired now that it's 105 out but I still manage to drag myself to the gym in the morning before work at least 2-3 times a week. Some mornings I will just complain to Blake while getting dressed and when I say " Do I have to go" he replies "no". He cracks me up! At that point I just force myself to walk away from the bed or I am doomed!

My next doctors appt is next week stay posted!
