I received such a great box in the mail today! Big sissy Jen sent a box full of goodies for us for the baby!! ( I know shes been putting one together for Elizabeth too! :) ) She sent alot of Alex's newborn and 0-3 mo size clothes for us to use.. and did I say ALOT! I am really grateful and excited! And the pic above shows an adorable new outfit she sent for the baby- with a hedgehog design on the overalls, matching beenie and onesie and socks by Janie and Jack.. and her Boppy that she never used.. along with alot of other misc things for me.. incl a few cute maternity tops..
It was a great surprise and super cool to have the stuff for our baby.. thanks Aunt Jen..
Oh yeah and theres a couple presents for Buck and I but he isnt home yet.. so I havent opened them!

25 Week OB Appointment!

Well the appt went really well! My blood pressure was registering 119/78.

And I talked the doctor into doing an ultrasound for me! My cervical length is all good and closed as it should be, plenty of fluid around the baby, and the baby is measuring on the 65th percentile and weighs 1lb 15 oz. They said my estimated due date is more likely around 10/13 rather than 10/22.

I also had my 1 hr glucose tolerance test and I passed, barely , but I still passed. I had it with Tanner so I was pretty sure I would have it this time too.. but its still early so I really should watch the sugar more closely regardless.

I was worried because the blood draw is supposed to be taken 1hr, and the lab tech could not get my blood drawn- she dug and dug (ouch!) and finally got it 20 minutes after she should have so I hope it didnt affect the results, it was 132...

But the baby looks sooo cute in his picture , looks alot like Tanner to me!! I am relieved it went so well and very happy too!

24.5 Weeks and Fourth of July...

Well I am now 6 months along.. will be 25 weeks on Wednesday... this is the most current photograph. The baby's movements are now visible from the outside alot and they are getting stronger and stronger.. he is very active.

We went to our Sunriver house for the Fourth of July it was fun to be home... visited with my parents and went to the Frontier Days festival and then we got a bunch of fireworks and Bucky and Tanner proceeded to put on quite a show with a real big finale... it was a lot of fun!

I have my next appt Wednesday for a regular OB appt and then I go to the lab for the fun gestational diabetes test ( I am sooo looking forward to this one!!) I am getting excited for our trip to California and I finally will be getting to meet my little nephew Alex! Its a busy week but will be worth it when we are off to California next week!
