25 and counting

Finally, I have some pregnancy pictures to put out here for all of you who have been asking to see what is going on with my body. I went to the doctor on Friday for the glucose testing and my monthly check up. My weight and belly growth are right on track. I will find out Monday about the glucose test results.....gestational diabetes would not be fun at all.

The baby is really active morning, noon and night - literally. There are times when Keith can watch the belly dance a bit. I am growing more and more curious about this little bundle growing inside of me. We know many people expecting around the same time as us - 7 couples actually. It's been fun chatting with all of them to see how things are going versus us.

No other real news around here. We are cleaning more and more each weekend. I have picked up the urge to bake which is new....love to cook but never really liked baking. I think it is the sweet tooth winning over. Still cooking - homemade pasta sauce yesterday and roast w/ veggies today but don't forget the cupcakes I made yesterday too :-)

Enjoy the new pics - oh, and I got a haircut on Saturday - going short again.

Long time, no blog

So, blogging isn't as easy to keep up with as I thought. I apologize for the absence. For awhile I was using the excuse that all the pictures are on our home computer and it is out of commission right now. But the reality is I am lazy.

Many things have happened since the last blog. We went to Chicago for a last sports hurrah and what a blast! How can you go wrong with two Cubs games and a Bears game. Not to mention quality time with friends!! After that weekend I needed some time at home doing nothing but trying to find my ankles again. A couple of trips to the doctor have gone by...my no weight gain has jumped a bit to about 12 pounds....again, pictures are on the other computer...this is my work laptop and I can't download them here. The 20 week ultrasound went well....baby is doing well and the sex is still a secret to everyone, including us.

I had a bit of a scare with a heart issue....a long story that some of you already know but ultimately the cardiologist thinks everything is fine and will continue to monitor me. We also had a nice trip to the emergency room for my darling husband's flag football injury....what was believed by all to be a broken leg turned out four hours later to be an ugly bruising of the bone, muscle, etc

Keith has been in Canada for work since Thursday and will be home on Friday. Missy and I are just hanging out (she mostly sleeps) together all week....I think she is mad because I don't play with her like he does. So, since Keith was gone and I didn't want to be here all weekend alone I went down to visit the Scheiners. Saturday I hung out with Jessica and Lauren - hard to believe she is 10 months old already but what a doll! Saturday night we did Ladies night with the neighborhood ladies....it's interesting to see how suburb women behave on a night out....it was similar to a Thursday night out in college....with martinis instead of beer but the shots were still flowing. I had dessert instead of the drinks :-)

I think that is about it to catch everyone up. I will put together an album of photos and figure out to post the link when Keith gets back. Next week I go for the sugar test so here's hoping that my cake obsession doesn't kick off gestational diabetes.

Hope all is well for everyone!
