26, 27 weeks

I am now 27 weeks prego and I am glad things are going fast! Only about 13 weeks left! This pregnancy is different then my first! I have little things like getting sick really easy and hip pain that i did not have with Ashley. If I sit too long in a hard chair ( like at church I get bad hip pain and my legs go numb.) Weird so I have to watch when I am sitting not to sit to long. Other in those little things everything is going good. Little man is always moving and kicking like crazy. I have a doctors apt yesterday and while trying to listen to his heart beat his was kicking the moniter away the whole time. I guess he did not like it and no matter where she would put it he would kick it or move it away.

This picture was taken at 26 weeks ( last week). Not the best picture but now that I am in the last trimester I will continue to get bigger and bigger. Only 13 ish weeks and I am glad but still have lots of stuff to get done first so I guess I better get on it.

PS my shadow makes me look really big!

V-day

Since Ty works nights and goes to school durig the day we knew we would not be doing anything on  v-day. We decided to get Red Lobster to go on Saturday night and have a nice diner at home just us. We put ashley to bed a little early and have a nice diner. We were going to go out but plans did not work out so we decided home was just as nice. Tyler got me some chocolate and flowers on monday for a early gift. Ashley also got her v-day gift early. She got a slide treehouse for the backyard. She loved it and spent most of the afternoon on it saturday. She also got a ballon and chocolates from her daddy. My wonderful mom surprised me and sent Ashley and I a gift for v-day also. She sent flowers and a teddy bear and I don't know which one ashley loved more. She would hold the teddy bear and have both the teddy bear and herself smell the flowers and talk to them.

Tests

While being pregnant you seem to go thru a lot of tests; blood tests, ultrasounds, and of course glucose tolerance test! I hate and do not look forward to the glucose tolerance test! For those who read this and don't know what that is I will explain. It is a test where you go to the doctor or lab office and have to drink a pop of glucose. It does not taste to bad a lot like orange soda that has a funny after taste with too much sugar in it. So drinking it is not bad. After staying in the office for 1 hour you will get your blood drawn. This test tells the doctors if you have diabieties during pregnancy. If you fail this test you go back and have to do it over and stay and have your blood drawn once a hour for 3 hours.

So with Ashley I got sick and felt like I was going to pass out. Really dizzy and did not feel good at all. After a while it went away. Well with this baby I get sick really really easy so I was worried about what the reaction would be. I drank my drink and sat to read a book and wait my hour for my blood to be drawn. 2 mins before the test was over and I was going to be able to have my blood drawn I got sick. Running to find a bathroom before I thrown up all over the office floor only making it to a trash can. The office said it happens a lot with this test which I don't know if they were trying to make me feel better or if it really does. Well since my time was up anyways they went ahead and go my blood drawn and I was able to go home. If this had happened 10 or 15 mins before my time was up I was going to have to do the test all over again from the begining so I am thankful they were able to draw the blood.  I do have a fear of having to do the 3 hour test though. If I can't make it a hour how in the world do I make it 3 hours? I guess we will see what the results will be pray it comes out ok! I am glad it is over for now!

Just like daddy

As I was in our bathroom getting ready for church yesterday I turned around to find Tyler reading a book and of course Ashley wanted to read a book also. She had gotten one of Tyler's books off the shelf and pretended she was reading also. Could not help but grab a camera to take a picture! Tyler is a great example of reading ( I am not a big reader.) She loves her daddy.
