34 weeks - Happy Thanksgiving

This has been such a productive past couple of weeks! My mom came in last week to help me paint the nursery, we had the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, Jared and I finished up the nursery, got Christmas decorations up, and today I have maternity photos! the nursery looks wonderful! Unfortunately the rest of my house is in need of a deep cleaning....

O'side Turkey Trot 2014 (although I think I should have called it the Gobble Waddle)

Anyways here's a couple pictures of the nursery!

I'm so happy with how it turned out! Not too shabby for being on a tight budget!

I think my favorite thing is the Bible verse above the crib. It took forever to make and hand paint all the letters, but I love it!

So far I have been feeling really good! One night I had some strong contractions, but I went to bed and they were gone when I woke up in the morning. Jared is leaving to the field soon, and once he gets home the baby could be here anytime! That's so crazy to think about! I still think he won't come until January 10th, but who knows!

34 Weeks

30 Weeks - Happy Halloween!

What a crazy past couple of weeks!!! I tested positive for gestational diabetes so I have met with dietitians about my new diet. No sweets, restricted carbs, restricted fruit, restricted protein, and all the vegetables I want. It's a bit tough, especially with all the holidays. On top of my rabbit food diet, I have to test my blood 4 times a day and log everything I eat. It's definitely not fun.

I can tell the baby is starting to run out of room, its pretty fun seeing a foot pushing out. But its not much fun when he decides to press into my ribs, that gets a bit uncomfortable.

For Halloween Jared and I dressed up like Bleeker and Juno! We had a good time handing out candy (even though I couldn't eat any of it....).
