sorry for the missed weekly shots of my belly

i have not been taking pictures of my belly lately. i have missed quit a few weeks now. i have been extremely busy really not even home much. and we are in the process of purchasing a new camera. mine is good but i dropped it on the concrete so now the screen is half blank. i was really mad, but that is what i get for being clumsy. so if any one has any ideas on a good digital camera let me know.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES TEST

On August 18 i went to the Dr. just a routine check up which went great. I am measuring where i am suposed to be and so is the baby. Her heart beat is amazing which is always good to hear every time i go in. Dr. Gaqthrum asked me if i had any questions, and i said yes! every women wants to know how much they have gained right? you get on the scale and see the numbers going up each time. i said so i have a stupid question how much have i gained? i am gaining to much not enough? He looked at me and giggled, and said you have gained 14 pounds!!! i was in shock i am not used to seeing those numbers hehehe. he said you are right were you are suposed to be. wheew i thought. that is good... i dont want to be gaining to much. guess i am doing every thing i am suposed to be doing. yea for me.... so after my dr. app i had to do the dread ful long awaited gestational diabetes test. i was really nervous since i have hypoglycemia and that my mom had D.G. so i was scared. I went to the lab and they gave me this bottle of orange looking juice, she told me that they usually give you 5 min. to drink it but she would give me 10. good thing.. so started to drink it. it was not bad but it tasted like that orange cough syrup i used to take when i was a kid. it was hard to get it down, just cuz it is so sugary tasting. finally i got it down and then iu had to sit there for an hour, good thing cole was there i was bored and he was getting antsy. finally they call us back to do my blood work. i hate needles so it has been hard for me to get pricked so many times these past 6 months. but i survived. it took the nurse awhile cuz my veins were small(probably not getting enough fluids she tells me) she says k your done if your levels are high or your dr. is concerned he will give you a call in the next couple days. the days wnet by and i kept praying that they would not call me. And to my surprise they didnt... Yea what a celebration. i was thrilled. that means my sugar levels are good, and there is no concern for G.D. what a relief. i was so happy. not only am i healthy so far but i dont have to change my diet. i can still eat my rocky road ice cream!

Oaklee's new crib

Cole and I put up oaklee's crib. i couldnt wait. we have had it for several months now but couldnt put it up till the painting was done. all we need now is to put a few decorations on the walls and then buy her a dresser. then her room will be complete and waiting for her to be in it.

Oaklee's room

Busy Busy Busy

This past week has been so busy for me and i cant wait till i can get a weekend of relaxation.. Friday my mother and law took us girls to the big SLC to George straight concert. it was clear out in west valley, i was driving and we had only 4.9 miles to go to get to our destination. when all of a sudden there were cars every where. the traffic was so backed up from a stupid light, it took us 1 1/2 hours to go the 4.9 miles. i was so mad cuz we were late.....:( this light would only allow 2 cars to go through at a time and when you got through the light, the people turning to go the same direction were not yeilding the right of way so it was way backed up, we were almost in a few fender benders because of those rude people. But we made it safe and sound. When we go there the opening singers had already started and i was bummed because the first opener was Julianne Hough. We missed her and got there for the second which is one of my fav. Blake shelton. then george... it was a fun and awesome concert. we had fun. then the next day we went shopping and took most the day, we then drove home as quick as we could cuz me and cole had to go straight back to slc, cuz on sunday was cory's fairwell talk. we finally made it home sunday night at 8:00 and had enough time to do some laundry and go to bed. but it was a fun week end. but i am glad it is over so i can get some rest. it was being able to spend time with the mother and sisterinlaws and also spending time with family up north, cant wait to see them again. and thus for our adventures they begin again this weekend for a big family camping trip. i am thrilled but hope is also kind of relaxing.........
