Rain, Rain go away!

It is raining here today and really gray out. But that is okay as I am having a great day already and will be off to Seattle on Wednesday morning!!

This is my niece Baylee...she is my brother Tony's daughter and I am very excited to see her when I get to Seattle. She becomes my shadow when I am in town and I just can't get enough of her 6 year old personality and her big heart! I miss her so much and wish I was nearby so she could be close to her newly arriving cousin! We will just have to make many cross-country visits for now.

I had my 4 week check-up this morning which included the usual weigh in, blood pressure reading, and belly measurement. All 3 were great today!! I didn't gain any weight since my last visit which puts me at a total gain of 3 pounds in the last 23 weeks!! This makes me very happy as it will be that much easier during delivery and after!! So the next visit I have will be on Sept. 10th and I will take the glucose test to see if I have gestational diabetes...this is a standard test that everyone takes around the beginning of their 3rd trimester. I have to drink some yucky stuff and they pull some blood.

Feeling really great with lots of energy, compared to the previous weeks, and enjoying being pregnant. Sleep has become a challenge...getting comfy in between trips to the bathroom...and Baby Dav kicking at all hours of the night have made things difficult to say the least. I guess it is just preparing me for the sleepless nights to come!!

I will blog from Seattle starting on Wednesday...
