Basically what that means is that there is more to come! I would love to post more, but I don't have the A/C on up here and I think I am about to have a heat stroke...

Now About the Belly


I am still gestating so let me update that too. I am 32 ish weeks and very hot. Not HAWT, just hot, as in Texas in the summer and it is 400 degrees everyday kind of hot. Overall I still feel really great and this pregnancy is just flying by. I am trying to walk a mile each morning to help avoid any bad stuff and so far that seems to be working. Except for a few leg cramps here and there it has been very smooth sailing....and when I can remember to take those dang prenatal pills I don't even have to worry about the leg cramps. My midwife-recommended prenatals need to be taken SIX times a day though so remembering really is a bit of strain on my brain.

At my last prenatal I had gained 21 lbs, baby's heartbeat was in the 140's and 150's and I was measuring exactly on target. My blood pressure was almost non-existant. Now I just want to make sure I make it to 36 weeks so I can have the homebirth. I started gathering my supplies because I am just so dadgum excited about my labor! Seriously, most people seem to dread labor...I just can't wait.... most of the time anyway. Though I am not anxious for it to happen any time soon as I am still loving being preggo too much to actually "ruin" things by having a baby!

Belly shot is me at 30ish weeks.

Quick Catch Up

I guess June was a busy month since I only managed to post once. So let me recap! We went to Disney World for a week, hung out with friends while there. Flew to Atlanta for a week to see my cousin and enjoyed seeing the teen drama that seems to be a part of having a teen in the household and also had a surprise visit from my brother and his fam. We all went to VBS at our church where I learned not much about God but more about crocodiles than I ever wanted to know. The whole family flew out to Virginia and then drove to the Chesapeake Bay for a long weekend at my family's river house and had a blast boating, crabbing, and getting cancer, I mean a tan. In the process we got stuck in multiple airports, had a lot of really good food (not at the airports though), I taught several childbirth classes, I took a childbirth course myself, the nursery cleaning was started and lots of family fun was had all around. Whew. Then came the 4th of July activities which included mostly a lot of sweat but good times as well and the requisite backyard cookout.

I can't even begin to post pics of everything but a few are at the top.
