Starting Over...

I'm making a fresh new start. I was reading through my other blogs and I just felt like way to many of them were negative. I'm not a negative person and I don't want my blogs to be negative!! So here is to a fresh new positive start.

I had another OB appointment on Wednesday June 10th. I didn't get to see my new OB doctor because he was booked and because I wanted to go out of town to visit family and I was trying to get in sooner, I just took who I could get in with. I saw a really nice nurse practitioner and she checked to see how my little man was doing. Of course... he's perfect. His heart rate was about 150 beats per minute. He wasn't as squirmy as my last appointment where it took the nurse 10 min to get his heart beat because he kept kicking the Doppler. He actually cooperated this time. I've only gained 6 pounds according to the nurse. I lost a few ounces since my last OB appointment, but she said there is nothing to worry about. I'm gaining weight at a nice healthy speed and I'm not over doing it. According to my chart, the doctors only want me to gain between 11-20 pounds this pregnancy. I have to admit I did start out this pregnancy over weight and because of that they said there is no need for me to gain a ton more. Thankfully!!

Every Monday marks a new pregnancy week for me thanks to when my due date is. This coming Monday starts my 26th week of pregnancy. This means I get to go in for yet another glucose test. I'm not looking forward to that since I had such a bad reaction to the test last time. I got really sick and passed out in my car and had to be rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Some how I made the drive home, but never actually made it out of the car. When Matt got home from work he freaked out of course seeing me passed out in the car. That wasn't a fun day for me and that will not be the case this time. My doctor and I have a plan to make sure I don't get sick again. I have the paper work for my orders and again it's only the 1 hour test and thankfully not that 4 hour test.

I'm excited to be going to see family in Wisconsin on June 23rd. I'm going to Moses Lake on the 19th to drop the dog off at my in-laws house. Well, hopefully they will watch her for me. She does pretty good at their house and is always very well behaved. I don't see it being a problem, but I'm still going to ask. I don't have anyone else that can watch her so hopefully they will say yes. I haven't seen my family in Wisconsin since December of 2003 when my uncle got married. They are going to get to see me in all my pregnant glory!! I'm driving down to Moses Lake on the 19th and coming back with my parents on the 20th. Then we fly out of Sea Tac on the 23rd. It's going to be a fun two week trip seeing family. Lucky for them they will get to see me in all my pregnant glory!! Haha

It will be nice having my parents see my new house. They will like it. It's in a nice little community. It's mostly military people that live here, but it's not all military people. There are tons of kids that run around all day everyday and they are loud, but they're kids. They really don't cause a lot of trouble. They're just having fun!! I like it here. Though I have to say I can't wait until Matt gets out of the Navy so we can move back to Eastern Washington. We like it here and would stay here, but he's got two good job offers waiting back in Eastern Washington when he gets out. He's not sure on which one he's going to take, but the jobs are his when he gets out.

Well those are my updates. I hope you all are enjoying this lovely weather we are finally having. I know I am!!
