32 Weeks and Counting...

Wow, I can't believe that I am already eight months along! The big day is just around the corner. I'm so excited for her to arrive! The pregnancy has been going very well and I still feel great. The only difficult thing for me right now is trying to get in a good night's sleep with all of the kicking she likes to do as soon as I lay down and through out the night. Otherwise, I think being pregnant is a really cool experience.
On Friday I got to go in for my second ultra sound. The baby is about four pounds now and everything looked good. A few weeks ago I had to do the three hour glucose test, after not passing the one hour test. I hated getting my blood drawn four times and drinking that disgusting sugar drink. Fortunately, I passed the test though. Rick has been so nice to go with me and sit in at all of my appointments. We have also been really busy buying everything that we need before her arrival. I think we are almost done with our shopping.

Trip to Arizona

For the week of my birthday I flew down to Arizona to meet up with all of my family. Rick couldn't come with me because he had to work. I was kind of nervous to fly being seven and a half months pregnant, but everything was just fine. When I met up with everyone they had just returned from Rocky Point in Mexico for Spring Break. They wanted me to come, but I really didn't feel comfortable traveling to Mexico being pregnant. Anyway, we all stayed at my sister Angie's house in Queen Creek. We went out to eat at a nice Italian restaurant called Riziatti's in Tempe for my birthday. Earlier that day we went kayaking in Tempe. (I just watched though.) I only got to see my brother Dayne and sister Krystalee for a couple of days before they had to go back home. My parents and of course Angie and her family were there the rest of my stay. Some of the highlights of the rest of the trip were getting to go to two of my niece Kami's basketball games and watching my niece Kylee's horseback riding practice. We also went swimming at the YMCA a couple of times. It was so nice to be able to get in the pool and enjoy some sunny weather for a change. I'm glad that I got to spend some time with my family while I am pregnant. I made sure everyone got to feel the baby kick! :)
