Updates...

Well, I am still feeling wonderful in this stage of my pregnancy. Today I got rid of some preggie pops to another pregnant woman going through the morning sickness phase. It was nice to get rid of them... to not have the physical reminder of being nauseated! My belly is growing everyday. I think my baby weighs just about 2 pounds now. I gained 8 pounds in 1 month though! That is a record for me... but I am where I need to be- just need to keep a slower weight gain pace, and things will be fine. I am definitely fitting well into maternity clothes now- before they would just fall off me and the shirts were a bit baggy (even in size small)- but now they fit just right, with some room to grow a bit.

I had to have my glucose tolerance test to check for diabetes and if you've ever had to drink that stuff... it's straight glucose- with some orange flavoring. It seriously almost felt like it was burning my throat as I drank it- because it is so strong. Exactly after one hour of downing a 10 ounce drink, you get your blood drawn to see how well your body reacts to the glucose and luckily I have no gestational diabetes! I have been craving sugar like no other though lately- but am trying to just eat a bowl of cereal or piece of fruit when that happens. Other than that, I am working more and enjoying working on a couple baby quilts for the baby. The room theme is surfboards... so when things are put up and the quilts are done, I will post some pics. I am getting really into it (nesting)!

Here are some pics of Alaska last year that Ken & I took on a camping trip... I am CRAVING camping so bad lately... I want to get out before too long.

My friend Kara took this picture of us- while we were trying to get a good "engagement" photo.
