29 weeks :)

Well ladies & gentlemen - we are closing on our house tomorrow (bet you never thought you'd hear those words, huh?!) and moving in this coming weekend. Things are crazy busy in the Daniels' household, but we are very thankful and VERY excited... and a little nervous. :)

I'll post pictures of the move, I promise. I'll post pictures of the painting and cleaning as well, lol. :)

In pregnancy news - We are officially in the 3rd trimester. Yikes! Also... I failed my 1 hour glucose test (I swear it was the massive amount of fruit and starches I had the day before) and had to take the 3 hour test this past Monday. Not. Fun. But it all worked out. After I drank the nasty stuff I had to have my blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. The first time my blood sugar level had to be a 180 or below... Mine was a 127. Pass! The second time it had to be at a 155 or below... Mine was a 100. Pass, again! The third time it had to be at a 140 or below... Mine was an 87. Pass, again again! :) I was so excited and thankful to have passed with flying colors. Billy was too. He was pretty sure the next 11 weeks would've been a living you know what if I had to be on a special diet. YUCK. YUCK. No worries friends... it's all good. I'm still indulging in jelly beans, cake, and the occasional sweet tea. :)

But it's time for the (what seems to be bi-weekly) "weekly" update!


As you can see, I'm rather happy & excited that those are my regular, size 4 jeans from AE... and they are fastened... all day. lol :) Not just for the picture. I may be ridiculous...


How far along? 29 weeks, 5 days.
Total weight gain/loss: 15 lbs. Yep. I've surpassed my first pregnancy weight gain and I still have 10 weeks to go, lol. Oh well. :) It's a boy this time guys! :)
Maternity clothes? I'm wearing a few more now a days, but since warm weather has started making it's appearance I'm able to wear my regular skirts and tanks. yessssss. And you'll see in the picture above that I can still fit into some of my jeans. We won't discuss that only 2 out of 6 pairs fasten now.... :)
Stretch marks? No (please)
Sleep: It takes me awhile to get comfortable but once I am... I snooze :)
Best moment this week: Passing that test... and finding peace about the house.
Miss Anything? Sitting up straight and slouching forward. Oh the little things...
Movement: All the time.
Food cravings: I'm pretty sure I could eat a snack size M&M McFlurry 5 times a day... just sayin'
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really...
Have you started to show yet: Yes.
Gender: Stilllllllllllll a boy!
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody. I'm just being honest. 
Looking forward to: Moving :) 


Side note - I had acid reflux for the first time ever... at 1:15 am... awful. just awful. For those of you who have it all the time while pregnant - I give you all my sympathy and pity. I'm hoping it was a 1 time deal. who knows!

A funny :)

The other day all of us went grocery shopping together. We got Meredith a snack cup think of teddy graham's. She ate about half while there.

It was sitting between Billy & I on the way home and we ate... A lot of them. From the back seat we hear Meredith asking for her teddy bears. We silently laugh but hand her the cup with maybe 4-5 left in there.

M: (gasp) oh no! What happened to dem!?
Me: daddy ate them!!!
Billy: mommy helped me!!!
(This blame game went not for a few minutes and we were all laughing etc)

A few minutes later...

M: mommy, I'm very appointed (disappointed) in you and daddy.
Me: why!?
M: cuz you ate my teddy bears gone
Me: I'm really sorry Mer.
M: it's ok. Everybody makes a-steaks (mistakes) sometimes.



I love my sweet girl. So very much. :)
