28 Weeks....

Had my blood work done on Saturday of last week, then followed up with my NM on Monday. Appointment didn't go as well as I had planned. I passed the glucose test (Yay!!), but I am anemic. Only borderline, so I'm on a high iron diet which hopefully will help. She had mentioned that I have gained too much weight already and I needed to watch what I ate for the next few weeks. To say the least I was devastated, even cried when I got in the car. I'm not eating super healthy, but I also know almost all of my pre-pregnancy clothes still fit everywhere but my belly. So I was pretty bummed for a couple of hours when I got back to work. I decided to get on the scale AFTER I ate lunch, and low and behold my weight was about 12lbs less then what the doctors office had gotten. I really didn't pay attention to what the scale said at the doctors, but to say the least I was furious. I came home and confirmed my weight with my Weight Watchers scale I have gained quite a bit of weight in my opinion, but it's totally within the normal range for a singleton pregnancy just starting the 3rd trimester. Everyone told me to call over there and tell them, but I've decided to wait it out till my next appointment. I'm going to start taking my weight every Monday morning and keep a log to bring with me to all my future appointments.

I'm officially in my last trimester of this pregnancy. Calyn is getting so big, when she stretches I can feel her from the bottom of my pelvis all the way to the other side of my ribcage. She's going to be one long girl. She also not "kicking" so much, I more feel her move and wiggle. Don't get me wrong every now and then I get a good whack but most the time she's pretty calm in there!

We took back the stroller system we bought, it sat in the back of the Yukon for about 2 weeks and every time I got in the truck I disliked it more (haha). Poor DH, we took it back and OF COURSE, the system I want was sold out, and we weren't even to order it. So back to the drawing board... BLAH! I can't believe all the stuff we have to get done. I'm starting to want to nest and have no where to do it.

We painted some of the rooms in our house. And when I say we I mean Lyle, his parents, my little brother, my mom and her boyfriend. I was so thankful for the help, and they did an awesome job.

One of the rooms we painted was Calyn's here is a picture:



All of our rooms are missing all of the trim and the chair rail in her room and the dining room, but the colors turned out great. This picture does not do it justice. We are going to do an appliques over the aqua behind her crib wall. Just a few more weeks and we'll be in our house! All the flooring arrived and after that they are pretty much done... YAY!!!
