Update-28 Weeks

This week was an eventful one, as has been this month. Earlier this month I had a flu like virus and was out of work for a week. Everything seems to okay with Sadie, and I was able to get the H1N1 vaccine to hopefully prevent any other illness. Two weeks ago I found out I failed my 1hour glucose test. So this past Monday i went in a three hour test. The test involves fasting from midnight on. When you get to the doctor at 8:30, you have to drink a 100 bottle of glucose solution. Then every hour on the hour for three hours they draw blood to test. Well an hour and a half into Monday’s test I could not keep the solution down. Therefore, I had to go back today to try again (yuck!) This time I made it though! Halleluiah! I get the results Monday or Tuesday of next week and I am praying I pass! The doctors have also discovered my iron levels are a bit low do I am taking an extra iron supplement along with my prenatal vitamin. I go in for my next doctor’s visit Tuesday. Sadie seems to be on track and growing every day. She is VERY active now! I cannot wait to meet her, only 12 more weeks!

Mariage Enrichment

The semester Daustin and I have had the privilege of taking a marriage enrichment class at Southern. It has been great because we have learned a lot, it carved out time each week for us to spend together, and Daustin got three hours of credit for it! We really enjoyed spending Monday nights together! This past Monday was the final" exam. All of the couples got dressed up for a banquet. We had great food and at the end of the evening we had a re-commitment ceremony. It was a great evening and an encouragement for Daustin and me after a long semester. And of course me being 27 weeks pregnant I cried during the ceremony :)

Crusing @ 24 Weeks

My wonderful husband took me on the babymoon of a lifetime! It was our first time sailing on Holland America and our first room with a balcony! The ship was only a year old and absolutely beautiful! The crowd was considerably older then us, which meant a nice quiet, cruise, just the way we like it! It was eight wonderful days of bliss. We left Saturday October 17 and did not return until the next Saturday. Our cruise left out of Ft. Lauderdale Florida and after a day at sea sailed to the beautiful Grand Turk in the Caribbean Sea. This was our favorite stop! We just love the beach there. We spent a relaxing day floating in the warm ocean and lounging on the beach. The following day we spent in Puerto Rico, what a fun and eventful day full of sightseeing and shopping. The following day we arrived in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. We visited one of the most beautiful beaches where the fish would swim right up to you and eat out of your hand! After another day at sea we spent a day on their private island. It was sad to return to the real world. It was nice to have eight uninterrupted days with just my hubby! I think it will be a while before that happens again :) Thanks so much my love, I love you!
