The Carousel


Sunday, Stephen and my Dad went to play golf in the morning.  Mom, Stephen, and I headed out to The Woodlands and went to Zoe's for lunch and then went to The Woodlands mall.  I wanted to get some things at Pottery Barn Kids for the nursery, but they didn't have anything I wanted.

They have a carousel in the food court, so we went up there so Stephen could ride it.  He was so excited and loved it!  We rode twice and I got some great pictures!

I didn't have my settings right on these so they look a little weird.

There was an older couple eating and they waved to him so he would wave at them each time he came around.

He was being silly and then I told him to give me a sweet smile and he did this:

Then it was back to being silly!

This is his fake smile.

July 4th


I guess it's time to get caught up with blogging.  This pregnancy is wearing me out and at night I just don't have the energy for one more thing.  Plus, I used to blog on our laptop at night, but my expanding belly is making it hard to put the laptop in my lap and use.

July 4th weekend I was off on Friday, but Stephen had to work Friday and Saturday.  I decided to take Stephen out to my parents house so we could spend the weekend with them!  We didn't do much on Friday, just hung out and played and relaxed.

Saturday was July 4th and we had a pretty relaxing day.  After dinner we headed out to go see fireworks in Tomball.  I wanted to take a picture of Stephen before we left.

Getting him to look at me and smile is a feat!

My Dad got behind me and starting making funny faces at Stephen to get him to smile.  Instead of smiling, he just starting copying what Papa was doing.

It was so humid, my camera lens was fogging up.

I think those pictures are sooooo cute!

We wanted to get a good spot to watch fireworks, so we got there about 2 1/2 hours early and just hung out.

We had snacks and Stephen played with his cars.

Every time I tried to take a picture of him he would take a bite.

I wasn't sure what Stephen would think about the fireworks since he had never seen any big ones like this before.  Aunt Linette had given us these head phones so I brought them in case the fireworks were too loud for him.  Before they started he wanted to wear them.  He and Papa wear testing them to see how well they worked.  They definitely muffled the sound, but he could still hear us talking to him.

Time for fireworks!!

Stephen got off work early and was able to be there with us!

Stephen loved the fireworks and wasn't scared of them at all!  He didn't even need his ear phones.

The fireworks show was great.  It lasted a long time, over 30 minutes, and Stephen got really ansy and was ready to go home after about 10 minutes.  It was really late and we had been there a long time.

We had a great Fourth of July!

27 Weeks


I am 27 weeks!

I took two videos of the baby moving this week.  It's a little hard to see, but I thought I would share them anyways.

In this video, it's around 5-11 seconds where you will see it.



In this video, it's at 8-10 seconds. You will see a big bump.



This week I had a doctor appointment and had to do my glucose test.  The glucose test looks to see if you have gestational diabetes.  You have to go in fasting, drink a super sugary drink, wait an hour and then have your blood drawn.  My doctor wants your level to be at 130 or under and I was at 135.  It doesn't mean I have gestational diabetes, it just means I have to go for the three hour test in which you have to get your blood drawn four times, once when you arrive and then every hour for three hours after drinking more sugary stuff.  I am NOT looking forward to it!

I also took a belly shot this week.  I feel like I look so much bigger in person than I do when I take pictures.
