Only 98 days to go!

Hey there, well we are 26 weeks (or 6.5 months) along now. We had an interesting night a few nights ago. I was at work and feeling some bad pains in my right side and around to my back around my kidney area and the pains wouldnt go away. I waited a few hours till I got home, Jason had me drink water and take some tylonol and we went to bed hoping laying down would help, well anyway nothing helped so around 11:30 ish we decided to go into the Emergency Room just to make sure everything was ok. I felt like it was a Kidney infection so I wanted to make sure and get it taken care of. Well I guess with all the H1N1 going on if you are pregnant past 20 weeks you cant sit in the emergency room anymore, so they sent us directly to Labor and Delevery. (let me tell ya, that felt weird being there since i didn't expect to be there for another 3 months or so) we did get to walk past the Nursury and see all the tiny babys... (it made me tear up a bit). So anyways, after a ton of test and listning to Brandon's hearbeat and all of that it ended up being nothing. No Bladder infection, no kidney infection. They said it was probably just my Ligaments in my belly streching as the baby is growing.. (it definitally felt more than that) but if thats what they say. I will belive them. So All is good.

Jason is working hard now on the baby room. He is painting the second coat of blue as I type this. It is starting to look so good. I wil post some pics of him in the process.

I also finaly took some 6 month pics of me and my belly so I will post some of those too.

We are headed over to the Gisch's household tonight for dinner with them and the Cavanaugh's. It should be a great time. Pork Tenderloin is on the menu.. MMMMM sounds great.

We have our next appointment in about a week and a half I think. Not too much at that appointment, however after that one we start going ever two weeks.

25 Week Update

So I got my phone call back from the doctors office about my glucose test and I passed! Phew.. I was kinda worrying about it, but all is good. They did however find out that I am Anemic. For those who dont know what that means (as I didn't) Anemia usually is caused by deficiencies of iron, I guess it can also be caused by a deficiency in red blood cell production. So I am now on a medication (I will start tomorrow) to get some more iron in my body. Which all makes sense.. I do get really weak latley, really tired and worn out after doing simple things as in walk for about 5 min (somewhat briskly or not), climb stairs and what not. I figured it was just due to pregnancy which, I guess partly can be but now i know it is more due to the anemia. Hopefully the pills will make it better.

Other than that.. I guess that's all. Jason started working on the baby room a bit more. He has got the holes in the walls (where old pics were) all mudded up and ready to be painted. That will probably be done this weekend. Then my uncle Roy, later on, Is gonna help us with a Chair rail.

So far we still need to put the new dresser all together, It is now still in a box in the loft (along with a lot of other items with no home yet). I dont know where I will put all this stuff. Oh well.. I will find a place i guess.

Love ya all
