My Sweet Ava,

XOXOXO,
Mommy

Walk to Remember

Today was the Heartstrings 5th annual Walk to Remember and other than the rain at the very beginning, it turned out great. Everyone who planned on coming wasnt able to attend, but hopefully they will all be able to make it next year. Because of everyone who donated, we were able to give over $450.00 in honor of Ava. That is truely a blessing all by itself. Heartstrings is a wonderful program and I am so happy that people were able to donate so this program can continue.

Again, thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!

Quick Doc Appt Update

So I had my 29 week doctor's appointment today and everything looks great. Miss. Adalyn is measuring 32 weeks and is already weighing right at 4lbs. Dr. Jacobs doesn't believe weight will be an issue come time to deliver...I kinda thought, "well duh." :o) My hemoglobin (if I even spelled that right) is kind of low so he would like for me to start taking some extra iron a couple times a week. Other than that, things are going smoothly. We go back Oct 20th for a regular check up, but no ultrasound. Speaking of ultrasound, Adalyn did not want her picture taken so the only pic we got this week was of her foot, which is friggen huge by the way. She was in a ball and the tech couldn't even get a profile pic. I can already tell we are going to have our hands full!

What a Weekend

This weekend has been absolutely amazing. We have had so much fun, but me....well I am friggen exhausted. I don't think I will wear tennis shoes again until I see snow on the ground. I want to lay in the bed until Adalyn gets here and even then, I don't think I will want to leave the house. All jokes aside though, we had an awesome time this weekend.

Saturday we went to Beech Mountain, NC to the Land of Oz. Ally had so much fun (well Johnathon and I did too). Of course we let her wear her Dorothy costume and as you all know, she looked adorable. We were able to meet all of the characters from the movie. I still cant get over how good some of their costumes were.

Today was Homecoming at church and then we went to the fair. Ally thought she was all grown up riding all of the rides. She was on top of the world and had more guts than I thought she would. She rode all of the kiddie rides and even rode on a pony.

To top the weekend off with a bang, I got a call Friday from the doctor's office.....I PASSED MY 3 HR GESTATIONAL DIABETES TEST!!! WOOHOOO!!

Fun Stuff

So I failed the crap out of my 1hr gestational diabetes screening Monday so guess where I'm at today.....You guessed it; LabCorp for my 3hr test. At 9:23am, I have to go back and get my 2nd blood drawing done. I hate this mess. Ugh. I dont know why I'm acting surprised though. I knew it was going to happen, but the truth sucks; yah know? Everyone knows that I will do whatever it takes to get a healthy baby into this world, but I am just so tired...Sorry, enough complaining. I'll post again when I have something good to say....Lord knows I have about 2 1/2 more hours to think about it!
