Fun at home

I finally bought Rowan some play-doh and he loved it, first we made snakes Then we made a bear/bunny not sure what it turned out to be but he was having fun!Last weekend it was finally nice out so we went out and played with bubbles, Rowan was having problems actually "blowing" the bubbles so instead he just ran with the bubble wand and it worked just as well.


Rowan falling, from running so fast with the bubbles.
Of course the nice weather can't ever last forever, and this weekend will be cold rainy and maybe even snowy!! Rowan and I are getting colds again so I'm sure we'll have a fun sick weekend stuck in the house again!! Next week it is supposed to be in the 70's so maybe spring will stick around eventually!! We are ready for it!!




We had another appointment this week, I am now 30 weeks! I saw the midwife and everything looks good. Baby is head down- which I pretty much knew since his head is pressing on my bladder constantly! My blood sugars have been really good and I think I am doing a lot better with the diet, no cheating! I guess I just won't get sugar till he's born. In 2 weeks we see the Dr. and will have another sonogram, we had a 32 week sono with Rowan and they estimated his weight at 4lbs. 9oz. so it'll be neat to see how this baby compares to Rowan.

10 down, 30 to go

Well gone is our lovely fall weather, and now we are left with another lovely cold winter- this is the time of year I start thinking about all the places I would love to live that don't get too cold. I hate winter and cold weather, but I guess i always live through it. The cold weather makes me feel even more lazy so much of my free time is spent on the couch covered in blankets. I think the morning sickness and tiredness seems to be fading (although maybe that is just my wishful thinking)!

I ended up being diagnosed as BORDERLINE gestational diabetes, so for now I get to try and control it with diet, which means I get to spend ,my time counting carbs and planning everything I am going to eat each day- FUN, FUN. I didn't really follow my diet on Thanksgiving, but didn't go too crazy on desserts so I think I did alright.

Our second prenatal appt. is this Friday and we get to meet with a midwife. i've already talked to one of them on the phone and she was so nice, and unlike a Dr. who would have a nurse call she called herself. the only thing that worries me is if I have to go on insulin I will not be able to ahve a midwife deliver and will have to go back to the dr. so hopefully that will not happen.
