Getting a little less comfy!:)

Well, I am 6 1/2 months pregnant, still feel great, but I am definitely feeling PREGNANT! I left work yesterday and felt like the baby had a grip around a nerve in my back..ouch! No complaints...it could be much worse- I just hope I don't get pay back when Labor comes for having a smooth pregnancy:)Everything is going great! Baby is moving all the time. He/she will move in one spot of my stomach and it will look like I have a tumor on the side of my tummy. I can feels kicks and punches, and every so often, I feel a jolt down in the bladder region-this one will hunch me over pretty quick:) I am already biased! I have the most adorable, precious baby..EVER! I go in next week for my 28 week check up and my Glucola test. My belly is ever growing, and seems like it gets bigger by the day! I had to go buy some more maternity clothes..some that were a little cooler. It has been in the upper 90's and 100's here in Texas. Not so comfortable when you are almost 7 months pregnant! However, I LOVE BEING PREGNANT!!!!!!I am still at a weight gain of about 14 pounds(give or take). I am trying really hard, but all I crave is what I shouldn't eat, so I have to seriously control that. Coke is still my best friend-I promise it is the cure to every pregnancy ailment-well, that is what I tell myself. I do not buy it for my house, because that is all I would drink. But, anytime we go out- Coke here I come! I haven't had any swelling, yet, and hope that will postpone itself until the very end. I am still working on my excercises, and going swimming when I can.

I just took the teaching position at the Preschool I work at, so I am a little busy, but it is nice to have my own class and do things how I want to. I will be taking 6 weeks of when the baby comes, but then I plan on going back to work for a little while because the baby can come with me.

I will update nect week after my appointment, and have a feeling that from this point on, I will have lots more to talk about!!!:)

God Bless and Much Love,

We have an active baby!!

I am so sorry it has been longer this time since I have put up a new post. Everything is still going great!! We have been super busy with family coming in, which was a blessing, and work. In the last month we had my parents, his parents, my dad, and his brother....crazy, but wonderful! It really makes us feel loved that our families took the time to come out here! Anyways, I am 25 weeks...yay...and counting...6 months pregnant is soo much fun! This little rascal I have growing inside of me doesn't even realize how much we already love him/her!! I am at the point of amazment, realizing that this sweet thing is going to look like me and weston. I still cannot believe that I am pregnant and going to have our baby in a few months..or less:) I still feel great- I have gained about 11 pounds, trying really hard to ignore my cravings(for the most part), and excercise when I can. I still have lots of energy, but this belly is definitely getting in the way:) It is harder to get comfy at night, and my bladder is getting smaller by the day. I can tell by the end of the work day that I am tired, because my tummy skin will ache...its like it is stretching, and tired of holding all of my tummy up. Weston is sooo excited and keeps saying he is ready to have the baby here, although we are enjoying our last few months of the single married life. I go in on July 28th for my 28 week appointment. I will also be doing my Glucola Test. This basically tests how fast your body metabloizes sugar. We start our Child Birthing Class on Aug 4th-I am excited about that because it is something we can both do together. My breastfeeding class is in Oct. I am looking forward to the hospital tour and learning what to do when in labor. Other than that, nothing is new, baby is growing and healthy, and we are more and more excited to meet him or her!!!

Love to All,
Wes and Rach
