Even MORE Adventures!

My oh my I'm behind on my blogging, and it's only been a month! But it's been suuuuper busy. Lots and lots of pictures, you've been warned.

Baby News and Big Boy Beds

As far as baby things go we got the nursery completely painted just before the 4th of July. Well I actually just lied, we got all but the stripes painted and then the next weekend we did those. I was allowed to stand outside in the hall and take pictures and supervise because I'm crazy.

Tada! pretty cute if you ask me!

 Now the hard part...telling Conner that it's time to give up his beloved crib (and possibly his naps. oh no for me!) for a big boy bed. We told him that it was time for him to share his crib with his baby and that he would get a new big boy bed! He helped take it apart, move it out and put it back together. He was so excited. The whole time he kept saying "baby coming!"

The ruffle curtains in progress that I'm making. I'll post when they're done!

Helping put together his big boy bed. Sorry I don't have a finished pic. silly me!  We got this bed from Rusty's parents. It's old as old but it works and Conner loves it. We haven't had any problems! He naps great still (thank goodness!) and he even stays put until mom or dad comes into his room to get him when he's awake!

And last but not least the side shot for the month. 30 (almost 31!) weeks and counting! Gosh I really hope this gray and white striped shirt can handle another 2 mohths!

Dr things are going ok. I failed the first glucose test (the orange drink thing) so I had to go back and do a 3 hour test. I had to fast for at least 6 hours before hand (but I just went in the morning so I fasted from dinner the night before on) and basically I had my blood drawn and then had to hurry and drink the melted Popsicle drink and then had to come back every  hour for the next 3 hours and get poked each time. Not too fun. I took Conner with me and we just ran errands in between since we had the car and then afterwards I treated my starving pregnant self to Cafe Rio. so it was all totally worth it! (sort of) Luckily I passed that one so I don't have to worry about gestational Diabetes, but my doc still wants me to be careful of what I eat just to be safe since I failed it the first time.

I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and she's measuring small (surprise surprise) but still in the normal range. and that's about it!

4th of July Festivities

For the 4th we went to the annual Oakley parade and rodeo with Rusty's fam.

Conner's first ice cream cone. He did great and loved every bit of it

This is Conner's loot from the parade. He's pretty protective of it.

Later that day we played with water with cousins in the backyard. Lots of fun!

Outside Adventures
We have been love love loving our backyard. It's so nice to let C just run around out there.

He loves his "big truts" and rocks.

We got him a little pool and he loves it! Conner calls it "Connie's turdie poo"

Playing with daddy

Conner won a giant lolly pop at a carnival we went to a few weeks ago. He ate the whole thing (and then was up all night)

For the 24th we went camping (we went in the morning) with my family to my uncle's Yurt up in Heber. My sister Angie also came to visit from Vegas as well this last week but silly me didn't take any pics of any of it! But it was fun for Conner to see his cousin he doesn't see very much. Thanks for visiting Ang!

And that's what we've been up to! It's been busy but lots of fun. 

Compare and Contrast

Alright, so I know that I say it every time that I update about this pregnancy but here is living proof that I am way more huge and elephanty this time around than with Conner.

Not that I'm complaining because I love love love my (not so) little bump but I'm pretty sure I'm almost to the size that I was when I HAD Conner.

So anyway, I haven't updated the pregnancy for a while and because I know you all want to know...it's going great! we're down to 3 more months! crazy! I had my dr apt 2 weeks ago and my blood pressure's been so fantastically amazing she took me off of my stinky bug meds! I'm so excited! I had to make an appointment for 2 weeks later (which would be today) and still monitor every day but she said that I could cancel it if it was good. I canceled it on Friday :) So hopefully everything will go well from here on out.

So anyway, in other baby news, because of my Pre-E history I will be having an ultrasound at every appointment to check growth, etc. to make sure that we catch anything bad before it happens (if it happens) Which I'm not one bit sad to peak and this little girl every few weeks!

Also, after this next appointment (at 28 weeks) in 2 weeks I'll start going in every 2 weeks for the rest of the time instead of just the last monthish.

We also are planning on painting the nursery this week!:) We started clearing it out (because it currently is the scary "out of sight out of mind" room) and yesterday I even started taping it off! Hooray! I'm kind of super control freak with it comes to my artsy/decorating visions and since I'm not allowed at all to paint (I'd be surprised if Rusty lets me even be inside when he paints) at least I can make sure it's taped good! If all goes according to plan we (Rusty) will start painting it tomorrow:)

Yesterday Conner pointed to my tummy and said "baby coming" which was Soooooo cute. I still don't know if he knows what's going on because then he pointed to Rusty's tummy and said "baby" but it was still cute.

And that's the baby updates for now!!!
