It's a Watermelon!

Well freinds, I'm 37 weeks today!!

AKA officially full term

AKA one week to the day before I had Conner

AKA I could go at any time! And it might mean nothing at all but today I got and followed the urge to clean all my bathrooms, vacuum all my floors and re-organize my closet. Nesting anyone?? just sayin...

So I feel like I'm pretty much ready for this little girl to make her appearance. (well I'm ready in the stuff aspect. I'm not so sure anybody is really ready to push a baby out.) But I have to keep her in until at least the 15th (saturday) because it is THE FINAL tax deadline and I absoutley positutely refuse to have another tax season birthday in this family. 3 more days then I don't chare when the heck she comes. I had a Dr apointment on Monday which ended in a cry fest (don't worry, everything is fine, I'm just a pregnant basket case) My BP was a tiny bit high at the first of my apt (although it's been purrrrfect at home) so my dr had them check it again after my apt and it was a little higher. Dang it! The nurse went and talked to Doc and she said to have me sit in the exam room for 10 min and then try again and if it was still high I'd need to go to the hospital to be checked out. Well I'm not sure that Doc wanted to nurse to tell me that last part because that's not what you tell someone who needs to stay calm. But she told me and shut me in a room all by myself for 10 min. and what else was I supposed to do but cry? I mean honestly! I thought I had done a really good job of not super crying and maybe the nurse wouldn't notice (ha!) But she came in and said "oh no! No crying!" I'm sure that she was just trying to be nice but that's the second thing you don't do because when you acknowledge that someone has been crying it just makes it worse. And I didn't even need to go to nurse school to learn that! So after she said that I lost it. And then silly nurse still took my blood pressure even though it was bound to be sooooo high because of my cryfest. and it was. It was like 158/103. (remember, 140/90 is when they worry) She asked if I wanted a few minutes to calm down and check again before sending me to the hospital. Well duh. YES I wanted to try again! She forgot to close the door and since the flood gates had been opened instead of calming down I just got worse. My doc walked by and came in just as the nurse was coming back. Doc said "I can't check her BP now! There's no way it will be right!" So she told me that she didn't think that it was PE and that I should go home and relax and check at home and let her know if it creeps up again.  Wow that was a really long story! and probably kind of boring. sorry! I don't even know if I meant to tell the whole thing but since I spent so much time typing it we'll just leave it.

But good news, I had an ultrasound and she is approx. the weight that Conner was when he was born! (5lb 10oz) which is still small but not 2 weeks behind like she has been measuring!

And that's the news! and here are some pics!

The lineup. Click on me to see me bigger! Oh, and you can also see how much someone's hair can grow in the duration of a pregnancy because, don't think I'm gross, but I haven't cut it the whole time (not on purpose, it just never happened)

The nursery is almost pretty much done! yay!

pretty pretty DI frames for $.50 each!

Tada! After! The middle one is a DI frame too but I didn't get a before. I splurged and spent a dollar on it. Someday there will be cute pics in them!

Another project. $.97 walmart wooden frames modge podged with cute paper and hooked together with ribbon.

and closer

And all of little girls cute cute clothes! squeal! So excited:)

Spewing forth Ruffles

I was totally going to wait until the whole nursery was done to show off my curtains but they're just too cute not to share!

I have had these curtains in mind for a nursery even before I was preggo. So it's a good thing little girl turned out to be a little girl because one of two things could have happened, 1: I wouldn't get to make my brain child creation curtains and would have been sad, or 2: a little boy would grow up kind of messed up. They weren't  too hard, even for me who is definitely no sally seamstress. Just a LOT of straight lines. They took forever considering I could only work on them during C's naps but now the curtains are done! and I think they turned out mighty cute if you ask me!

And while we're looking at cute baby things here's a suuuuper cute blanket my sis made for me.

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.

At the parade

Awe

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

messy face

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!

At the rodeo

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.
