Start Em Young!

Updates

It's been a while so I thought I'd post a little update. Noah is totally walking on his own now. He won't crawl anywhere anymore except for up & down the stairs, which is what I like to see!

The basement is coming along great! We are still on schedule for finishing it this month. That is if the flooring people get their behinds here and get that done. More pictures are in the slideshow on the right.

Well I am now 33 weeks 3 days, and I have 5 weeks and 4 days to go. :) Yes, you heard that right. I will be induced at 39 weeks if LT2 has not made his presence yet. We should find out more at the next visit. But it's because of the gestational diabetes. Since the baby could be large, they will generally induce you by 39 weeks. At least that's the practice at my clinic. I'm also now on modified bed rest. I'm allowed to work from home, shower, paddle around (that's my doc's term), keep my feet above my head (also her term), but I'm not supposed to do laundry or grocery shop. SCORE! lol! Well Shawn got her to let me grocery shop, but i'm just supposed to point and he's supposed to do the rest.

That's about it from our neck of the woods.

Gestational Diabetes

So after having vampires remove oodles of blood from me last week, I found out on Monday that I have Gestational Diabetes. How bad it is, I don't know as they didn't tell me the results. Just that I failed. Nice. So on Friday I get to go to the endocrinologist where he will explain everything to me. After that appointment I have the pleasure of going to a 3 hour class in the diabetes center. Then next Friday I get to go back to the doctor for another 2 hour class. Oh what fun!

To top it off we've got a contractor coming to do the taping at our house starting tomorrow, and daycare is closed (for a well deserved mini-cation). Needless to say as it seems to be par for the course with us lately, this is not happening at a good time. So Shawn can't even come with me on Friday because he needs to watch Noah & be there for the contractor. {SIGH}

These are the days of our lives....

Oh and just so we're clear. I'm not worried, I'm annoyed. I know the baby will be fine as I'll do what needs to be done, I'm just annoyed that I have to deal with it. LOL!

Car Dancer Extraordinaire

Yes I have fully corrupted our son! Hee hee! I love to car dance and Shawn loves to laugh at me. But I don't care! Noah has recently started dancing along with Momma to the groovy music. I was able to sneak a little video of him doing it last night on my blackberry while Shawn was driving. I hope to get more soon that's longer. But he sees a camera and pretty much stops what he's doing. LOL!

Enjoy!

Strollin....

Although we are not yet walking by ourselves, we do love to walk with others. :) We'll eventually get there!





Another weekend of enjoying the lovely weather! And now it's raining. LOL! But hey, at least it's not snowing! :) Got to think positive right?

That's it from Turnerville....

Fresh Air!!

We have had some glorious weather here since last weekend. On Sunday late afternoon (post Val's baby shower) we had Noah out on his ATV riding around in the driveway. He was having a BLAST!!!

Here's a little video we got of him..



Yea for spring time!!!!!

Updates!

Well I've been slacking I know... Things have been a bit hectic around our house lately. We've had another bout of illness run through. This time it hit me as well and I ended up at the hospital for a few hours getting fluids. The baby is fine and now so am I.

I hit 24 weeks this weekend and LT2 is really moving around now! Noah likes to play with my belly button just like his auntie Jaime does. He's fascinated that it's half sticking out. LOL! And he likes to climb over Mount LT2 as well. It's pretty funny, I'm a jungle gym now for him! I've actually got some energy the past few days so that's been nice. I think the illness crud-o has finally gone and I can be productive! :D

This week is going to be busy as I've got Waconia's 2nd Annual Ladies Night Out on Thursday. I'm having a booth there so I hope to drum up some more photo business for the upcoming spring & summer! I'm really looking forward to it. It should be a great evening! I'm the only photographer there (the booths were exclusive per industry on a first come first serve basis) so that's a plus. And I'm all set for it too! Then Saturday and Sunday are filled with family events for Shawn's side. It should be a fun but busy weekend!

Oh and one last thing... Noah is 15 months old today! I can hardly believe that 15 months have passed. Where did they go? It all happens so fast. He's still not walking yet, but he's taken some steps. He's just very cautious. Plus I think that since he's rapid fast boy when crawling he prefers that. I just hope he starts walking soon because I don't know how much longer I can bend down to pick him up!

TTFN!!!
