Lets see...
We went to Edmonton and had a really great time! The weather was great, spent 4 nights with my sister and her family and 3 nights with my Aunt. Anika was spoiled rotten, but really who couldn't spoil her?? LOL... I think that was her goal when she went out there. We celebrated her birthday about 3 times while we were out there.
I'll post some pics when I get a moment to upload them to the site....
Good friends of ours, Chris and Wendy Strachan had a beautiful baby boy about a week and a half ago... Liam Christopher Strachan is the sweetest little thing you have ever seen...
Here's a picture of him with his older brother Connor... Sweet eh??
I hope Anika is as proud of her little sister.... (yes ~ I said sister)... as Connor is of Liam. He really love's his little brother :)
It seems weird telling everyone that we are having a girl. Most people know but there are a few people who didn't want to know what we were having. Chris and Wendy didn't want to know but accidently found out from a friend who let it slip. No biggie... its not like we weren't telling people.
My sciatica has been quite bad lately. I seem to have 1 good day then progressivly 2-3 really bad days where I have really fight to get through the day. I'm not sure at what point I should call my Dr to see what he suggests but I'm almost at the point that its unbearable.
I did meet my OB... Dr. Awadalla, and love him. I can't remember if I posted about him so I apologize in advance if I have. He isn't too concerned about my placenta issue at the moment. He said that I have to take it easy and lead as stress-free of a life as possible. LOL... Oh - Ok... I am trying my hardest to keep things stress free, and Adrian and Anika have been wonderful in helping me achieve that. My next OB appointment is August 31st, then my next fetal assessment is Sept 10th... then I see Dr. Awa on Sept 14th (or somewhere in around there). Please keep us in your thoughts and hope that my placenta has moved up and that my sciatic nerve eases up.
I had my Gestational Diabetes Test today. If you don't know what this is about... you have to drink this orange drink that tastes like McDonald's Orange Drink that is all hopped up with EXTRA SUGAR... then you wait an hour and they take your blood and test it to see what your body does with that sugar. I felt like hell after I had the test.... 15 minutes after finishing the drink the baby was on a wild high. She was moving around, punching and kicking up a storm. After my blood was taken, I felt like I could take a week long nap... must have been coming down from the sugar high. I guess I will know if I passed when I have my Dr's appointment... another thing to pray for....
Otherwise.. our babygirl is very active and is a night owl. She loves to play at night. Once I get my camera charged I will see if I can get video of my belly when I lay down.... She goes absolutely nuts!! LOL
Oh.. and I forgot the most important thing of all... As of 5pm today... I have
37 days of work left
(I think)... LOL
