Our Day

This morning I had a 28 week ultrasound at the hospital.

It was just a follow up to make sure everything is still looking good with this baby boy of ours.

It wasn’t until later in pregnancy that we found out Ruby had health concerns so I was a still a little nervous.

I was relieved when they said he looked perfectly healthy.

We even saw his teeth buds and hair follicles.

They even did a couple 3D images of his face and he is the cutest thing ever!

My panic has gotten better lately, a lot better.

There is always something I am worried about during this pregnancy and I’m sure that won’t go away until he is here, but it has been manageable.

Now that the ultrasound is over, my main worry is that I won’t pass my glucose test on Tuesday and I will have to prick my finger multiple times a day and go on a diet.

Two things wrong with this: I will pass out every time I prick my finger if I am the one doing it and I don’t diet.

Which may be the reason I am so worried about diabetes this time around. I am gaining weight like crazy and I am loving anything sweet and unhealthy.

I will make it through this right?

Luke has been super involved with this pregnancy though and it is so sweet.

He talks to the baby daily and asks me all sorts of questions.

Today I told him we were going to the hospital to see the baby and he was so excited because he thought he was coming out of my belly.

I wish (this is the slowest pregnancy of my life).

During the ultrasound I told him to look at his face on the screen and he says, “oh, he is so cute!”

After the ultrasound I met up with my sister at Thanksgiving Point’s Farm Country.

It was a beautiful day to be outside.

The kids looked at the animals, took a trip on the wagon and rode the ponies.

I snuggled baby Liam.

I just adore this little guy and hold him as often as I can.

Maybe it’s because he is the first niece/nephew that I have lived so close to ever since he was born and I feel a connection to him.

After we left the farm and had dinner, Jared took Luke to the park to fly a kite.

It was also the perfect kite flying weather today.

As we started flying the kite Luke said, “This is going to be wonderful!”

It’s been a pretty good day for me, Luke on the other hand has had a pretty rough day of tantrums, whining and crying.

It’s just been one of those days that he is ornery and everything sets him off and then in the end he doesn’t remember why he is crying.

I think he just needs a good night’s rest (hopefully).

I am pretty proud of myself that I stayed calm (for the most part) during all the whining and crying. 

He is in bed now so I am going to get my yoga in for the day and hit the sack!
