Working Out

That's right, I've started working out...

I have not worked out this entire pregnancy...except for that one day when I tried that really lame yoga video and hated it. Now this is nothing out of the ordinary for me. Pre-pregnancy I was not an avid exerciser either. I would get inspired and try something new every once in a while, but I never stuck with it. Last night I felt the urge to get my body ready for delivery and I am totally starting to feel this weight gain ( 28 pounds in 28 weeks...but who's counting right?)
I found some videos on youtube, there are 5 of them. They are each 10 minutes in length and work different parts of the body. I love it! It's pilates, which has always been my preferred method of working out. It didn't feel like too much, but felt like a great workout. I hope I stick with it!

It's Official

I'm in my 3rd trimester! Woohoo

I have mixed emotions. I want to meet Evelyn sooooooo bad, but I think I'll be sad not to be pregnant anymore. I have had a very easy pregnancy which is why I can say that (praise Jesus). But I really like having her all to myself and feeling her move around. Oh and she doesn't require diaper changes or late night feedings ;)
I am anxious though to see what being a mom is all about. I get sick of people complaining about their kids and talking to me like I should expect to hate my life after she is born...ummm I'm sure it's not easy, but come on??
I am also anxious to see what her little personality is going to be. I know I'll have a while even after she's born to discover that, but I hope I see it quickly. I pray she doesn't have a big mouth like me (Lord knows that's gotten me in trouble countless times and I'm still working on it), but she can have my sense of humor because I think I'm pretty hilarious...
I hope she is a ginger baby, is that bad to hope for such a vain thing on such a public forum? It's not like I won't love her if she's not a ginger baby, but OMG red hair and blue eyes would be SO cute. I'm hoping for at least one ginger baby in the family and Maggie and I pretty much have the same odds of getting one.

Surprise!

Last time I saw the Dr. she said this to me "Next time you come in we'll schedule your glucose test". I go to the Dr. yesterday and the nurse is like, okay we're going to do your glucose test now! Ummmmmm normally this would not be a big deal, however yesterday was literally the worst possible day to get that test.
I had a chocolate poptart for breakfast, along with a banana (that's good right?). So that started my day in sugary goodness right there....and I swear I'm not craving sweet things at all, but there was a birthday in the office! What is a girl to do when there are chocolate covered strawberries, brownies and cookies??? I ate them all, and maybe had double portions but whateves.... Until I find out I'm taking a glucose test. CRAP, yes I failed it indeed. Going back in 2 weeks for a re-test. I shall be on my BEST behavior for this one.

Don't lie, you wouldn't be able to resist this either!

Love this song

First of all Casting Crowns is pretty much amazing. They have great music out, but this song has really caught my attention lately. Just wanted to share.

Gender Reveal Party!!!

Last night was awesome! At our last Dr. appointment she told us we could schedule our ultrasound. We didn't tell a soul...we decided from the start that we wanted to surprise everyone. We sent out casual invitations to a BBQ at our house for Friday night.

This greeted them as they walked in the door. Then they were badgering us to know right away! Pink and Blue!The secret is inside the cake! The Grandma's cutting the cake.The middle is PINK!We had so much fun last night! We were blessed to have our friends and family join us. Thank you :)I can't wait for Evelyn Grace to join us in September

Feelin It

Saturday Kolby got to feel the baby move! I have been feeling the little movements every now and then from about 18 weeks, but it wasn't enough to convince me that was really what was happening. Saturday night however I felt a BIG movement and figured Kolby would be able to feel it too. That is a moment I probably will never forget, we both sat in amazement and didn't want the baby to stop moving all night :)
Since that day I have been able to feel considerable movement, but it's still not as regular as I would like. The nurses at my Dr's office are amazed at how much the red bean moves...When checking for a heartbeat they are seriously chasing him or her down.
And speaking of....I still have NO idea if I'm having a boy or a girl. This is about to kill me. The heart beat is 138/140 with most people guessing BOY, we shall see!

My Steal of the Day

Saturday I went shopping with some of my coworkers and I found this awesome rocking chair! I just had to share. It was a Goodwill find for $15. It is in perfect condition and I'm not changing anything about it. Can't beat that! So now I have two rocking chairs, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, I'm ready to rock baby red bean to sleep anywhere!
