30 Weeks Down...10 More To Go!

30 Week Update:

I am officially in my 3rd and final trimester now, well for a few weeks now. It has passed so quickly it is unreal. Cole is so much more active then my last post which is very exciting and sometimes a little painful, but it is totally WORTH IT! I am looking forward to the day to meet him face to face and I know Brent is as well.

My last appointment at the doctor was yesterday. Just a regular appointment of weighing and measuring. I am going every 2 weeks now and then at 36 weeks I believe I start going every week. I have had a few dizzy spells over the last few weeks and headaches so I told my doctor about all that and she wants me to change my diet in the morning as far as what I am eating for breakfast since they mainly happened in those early hours. Hopefully, that will help, but if not then I will talk to her again about it.

Growing Up with Pets

(this is us with Maci last October)

If you don't know, then we have a dog and her name is Maci. She is a great friend to have around and very playful, but we are trying to get her familiar with the idea of her not being our only "child" anymore. I know this may sound silly but it is very serious. For the most part, she is a very well-behaved dog, perfectly house-trained, until she decided to not like me anymore. That was about a month ago now. She started acting out in the house while we were gone. And not just once, but more like 6 times! We thought something was wrong with her because it was so out of character. I did for about a second think "maybe she is acting out because I am pregnant" but I quickly thought it couldn't be that, surely. Well we took her the vet and had some bloodwork done and everything came back perfectly fine. I mentioned my thought to the vet and he said that dogs can sense the hormonal changes and possibly hear the baby's heartbeat and be reacting to it all. Wow! That's crazy but so what had to be happening. Brent and I decided that I would have to pay more attention then I normally did to her and let her relax more with me on the couch more. So I have and she was still standoffish for awhile but has been slowly warming back up to me. I am glad. It was kinda sad not to have my dog not like me anymore. I expected it to be an adjustment when Cole "actually" came home with us but now, already, I was not ready for that, but am glad she is doing better. Check this web site out:

Belly Shot Update

Me at 30 weeks exactly. I feel like I am growing everyday now!

Cole's Room Update

Cole's crib with his bedding...I think I am supposed to turn the bumper the other way. Does anyone know for sure?? And the curtains are up too!

Cole's bookshelf with lots of little things already on it. I am in Tulsa for the weekend right now and am going to bring home some of my books from my childhood that I think Cole will enjoy.
