Staying Positive!

I slept pretty crummy last night and had to wake up pretty early. I got to Labcorp at 6:20 and started my testing. First, I hadn't eaten in around 12 hours so they took a fasting blood sample. Then, on an empty stomach, I drank more of that orange soda-y stuff.

It was a LOT harder to go down this morning. But I read online that if you throw it up at all you can't do the test, so I just kept my mouth shut and wouldn't let it come back up. At 7:30 I had my second blood draw, then at 8:30 and 9:30. I have four new holes in my arms now. So my three hours at lab corp did offer some free time that I usually don't have ANY of. I brought my knitting! I really enjoy knitting but I just can never find the time to do it. I tried taking it to Villagefest on Thursdays but I was working on a dress and just ended up making a ton of mistakes bc I couldn't keep count with all the people constantly around. So, there it sat. Sadly, waiting. Well I'm proud to say that today I Almost finished it!! I need to weave in a few more ends (which I HATE doing) and embroider on some flowers and we'll be all set!! Check it out!!

  

And I've officially entered the Third Trimester! The 12 week countdown is ON! It's still really super duper weird to think we're going to be parents soon but I'm sure that's what lots of people feel! Brendan and I were talking about how the weekend of the baby shower he's going to be surounded by girls bc my mom, sister, two nieces and his mom are coming to visit. He better get used to it! He's out numbered in this house!! haha

Thursday night I'm driving to Santa Maria then Friday up to Chico for Ellie's birthday! Can't wait to see my sister and her family! I miss them all a ton! And it's always fun driving with my parents. I know my dad LOVES to hear my singing. I'ts really quite beautiful.

and yes, I still have heartburn and crazy swollen feet. But my friend Amanda and I went and got pedicures this weekend so at least they're pretty and swollen! :-)
