geez...I'm still pregnant...


we are still in the dark as to the sex of the baby, but so far this baby has given' me grief! :)


The issue with placenta previa cleared up and the last ultrasound showed that the placenta was at least out of the way. I was thankful for that.



I recently found out however, that I now have gestational diabetes. Which, really is just forcing me to cut carbs and sugar out of everything that I eat. It hasn't been as hard as I thought, and slowly the cravings for sugar are subsiding. So far, aside from having to test 4x a day, it hasn't been bad....AND luckily I do not have to take insulin.


the other half and one son are currently looking for a minivan. We test drove several last night and I liked the dodge caravan, but as my brother said my husband, "needs to turn in his man card"


The summer hasn't been all problems though, we had a great time visiting the family in TX. The kids got to....


1) go to the Houston Zoo (yeah for indoor exhibits)

2) see the new HP movie (okay that was me, but it was still cool)

3) Paint Pottery

4) Shop at an outlet mall (also, me, but hey, they got a pretzel out of it)

5) Jump and jump at a place that was 12k sq ft of bouncy castles...coolest place ever....

6) swim at an outdoor pool everyday of our vacation..

7) Check out Kyle Field

8) Go to the children's museum

9) Go on a 1/2 mile hike where at every turn was dinosaurs....


IT was fantastic...in fact, I would highly recommend the Dinosaur Park in Cedar Creek TX. It is just outside of Austin. IT was great!!! The boys loved it and the dinosaurs looked so real. The T rex was , I swear, 40 feet tall.


In fact, here we are standing in front of a baby apatasaurus....
