Family time

Well this last week was full of events. The Bearce's (my dad's side of the family) came in from Oklahoma to visit with us and other Doss family in the area. It was so nice to have family here just for the comfort of love! I went for my 24wk OB appt on Wednesday with Derek, everything is looking good im up to 186 now, BP was 110/70 (way better than last week) and was told i should only gain 9-15more lbs????!!! I was also told that from now on i will see my high risk dr every 2wks, and continue with the sono's every 4wks. I also went part time this week and have already begun to see the benefit in my joints and energy....On thursday afternoon the Bearce's and I went to visit my great Aunt Dora in Florence, Ky. She has a pretty dry sense of personality but for the age of 76 she sure was up for laughing and telling stories from our past. It was a nice visit. On Friday my PBK eco glider was delivered and it is soooo comfortable! actually right now Derek is sitting in it doing his homework! This week my uncle Brian also put together Dreycin's crib and then helped Derek move the heavy furniture into his room. It's all coming together and i cant believe only 15more weeks! For the most part my cousins Jesse and Bailey played our Wii Mario kart which probably had dust on it from us not using it in so long. i was glad to see that they weren't bored! We had a small celebration of Bailey's bday 28th of july, Brian's bday Aug 2nd, and mine Aug 22nd with a buttercream vanilla cake:) i couldnt eat much because.....did i mention the sickness returned out of nowhere on thursday and friday? This week was definitely full of good food too! Deborah my aunt ate White Castle everyday, for her and my dad it was a childhood favorite! When we went up to Florence we had the Cincinatti famous chili which was really good! Here in Louisville we went to Lynn's Paradise cafe which was a experience in itself! Yesterday the Bearce's headed out and I actually made it to water aerobics for the first time this week and it was much needed! I went for my trim at the aveda salon got home and stayed in the rest of the day catching up on all my dvr'd shows! Derek and I actually played mario kart for a little while! Today we slept in and then headed out to spend some more $$ on Dreycin. About 2wks ago we had gone and bought the mattress, well then i got a 15% coupon in the mail for mattresses so i decided not only was i going to get my money back i was going to also go ahead and buy some other things i had gotten coupons for. So off we went to Babies r us with all my coupons. We got the mattress(again), mojito playard, waterproof crib cover, and medela breastpump, which a BIG thanks to Grandpa Joe and Mamaw Gwartney! I was also so proud of saving $84 on everything!!! We also went to pottery barn kids where I had $175 in rewards from buying the eco glider. We bought two baby blue blankets, a crib sheet and changing pad cover, and a bundle me lite in black for the winter time, basically all for free since I had my rewards gift certificate!!! We finished up the day at Whole Foods got some fresh veggies for the week, and ate lunch! Definitely a great week! by the time i was done writing this Derek had fallen asleep in the eco glider!
