Glucose...Hemoglobin...FRG...Heartburn

So I did my glucose test..they said if everything came back alright then they wouldn't call me..Friday came and went and I was excited b/c there was no call from my doctor telling me to come in and do the 3 hour glucose test..Then Monday came..4:45pm, right before they close..I get a phone call saying that my test came back perfectly fine but my hemoglobin levels were pretty low. And apparently that puts you at risk for low birth weight, pre-term birth and a few other thing's I think...so I have to go on iron tablets. She said I (meaning my belly) is measuring right where it is supposed to be...and his heart beat is very strong.

I go to the doctor again next week...it should just be a normal check up. I'm not sure when I start my weekly appointments...32 weeks maybe..?

I am about to start looking for someone to do my maternity pics sometime in early May. Donald has actually agreed to do them with me...those of you who know him...know that this was a miracle...it took me FOREVER and some begging to get him to do pics with me over a year ago.(we didn't have any of us)...Now to find a photographer that isn't that expensive!..Maybe I will ask on subwives? We shall see.

I had my meeting about the FRG..There are 3 of us getting it set up with the command support team and the Ombudsman..There will be no president, etc.. (We are I guess you would say co-chairs?) We have alot of work to do and planning to get done. I'm still waiting to find out if my website idea has been approved by the Captain..I made a mock one for him to look at...so hopefully he likes the idea.

Not to much else going on here...I've just been feeling utterly exhausted no matter how much sleep I get and I've started to get heartburn every night...but I guess that is all part of being pregnant.

I guess I am off to bed. The sound of the rain may actually help me sleep. :) Normally I do not like it when it rains, but for some reason tonight it's kind of soothing. Yes...I am weird.

Hope everyone had a good day.

Tickers...

Nesting?

Is that what they call it..? Nesting? Well..whatever it is...I think I may just be going through it..I have begun a weekend long goal of getting my house in order...and not just the main room's..ALL of them..

It started out with me waking the hubby up this morning so I could clean out the bedroom...and by "clean out" I mean take everything out and throw it in the living room...vacuum and then make him move around the furniture in there...and now I am taking everything out of the living room and putting it back in there in a nice orderly fashion...I'm just taking a break now..b/c I think I've already pushed myself a little to far in a short amount of time. (but that is how I'm used to doing things..start and don't stop until it's done!) As soon as I'm done w/ that...it's on to the bathroom and closet...

I think I am only doing this so I don't go up and rearrange all 3 pieces of furniture in the baby's room for the 100th time...there is nothing else I can do in the room until after the baby showers...but sometimes I ignore that fact and make up a reason to do it anyway..lol. (don't worry I got yelled at by the hubby last time I moved it all by myself..so now I just have him do it.)

I just wish I could have everything done all nice and clean and pretty...(if I had a magic wand..you bet I would be using it right now)...I just get so tired very easily right now..and end up making myself sick if I do to much..I don't realize it until it's to late though. So now I am making myself slow down..(hey I have 2.5'ish months to do it all).

Oh and my lesson of the day...
Mt. Dew is def. a no-no..now
..although it is my favorite soda. I haven't had much soda/sweet tea in awhile (trying to cut back on the caffeine!)...and today I was REALLY wanting some..so hubby went to the store..yeah I learned real quickly that I can't drink it..

Well this is my little update..I think I'm going to get myself an ice cold glass of water..(I'm tired of drinking water..lol)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
Enjoy it..the weather is nice.

Pics..Pics..and oh yeah..MORE Pics..

So yeah I know...I'm slacking...I never remember to blog...and when I do remember...I am already exhausted and getting ready for bed...I'll make more of an effort! [[I promise!]]

Let's see...what's been happening..

My "little" brother Justin graduated bootcamp! I'm so proud of him. He is in AIT right now and will be home shortly and then he is off to Texas where he is to be stationed at..He will be leaving for Iraq in June or Feb...we are not sure yet.

[[Yeah...he's my little brother alright..lol.]]

[[Justin & some of his buddies..Graduation Day!]]

My Mom, Danae, and one of my other brother's [[Kevin]] all went to Fort Sill to see him...we got to see this really cool place called "The Holy City"...which was amazing..words won't even do it justice...Here some pics..maybe they will help:

I have alot more on myspace if your interested.. :)


Tomorrow I will be 28 weeks....Thing's have been going pretty good..DJ has begun to kick non-stop..lol. It's cute..even when I am trying to sleep at night and I feel like there is a war going on in my stomach. I go to the doctor today for my glucose test..hopefully it comes back fine..(diabetes runs in both side's of our family). I have my baby showers coming up so I am excited for those...
April is going to be a busy busy month for me between baby showers, compass, the FRG, my birthday, and Nicole's wedding...but if I stay busy maybe this will all pass a little faster...beside's I like to stay busy...especially here lately.

Oh..here's a couple belly pics before I go...(I'm going to take a short nap before the doctors..I've been up since 5!...so I am tired):

Alright peeps..I'm out. I will be back next week.
Enjoy.
:-)
