28 Weeks and 20 lbs!!

Yesterday we made a trip to Nashville for my 28 week appointment which went well. I had to take the glucose tolerance test for them to check my sugar but other than that it was pretty uneventful beside the fact that we've officially hit the 20 lb mark! I told Ryan that I hope this weight comes off as easily as I'm putting it on. I know that probably won't be the case but we'll just deal with it when the time comes. My sweet husband said that I carry 20 lbs very well....it will be interesting to see what he says when I reach the 30 lb mark! I'm sure he'll think of something sweet to say even if he doesn't exactly mean it! Anything to keep a pregnant woman happy right?!

Thanks for the advise from the last post. It was greatly appreciated! I wouldn't hold your breath for a name...I have a feeling we might be hearing in October "Mr. & Mrs. Blount we have to have a name for your baby girl before you can leave the hospital." : ) Hopefully not but I'm afraid that's what it's going to come to! We're in no rush though -I know we'll find one that fits her perfectly!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

New Baby Must Have's...

Hi blogging friends I need a little help....Ryan and I went to register last week for an upcoming baby shower and I realized that we have no clue what we need or what we're doing for that matter!! So that's where you all come in....what are some things that you would recommend for a new baby or mom or things that have worked for you and your little one?? Any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

We've not been up to too much the last few weeks. We have started to work on the nursery but it's definitely a work in progress. We've picked out some furniture so it's on the way. All in all things are coming together slowly but surely. It's hard to believe that she'll be here in less than 3 months! I'm starting to get a little antsy about getting everything done in time...I know we still have plenty of it but I just keep thinking if she comes early we're not going to be ready!! I'm still feeling great and plan on working as long as I can...I figure I'd get stir crazy sitting at home! We go for our 28 week checkup on Thursday and I'll have to take the sugar test so we're just praying that things continue to keep going well. God has truly blessed us and we are so thankful for all He's given us.

Hope you all have a great week! And thanks in advance for all of your wonderful advise! You guys are the best!

Weekend in Valdosta

Dad and Ryan cleaning fish
Aaron's BIG catch!
Aren't those the best looking fishermen you've ever seen!?
Me and Ryan

Thursday afternoon after I got off work me, Ryan and Ashley headed for Valdosta. (Ashley drove over from Searcy on Thursday morning.) Our trip was going great, traffic wasn't too bad considering it was a holiday weekend, and we were making pretty good time. Well about midnight we stopped on the Macon bypass to gas up and so I could pee again! We were all set to get back on the interstate when Ryan's truck started acting up. We drove around a little it started acting better so back on the interstate we go only to make it to the next exit. Let's just say I have never been more thankful to get off the interstate in my life. I know at one point we were going like 30 on the interstate and that's all the truck would do!! Not fun! So needless to say we coasted into the first hotel parking lot and spent the night there. Dad and mom came and got us on Friday morning and we hauled the truck back to Valdosta only to find that the transmission is shot and we need a new one! Luckily some wonderful friends of ours were going out of town for the rest of the month and let us borrow their car to come back home. We'll just take their car back and pick up the truck when we go home in Valdosta for a baby shower. All in all everything worked out as well as it could have so we're thankful for that.

Friday night we grilled out and just hung out around the house with all the family. Mom had found some baby pictures and baby things of mine so it was neat to look through everything. It's hard to believe that I'll have my own little girl in just 3 months! Saturday me, mom and Granny went shopping for a while the guys went fishing. Since the guy's trip to the pond went so well we had a fish fry on Saturday night with homemade ice cream for dessert. It was all very yummy! Sunday, we went to church and stayed around the house for a lazy afternoon. We got to visit with Melissa, John and Kayden Sunday night which was nice. We always enjoy spending time with them! Monday, we headed back home after a wonderful weekend! It's always great to go home and visit with our friends and family. Our time their just never lasts long enough!

Oh yeah--just a side note...I do realize that the date is off on our pictures but Ryan will have to fix that because I'm not too sure how to! I'm sure I could figure it out but it would probably take me an hour where it would take him 2 seconds to have it done so why even try, right!? Hope you enjoyed all 2 pictures...I've got to get better at having my camera with me so I can take more pictures!
