CNM apt

Went to my CNM wed july 27 and was so excited that my health and the baby were doing so well. In my past 2 pregnancies i typically gained too much weight in the 1st tri that it was lots of fun to lose it afterwards. But not his time, i've read some from gillian mckieth's "food bible" and learned better ways to deal with morning sickness and be healthy. It has really helped as the morning sickness is substantially worse this time. Health stats: baby heart rate ~158 bpm My blood pressure 100/68 Weight gain in 4 weeks - 1 lb Next visit: ULTRASOUND for anatomy & gender Dun-dun-duhhhhhhh

Yard sale wonders

I went yard sale hunting over the 4th of july weekend and made some great scores i was so happy! I found this hideously ugly pink dresser that will look so great once i've sanded, painted and replaced the hardware that it was worth the $10 i paid for it, less actually bc i got the lady to throw in a piece of art. I also came across a guy on craigslist who later sold me a camping stove in great condition with extra propane bottles all for $40- can't beat that! Yeah emergency preparedness and camping equipment!

Weekend camping

July 8-10 Dale Hollow LakeWe went camping for the 1st time in almost 4 years and it was so awesome! Our van held everything we needed and then some bc the huss' only had their car with limited space since there were 4 ppl in it- bill, susan, jen & sarah. The weathr was perfect wih just a touch of rain the morning we arrived. We quickly set up camp and were livin the good life the rest of the day eating, drinking to stay hydrated, takin lon walks to the bathroom, and coolin Off in the lake. The boys loved swimming in a alake for the first time ... Loved it!Saturday we rented a pontoon boat with 2 decks and a slide for the day. We took our coolers and cooked out on the grill for the perfect day in the sum. I did get a little burned but it was worth it to see the smiles on EVERYBODY'S faces. Camping brings back so many good memories i had with my family growing up that i want to have more wih my fam now to share the good times. The only down side to this trip was that i had to walk so far to go to the bathroom 3 times a night. But i took our cool electric lantern and enjoyed the workout. I hope the weather will cool off a little bit so we can go camping some other weekend.
