29th week

Weight gain this past week was 1 pound; 16 total so far. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with the entire family. I got most of my Christmas shopping finished over the holiday weekend. This baby girl is moving around quite a bit. Thanksgiving night, she started kicking me around 4am. I counldn't go back to sleep so I watched TV until I was tired again. Then of course a few hours later I got up again to do the "Black Friday" shopping. The Nolan's (Jeb's friends from Midland) were in town visiting their daughter for the holiday weekend. Jeb wanted me to meet them so we went to the Woodlands on Saturday. While we were there, we ate lunch at my favorite mexican restaurant, Chuy's.

28th Week: 7th Month & 3rd Trimester

I am officially in my 7th month and third trimester. I did not gain any weight this last week so still at 15 total so far. I put up my christmas decorations Saturday.


Monday night I had dinner with my very good friend Deborah Breedlove. I am still having some indigestion/heart burn whatever it may be, lots of movement and frequent visits to the ladies room...all part of being prego's!

Chandelier Installed

Jeb installed "Her" chandelier Saturday. It turned out great!

27th week: doctor's appointment

Weight gain this past week was 2 pounds; 15 total so far. This is the last week of my 2nd trimester. I am on the down hill. I had another checkup this week and a glucose test...results were negative...GREAT! While I was being checked, my doctor said I was having a Braxton Hicks contraction. I have felt this before but did not realize that's what that was. Now that I know what it feels like, I am noticing them more often. I had an obvoius one while at the grocery store Thursday and another one while shopping Saturday. They didn't really heart but were a little uncomfortable just for a few minutes. Over the weekend, Kelly, mom & I went to the Nutcracker Market in Houston. I made a few purchases for the nursery. It really put me in the mood for Christmas! I am ready to put up my tree! Sunday, we celebrated Colin's 2nd Birthday. I can't believe he is already 2 years old. I can see how quickly kids grow up.

26th Week

Weight gain this week was 1 pound...13 total. We had a steady stream of trick-or-treaters for a few hours on Halloween. I started thinking...this time next year I may be pushing a stroller around with a 10-month old in a costume (with Kelly's kids of course, she won't be eating candy yet and I certainly don't need any).

Jeb went to Midland for the weekend to run some errands and see family & friends...I had no desire to take a 10 hour road trip in a bouncy truck. Plus he took 3 work days off and I am saving my "day's off" for maternity leave. I decided to spend the night with my good friend Rhonda. We went Christmas shopping in the Woodlands all day Saturday.
