It's so hot!

24 weeks 6 days

Well, first off the wedding turned out absolutely wonderful! I'm glad I can take a break now, and I am so happy for the newlyweds. They are a beautiful couple. After the wedding, as we were headed home, I started having pain that felt like contractions every two minutes. I got a bit nervous, but I noticed my stomach wasnt getting hard, so figured it was just nothing. I went home, took some tylenol and drank lots of water, and after a while they stopped. Then a couple days later I wiped after using the bathroom, and there were red spots on toilet paper! I freaked out a bit and wiped again, and the same thing. I wiped about 3 more times, each time seeing spotting. I happened to have my monthly check up that day so, I didn't worry too much. At the appt, my doctor checked my cervix and everything looked nice and tight. So, she told me to take it easy for a couple days because I probably had just been doing too much and over exerted myself. I have been good ever since, but OMG am I tired!!! For some reason, I am incrediblely exhausted! I can barely keep my eyes open during the day. So I just nap when I can and tell myself to get prepared because this is probably how I will feel like when he baby gets here! LOL. My doctors appt went good. Baby is doing good but I didn't get a the heartbeat but I heard it and it sounded good. I am now 150 pounds!!!! I have never weighed this much in all my life lol. Apparently, I am gaining like six pounds a month! Ugh Lord, at this rate I will be like 170 by the time he gets here lol. That's not big, I know, but that's a lot since I was about 130 at the beginning of my pregnancy!
This past Saturday was Daniels birthday and I did my best to make it a day (well,night) that he would never forget! He came home from work and I had set a beautiful scene. There were rose petals and candles leading all the way to our bedroom. I had made chocolate covered strawberries and marshmellows along with baking a cake and cooking his favorite meal. I served the strawberries and marshmellows on a goodie tray with his favorite candy and some sparkling grape cider. I catered to him the whole night and made him feel like a king. Needless to say, I rocked his world and he has deemed that day to be the best birthday ever! LOL
Moving on (lol) I'm so excited to meet this baby! He is so active and I play with him all day long! It's like he never sleeps! Except when I'm sleep, I guess lol. That's a good thing right? I am also excited cuz I enrolled back into school! After taking a year off, I feel like its been forever since I was last in school. Of course I will be taking online this semester and possibly the next. I have never done online before so I am a little bit nervous, but, I'm a pretty good student and since I will be at home all day, I have plenty of time to focus and study lol. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
Daniel and I have taken a step towards a new part-time business venture. We have been praying about it and feel that we should launch into it! Daniel will be doing most of the work while I do the background stuff, such as managing phone calls, clients, money, etc. I would say more about it but since its a public company, I am not sure I should post about it on my blog. So, we will see how this goes and hopefully it will take off.
Tomorrow, a lady who works for the state health department is coming by our house to do an interview about Jarrett. She wants to share our story and we are more than happy to be apart of it. Our story will be shares with other families who have lost a child and so we hope that we can be a help! I will let you know how it goes!
Well, til next week!
