A QUARTER OF A CENTURY:

Josh's Birthday was yesterday, and he turned 25!! We had a birthday bash on Saturday with him and all his friends, and then Sunday we had a family party to celebrate this handsome man's big day. On his actual birthday 05:25:10, we stayed home, watched American Idol and ate funfetti cake... We are so awesome!

Last night, Josh and I went to our birthing class. This is the second week we have gone, and I

must say it's quite interesting. There is so much to learn about the whole childbirth thing. There

are definitely things, I wish I hadn't seen, but overall it's a great experience. I am starting to get

really nervous about the delivery portion of this whole baby thing. I didn't realize how intense

things are actually going to be.... Call me crazy, but I think I am actually going to try having this

little man without an EPIDURAL. I have had the desire for a while to try it naturally.

When I tell people this, they are like WHY would you want to do that? I honestly don't have a

great answer. I have wanted to do it natural before I got prego and I am still thinking it sounds

like an alright idea. I am definitely not

opposed to drugs, but I am going to try to go as long as possible without an epidural. If any of

you mama's out there have done a natural childbirth, I would love to hear from you with any

great pain management advice. I am just ready for this little boy to be here. ONLY 12 more

weeks!!

YIPPEE!!

26 weeks...

I am just getting bigger and bigger... I have only 14 weeks left. I can't believe how fast time is going. I don't feel ready at all. I feel like I need to have everything, now, but I guess I can wait until the showers. If anyone would like an invite, please send me your address. Thanks!

:::Easton:::

We went fishing on Sunday with Brandon and Tammy and their cute boy Easton. He is 7 months old and he is a dollface. He was the happiest baby and was so smiley! I can't wait to have our baby B here. Him and Easton will be best of friends. Fishing was a fun time, other than me falling over in my chair almost in the lake, the rangers kicking us out because of Paisley, Brandon getting a ticket for an expired fishing liscense and for the cold windiness. I love summertime, I just wish it would come and stay for good.

This is the "fish" Brandon caught.

Look at the chunky monkey, he is already 20 pounds!

We like to party.

One of my best friend's, Brooke, had her bachelorette party 2 weeks ago and was married on April 24th, 2010. It was great to go out and have a fun girls night. Things were definitely different since I am pregnant, but I had a blast. It was pretty hilarious, watching all of the drunks. We had a scavenger hunt, that a few of the girls really got into. One of the tasks of the night was find a sports car and get a picture with it. As you can see we succeeded and found a porshe and even talked the guy into taking the top off. It was a great night.

Brooke got lots of fun stuff, I am sure she enjoyed on her honeymoon.
Only a few of the many wild women I was with...

The wedding ceremony was very quick and beautiful. Brooke looked absolutely amazing. It was definitely an emotional day, due to the happiness, but also the sadness of losing her mom, on my wedding day 08.08.08.

Me, Dayna, Tiff, and Sharie

The beautiful bride, and all the girls

Love you Brookie! <3

Sugar anyone?

I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday

and it was probably my least favorite appointment so far. I had to do the glucose test, which involved me drinking this nasty drink below, which is 50 grams

of glucose a.k.a a ton of sugar, to challenge my system and see how well my body reacts.

If my body has trouble it could possibly mean I have gestational diabetes.

After drinking this, I waited an hour and then they took my blood.

I felt like CRAP all day long. I felt like I had a major crash from sugar,

oh wait I did. I was tired, lethargic, and Blah all day long.

You know the song by Ke$ha, blah blah blah, yeah that's how I felt.

To make matters worse, my doc said " yeah, I probably don't want to see you gain anymore weight the rest of the pregnancy." That is some funny sh*t right there.

I have 3 1/2 more months, explain to me how that is going to happen.

I will try my best doctor. Other than that things look great.

The baby is measuring exactly 23 weeks and the heart beat sounded great.

He was moving around like crazy because of the sugar hype he was induced with.

I will hopefully not hear from the doctor on the results, meaning that I passed the glucose test.

Wish me luck!
