Waiting....

Now that all of our showers/shopping sprees/prep work is done, we are just in waiting mode! Baby S seems to be very content in there as I am still not dilated at all. We still have a little over a week until her due date, so for the time being, we are just enjoying these last few days as a child-less couple. Our lives are about to change forever and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Full Term Baby!

Baby S is offcially considered full term and is more than welcome to make an appearance any time now! We would like her to wait until at least next week as we are heading out of town for the weekend =).

The past few weeks have been super crazy busy at work and Baby S and I have had a few issues. 2 weeks ago the nurse called me to say there was some sugar in my urine and she scheduled me for another glucose test. Well, I failed it miserably. Tomorrow I am going in to do a 3 hour test. This will consist of me drinking a more concentrated fruity concoction and sitting in the waiting room for THREE HOURS as they take my blood every hour. If I fail this test, it means I have gestational diabetes and I will be closely monitored and/or put on insulin. In the mean time, doc cut out my 5 servings of fruit and my 1 sprite a day....who knew fruit would get me in so much trouble???! I might as well have been eating butterfinger blizzards and enjoying myself =/. Other than that, all is well and I am not dilated as of yet. I have lost 2lbs over the last 2 weeks, which is a miracle in itself considering I can now eat full meals! Let's hope this continues after S is born =).

This week is another week full of fun and showers!! Chris's work is throwing us a shower on Friday afternoon and then my sis flies in from Cali that same afternoon and we will drive up to Kilgore for another shower on Sunday!! I can't wait!!

Here I am today:

Rod Ryan Pre-Labor Day Pregnant Bikini Contest!

Last night was the night! The contest started around 6.30 and the first event was the diaper changing contest. We had to unsnap the onsie, take the diaper off, put a new diaper on and re-snap the onsie. Your time dictated how many points out of 10 you got. I got 5 =/. I was the first to get the diaper on, but I was shaking so bad that I couldnt get the stupid onsie snapped!! D'oh!
The next event was a diaper throwing contest. We had 10 diapers and you got 1 point for each diaper you made into the trash can. Sounds easy right?? WRONG! The diapers are SO light and they had this huge fan blowing on us from behind! I got 1....BUT alot of girls didnt get any...so, not TOO bad...haha.
The final event was the bikini contest, worth 30 points. 10 points for grace, 10 points for overall look, and 10 points for the mommy "IT" factor. I dont know my score on this, but when I walked out, everyone started chanting "USA, USA, USA!"...it was awesome =). Rod Ryan couldn't believe my belly...haha, he was very facintated. He asked each one of us when and where the baby was conceived and we were told before the contest to be "crafty"...I am pretty sure each one of us lied. =)

It was a fun time. I didn't win, but I am glad Chris convinced me to do it and drug me out there. Here are some pics.
