Day 124 of taking it easy...33 weeks pregnant

Sorry for the delay in my postings!  Since I've become a more mobile pregnant gal, I've gotten a little busier.  I can't tell you how nice it is to get out and be seen.  I've never enjoyed errands so much or a luncheon :)

Back in early May, Jacob and I got to Oaks and Derby in Louisville.  It was so much fun.  My pregnant body cooperated.  Foot and ankle swelling got pretty bad since it was so hot.  But I found ways to stay a little cooler than most.

We got to go back to Louisville on May 18th for our friends Melody and Douglas' Wedding.  It was fun and so great to see friends.  I had warned everyone that I'd be wearing my Derby dress again :)

Only 7 weeks to go until Baby Pendleton arrives.  I can't believe it.  Really bed rest seemed to go by pretty quickly.  Mostly because of all the support!  Dinners, visitors, goodies, and help were unbelievable.

It so nice to participate in life again!!  All while feeling this life inside me!!  Baby Boy is moving a lot.  He does dance parties every morning and night.

Jacob and I recently attended our niece, Emerson's End of Year Program.  I can't believe she'll be going to Junior Pre K next year!!

I'm involved again this year in the Blondes vs Brunettes Flag Football Fundraiser for the Alzheimer's Association!  I don't get to play, but I'm still co-captain of The Blonde Team.  If you can support me by donating I would appreciate it!!  Every $1 counts!!  Click this link!  The game is June 24th at 2pm at Bosse's Enlow Field!  It's a family friendly game with a performance by the Boom Squad.  There will also be a firetruck and K-9's!  The Blondes won the game in 2011 so we are defending our title :) Tickets are only $5 before the game... Contact me for tickets!  They will be $10 at the game!  Get them at the discounted price now!!

This Baby Boy is due July 14th!!  We will be delivering at St. Mary's Hospital.  I'm getting excited and of course a little nervous :)  Still feeling good and getting great reports at the doctor.  Start going every week now for testing.  

Thank you everyone for your support!  We have amazing family and friends.  I can't wait until this Baby Boy sees how much he is loved by so many!  I know he has to feel it now!

Day 93 of bed rest (modified)... 28 weeks 5 days pregnant

Time is flying... already into the third trimester and only have 12 weeks to go! WOW!!

I had a very busy weekend for a gal on modified bed rest. Friday we moved completely out of our house in Henderson (it's under contract- please keep a close closing date in your prayers!) I also went to the chiropractor and had a meeting with my Junior League committee. Then Saturday was a big day!! Went to the Rockin River City Ride in the morning. My Junior League committee had a booth in the Kids Zone. My sister hosted a baby shower for me Saturday afternoon that was so fun! And Saturday night we went to Guns & Hoses with Stacey and James. With all that excitement, we didn't stay for all the fights but the ones we did see were great! Congrats to The Hoses :)

 We got great news at the doctor on Monday. The clot is gone, baby boy is in the 59th percentile for size, and we have been released by Dr. Turnquest! That means I'm back to being Dr. Reisinger's (reg OB) patient. I'm still on modified bed rest. But this third trimester is looking good :) I even get to go to Oaks & Derby! Can't wait!!!

Feeling very thankful for prayers answered! Special thanks to all of you!!

Day 84 of bed rest (modified)...27 weeks 3 days pregnant

Oh what a difference one week makes :) I got good news at the doctor 2 weeks ago. Modified bed rest now. Which is why you are only hearing from me about once a week now.

I'm really trying to balance light activity with lots of rest. It's not easy to go from complete bed rest to modified! I'm listening to my body and trying really hard to not do too much.

One of my bestest friends, Adrienne, came to visit this past weekend. She flew in from Asheville, NC. It was her first time away from her 2 daughters. She made delicious food, we went to the spa, and she cleaned like crazy. It was so terrific to see her. I miss all my Life is Good friends!

On Sunday, Jacob and I headed to Louisville after dropping AD off at the airport. Well, Charlestown, IN to be exact for Gracie Knigge's First Birthday Party. Delicious food, yummy cake, and adorable kids. Thank you Molly, Scott, Madeline, and Gracie for having us!

I know it looks like I'm doing a lot, but really I'm telling you about what I got to do instead of what I ate, TV shows I watched, or books I read :) I'm still taking it easy, I promise!!

Baby Boy Pendleton is kicking more and more. It's so wonderful to feel. I'm starting to learn positions he doesn't like me sitting in and foods he doesn't like me to eat :)

Last week, I took the 3 hour glucose testing that many pregnant women have to do. I'm very happy to report that I passed and DO NOT have gestational diabetes! Love getting good news!!

Very appreciative of all of you! I couldn't have made it to this point without your prayers, support, & help! Praying for 13 more worry free weeks and a healthy delivery of our baby boy!

Day 72 of bed rest... 25 weeks 5 days pregnant

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I needed a day to recover from the Kentucky Wildcat National Championship win! I was a student in 1998, the last time Kentucky won. I was actually dating Jacob and we celebrated together then too! Fast forward 14 years and the celebration was a little different- Me running to the restroom almost every time out and drinking Propel. Still I was glad to celebrate with Jacob again. I'm a lucky gal! Proud to be a Kentucky Wildcat!

Went to the chiropractor today. My poor tight hips are probably going to need a heating pad tonight. Jacob says I'm starting to waddle a little. Guess this growing belly is affecting me! He's kicking more and more too!!

Had a great dinner last night with Jacob, Kathy, and Shirley! They brought me Bavarian Pizza from Rounders- one of my favs!! We even got to go to Orange Leaf :)

Tomorrow is my doctor appointment with Dr. Reisinger. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let her say that I get released from bed rest in some way! I'm hoping and praying so hard! Please add that your prayers.

Thank you everyone!!

Had to buy this outfit today for our little guy! Jacob and I say this all the time!

Day 70 of bed rest... 25 weeks 3 days pregnant

Not much time to write tonight because my Kentucky Wildcats are playing in the National Championship Game in less than 2 hours!! So excited!!!

Please pray for good news at the doctor on Thursday!

Thank you! Enjoy the game tonight and root for my team!! GO CATS!!

Day 66 of bed rest... 24 weeks 6 days pregnant

I probably did a little too much today. I had help from my sister getting some stuff done though. So it wasn't too bad. And I've been relaxing the rest of time. I'll be better tomorrow, I promise :) I should sleep well tonight. That's for sure!

Jacob and I are watching our niece, Emerson, tomorrow night. We have missed her so much. She already 2 1/2 years old. She's growing up too fast. I know I will have pictures because she's adorable! Jacob's going to have lots of duties tomorrow with her because I plan on relaxing :)

I can't believe another week is going by... I'll be 25 weeks on Saturday! I feel great! Keep praying that I heal, stay healthy, and keep growing this baby boy in my belly :)

Your support means so much! Thank you!

Day 65 of bed rest... 24 weeks 5 days pregnant

I woke up this morning and couldn't breathe. I'm very allergic to everything outside right now. My eyes are so watery and itchy. I put in eye drops several times a day and feel like it's doing nothing. I can take regular Zyrtec but it doesn't seem to do anything either! I'm going to start doing sinus washes 2 times a day and see if that helps. Wow... it's a bad time to have terrible allergies.

I went to the chiropractor today. My hips are very tight. They hurt a lot when I'm sleeping. I toss and turn trying to get comfortable. The chiropractor and massage therapy will hopefully start to help!

Good day today. Feeling good and hoping to get good news at the doc next week. I have to do my first glucose screening next week. Praying that it's normal!

My belly just keeps getting bigger! I'll have to take a pic again to show you.

Very thankful for all of you!
