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!
