That is how many weeks (not days as someone thought) I have until Grant is here. Just say a prayer for my anxiety level and my panic modes I sometimes get into. We had a dr. appointment yesterday and a sonogram. It was nice to see his little face, toes, arms, fingers, boy parts. :) His face has filled out so much. He doesn't just look like a skeleton anymore. He is actually getting meat on his bones. He weighs 2.6 lbs. (You'd think more by the way I look, and comments people have made as to how much longer I have to go.) People are so nice...ha! Here is the picture of his face. He is looking right at the camera. You can see his chubby cheek, his nose, mouth, eye sockets. To the left of the picture is his belly and I think an arm.
Here is one of his feet and all the toes that go with it. :) He actually had this foot propped up on his knee.

We have finished his room. It looks so wonderful I have to say. Not due to anything that I've done, but for the AMAZING paintings that my friend Ashley did for him (http://www.prettypleasechildrensart.blogspot.com/). On a side note, if you need any teacher gifts, baby gifts, birthday gifts, room decor, etc., she is the one to get in touch with. Her website is above (or to the right of this blog page). She is very talented. Visit her sight. So, here are some pictures of his room:

My dr. and I talked about how often I am going to be going back and what we will do at each appointment. So, I will go back in two weeks. Then, I will go back in another two weeks after that. At this point I will begin going every week and having sonograms every week. She also said that if I was having high anxiety we could do an amnio at about 37 weeks and deliver him then. We are for sure inducing on October 9th (38 weeks). She told me if my fears got worse toward the end that I could come in two times a week if I wanted. She is such a great doctor. She is just trying to alleviate all stress. So, I do feel better after this appointment. I actually feel that he will be here before we know it...Praise the Lord!! I think that once I start going at 32 weeks every week I will be a lot better. So just keep the prayers coming that my anxiety will not increase and that he will get here safely and healthy screaming all the way. :)

Cheer Camp

Regan went to cheer camp this week. She was definitely the youngest. :) She loved it! On the first day I asked her how she liked it. She said, "I know that I don't want to do this when I grow up. I still want to be a fashion designer." I told her that she didn't have to do it the rest of her life, just for fun if she wanted to. :)
Kennedy got in on the action too. :)

Passed!

I passed my glucose test! Yea!!

Glucose Test

During your 25th week of pregnancy you have to go drink this disgusting orange drink and have your blood drawn. This tells you if you have gestational diabetes or not. Well, what do you know. I am one point over the limit. I go back on Thursday to do a three hour screening. That means that I am on a high carb diet Monday through Wednesday, can have nothing to eat or drink after midnight on Wednesday. Then, I go in drink the orange drink again-YUK! and they draw my blood every hour for three hours! So fun! Just pray that I don't have gestational diabetes. I don't want to have to worry about one more thing during this pregnancy. It's stressful enough already. :)

Grandparents/Great-Grandparents

I took the girls to see my grandparents the Monday after 4th of July. They loved it! We played cards, cooked dinner, went to a museum. Regan even started liking having lettuce on her sandwiches. There is just something about Mee-Maw's sandwiches that are so much better than mine. :)

July 4th

I'm a little behind, I know. :) We celebrated July 4th as we always do...a little swimming, a little eating, and a little fireworks. It was a good time, but WAY TOO HOT!! :)

Magic Time Machine

Last night we celebrated my 29th (Ha!) birthday! :) I wanted to go somewhere where the girls had never been and where they might think it was fun. So, we went to the Magic Time Machine. If you have never been, find one around you and go. The waiters/waitresses dress up like characters. We had Aladdin and Ariel/Little Mermaid. Each room has a different theme. We were an the old school house. It was such fun! Thank you all who came and made my evening special!!

Grant's "boutique" Picture Frames

The girls and I went to Michael's to match paint colors for a friend of mine that is going to paint some canvases to go in Grant's room. While we were there I decided that his room needed something else. So, we bought some paint and some cheep wooden picture frames and created our own art. :) I had also been looking for an orange lamp. Well, orange lamps are either: 1. hard to find, or 2. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!!! SO, I painted an old lamp orange. It was quite the experience, but a GREAT one!!!

Regan's First Day Camp

Last weekend Regan got to go with her friend Hannah to our church's "Day Camp" She was so excited! We went through the check list to see all of the things that we needed to take. We made a stop off at Wal-Mart to pick up the things that we didn't have. We labeled everything and packed it in her backpack. And finally the day was here. :) I dropped her off and she was such a grown up. She walked up to the table to check in and went and got on her hayride so they could take her to worship. Oh! My heart melted. She is such a big girl!

That afternoon I couldn't wait to pick her up to see how her first camp experience was. She and Hannah told me all about the fun that they had had. Regan did get hurt jumping off of a platform onto a HUGE inflatable in the lake. (Yes, she did have on a life jacket.) Once she got home and took her shoe off you would have thought that we were going to have to amputate it. We propped it up, gave her some medicine, and she hopped around the house the rest of the night. When she got up the next morning she put her shoe on and was good to go.

She had such a fun experience...broken foot and all! :)
