32 Weeks!!

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry for the delayed post:( I have been so busy the last couple of weeks moving, but we are all settled in and Bradford's room is even coming close to being finished!! My mom has been in town for the last week helping with Bradford's room and I am so thankful for her help.....a week ago his room was a put together crib and a bunch of boxes stacked everywhere! She refinished and painted two pieces of furniture for his room a dresser/changer and a side table. They are so amazing, and will make his room for sure!! We were supposed to do a bunch of the decorating ect together this week BUT I got a stomach virus and have not been much help at all. I am also so thankful that my mom was in town while I was sick because she is a very good nurse.

Will started his job this week and I couldn't be more proud of him!!! Congratulations Will!! He has worked/studied for eight years for this job and its hard to believe but he is now a practicing tax attorney!!!

Cupcakes to Celebrate Will's first day of work!

Last weekend I had a beautiful shower in Jackson (well actually Canton) at my friend Claire's home. It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up. Bradford got so many great gifts!! Thank you to everyone who attended and a big thank you to all of the lovely hostesses Claire, Chrissy, Jenny and Lauren!! I have another shower this weekend in Cleveland (Will's hometown) and I cannot wait! Also, my daddy is coming in town for the weekend not to attend the shower haha but to see us so its going to be a great weekend!

Our first baby Cooley Janoush has been officially kicked out of our bed:( tear...This has been very hard on me, but we think it is going to be best for the Bradford if a 85lb Golden isn't jumping on our bed in the middle of the night. So we have purchased Cooley his own bed (along with a special monogrammed pillow). He seems to really like his bed and we are hoping this will keep him out of ours. Wish us luck!!

30 Weeks!!!

Hey everyone!! I am 30 weeks and 5 days!! CRAZY!! Bradford is healthy and according to my last ultrasound he is a big boy. He weighed 3 pounds 2 oz at 28 weeks and 5 days, which puts him in the 80th percentile. That was my last appointment in Gainesville, which was a little sad because I love my Gainesville OB and staff:( BUT Will and I are very excited to be back in MS and especially excited to move back in to our home in Madison. This week is actually our move in week and I am in Cleveland with my in laws (I would not be any help to Will at this point)!! Again, I DO NOT recommend moving this late in pregnancy.....poor Will! He is taking it very well and it was actually his idea for me to stay behind in Cleveland until all of the big moving, cleaning, and painting is completed. Paul, Lucy, and I (Wills parents) are heading to Madison this weekend to unpack and decorate. I am very thankful for their help too!! I spoke with my new/Jackson OB today and she gave me some bad news...I am hypoglycemic. This is actually not a big shock, but its not good news. I have started to feel light headed and dizzy a few times a day at or around meal times. I knew this was a possibility, but she confirmed it with my glucose test results. So I am on strict orders to eat every two hours, which is not fun but its much better than fainting haha! I of course was more concerned about Bradford than myself, but the Dr said he is fine and that my body should regulate itself after a few weeks of eating this way. The condition will become more threatening if my body is unable to regulate itself. Thus far eating regularly has kept me feeling ok so hopefully this diet will work. Please say a little prayer. Other than the low blood sugar I have been feeling really good and have been so blessed with a easy pregnancy. I just hope I continue to feel good for the next nine weeks!!
