32 weeks

Hello family and friends! This in NOT the best pic of me, I was really tired, but the belly, now that is something else! 32 weeks and counting! I now can't wait until the 37 week "safety net". That is when you are no longer considered pre-term if one should happen to go into labor then. This is such an exciting journey! Even though my back hurts, I itch like crazy, and I have to pee every 1/2 hour at least, the end results is going to be beyond worth it!

The McDonalds Massacre

For some reason my pregnant wife has been craving McDonalds apple pies lately. So twice in the last 2 weeks we hit the drive thru and placed our orders, but when we get to the window to pick up our food they tell us "sorry, we are all out of apple pies!" The last time this happened I thought for sure my hormonal, pregnant, apple pie craving wife was gonna rip the head off the poor, unsuspecting McDonalds employee. But instead she almost burst into tears! So this week when she said she wanted McDonalds apple pie you can imagine my nervousness. I was pretty sure that if they didn't have any apple pie on this day, it would go down in history as the Great McDonalds Massacre!! But on the other hand, who am I to say no to a 1/4 cheesburger and those delicious fries. So we were on our way!!! Thankfully tragedy was averted, they had apple pie on this day. I don't think those poor employees knew how close they came to seeing the wrath of a hormonal pregnant rampage!! Who would have thought a McDonalds apple pie would have such power over a person.

30 weeks

Hello everyone,

30 weeks! Can you believe it? What an amazing journey. We pray everything continues to go well with the pregnancy. I still feel pretty good. I don't sleep well though. I either have to get up to pee, wake up to itching shoulders and back (no one seems to know why), or I wake up with really back acid reflux, (I am on an acid blocker, but at night it doesn't seem to matter). So sleep would be so lovely! I really don't need to actually PRACTICE sleep deprivation!
We are so excited for this baby, and yet feel unprepared! We can't wait to meet him or her!

We would like to ask for your prayers for a continued healthy pregnancy and also prayers for Cody to find a good job. The one he was offered and started seemed to be going well, but they told him that although they thought he was a great person, had a wonderful work ethic and showed lots of enthusiasm, that they didn't think this job was his cup of tea. Needless to say, he is very sad and disappointed, and quite frankly, very stressed out. We are trying to take things a day at a time. Thank you for your support!
Much love,
Lisa and Cody

28 Weeks

We are now at 28 weeks. I had the fun of doing the glucose challenge test today, to test for gestational diabetes. Ick! But I passed the blood test, so not diabetic! (This is just a routine test these days for those of you that are wondering.) We did find out that I have a low hemoglobin so joy of all joys, I get to start iron pills. Oh, well, could be worse! Baby is growing and healthy and we are so excited!

27 Weeks!

Hello Everyone!

We are at 27 weeks today! Can you believe it! January 9th is getting closer! Of course, most moms don't deliver on their due date. (5 % to be exact). So, one never knows! I am feeling great! Both Cody and I are over the stomach virus we had and thankful for that!

We got to spend the past Saturday evening with Jeff, Kristi, Aidyn and Nolan, and also Donna, Craig and Brett. We met for supper in the cities and had a lovely visit.

Cody started his new job yesterday! We are thankful for that and he seems to be liking it.

Take care all!

Love, Lisa and Cody
