I passed!!!!!!

Well, I competed my three hour glucose test, which tests for gestational diabetes and I passed!!! Whoo hoo! Joey and I went to the doctor at 9:00am on thursday, having not eaten anything since the night before, and finally finished at about 12:30. There was a lot of finger pricking and blood testing, and ALOT of just sitting and waiting. Now, tell me how great my husband is, he told me that if I couldn't eat anything than he wasn't going to either. So neither of us had anything to eat until about 1:00pm that afternoon. We were starving! Thank the Lord for IHop! I was so thankful he came with me. He was so supportive and encouraging! I just had to throw that little shout out to Joey.
Well, thank you for all your prayers and encouraging words during this crazy time. I am so thankful for the support that God has put in my life. Yeah God!

Stinkin' One Point!

I had another doctor visit just recently and I had to be tested for gestational diabetes. I had to drink this glucose concoction and fast for awhile and then they drew blood to see what my body was doing. Well, I FAILED by one lousy point. You have to score a 140 or lower and I scored a 141! What this means is now I have to go back in two weeks and take the three hour (more accurate) test to determine if in fact I have gestational diabetes. The doctor assured me that it was nothing that I was eating or not doing that was causing this. She told me that, in fact, the size of your baby was a large determinant of it. The larger the baby the higher the numbers. So, pretty much this means I could be having a big ol' baby. None the less, I feel good about how I have handled this pregnancy thus far and feel very confident that God will continue to protect and grow baby Jackson. I just wanted to keep you posted on the latest with me and the baby and I will let you know what the test reveals in two weeks. Thanks for all the support and prayers!

The latest size of the belly. Only a few more months! December 16th is gonna be here before we know it!!!

AUSTIN PARTY 2007!

What a fun and fabulous weekend! I went to Austin this weekend to hang out with my friends from college (SFA). We had such a great time just hanging out and being together. Since we only get to see one another once a year, we all love this trip that we make anually. My friend Sarah and family offered for all of us to stay with them, which was awesome! The other cool thing we did was participate in an adventure race that was supporting research for breast cancer. Well, technically I didn't participate, but I was the team photographer. Check out the pictures








They threw me a surprise baby shower!!!!!!

Let the race begin!!!

They are off on the water portion of the race!


The obstical course was awesome!!!

They didn't win, but they were the best lookin' team there!!!!!

Labor day weekend

We had a great time this weekend in Kingwood. We went to visit Joey's family (Aunt Sarah, Uncle Mark, and cousins Chase and Sean and wife Jennifer). We celebrated Mark's birthday, we hung out by the pool, ate great food, and just had a great time being together. The boys did their draft for the NFL season, which I have learned is very serious business. Then, we just played the rest of the time. Joey and I stayed with Sean and Jennifer at their amazing new home that was just built (thanks guys), and we hung out in Mark and Sarah's backyard. Their backyard looks like a resort! Anywho, here are the pictures of our great time this weekend. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention, Joey shaved all of his hair off!!!!
