34 Week Pregnancy Update (picture)

I had another doctor appointment yesterday morning as I started week 34. I am getting so close I can't help but feel so many different emotions which include: excitement to meet this lil boy, nervous about labor, curious as to what he will look like, joy because I know he will be here soon, and of course exhaustion because no matter who you are it is tiring on your body to be carrying a life inside of you!

So I gained 3 pounds in 2 weeks! I thought that was a bit much but the doctor said my weight looks good. I blame part of my weight gain on this last weekend. It seems when you hang out with teens it is give that you will eat a LOT and eat JUNK. Camp food was yummy (i know this sounds strange but winter camp food is awesome) they had fried Chicken on Saturday night-YUMMY!!! Then they made delicious coffee cake for breakfast!! Then my girls had some junk food in the cabins and I know I ate some chocolate...ok a lot of it!

Baby's heartbeat was 140 and doctor thinks he is head down so that is all great news.

I had to do the Rh shot today. I am O Negative so my RH is negative and it can be dangerous to have a baby who is positive so they have to give me a shot now and after baby comes. I guess it is better explained like this:
When and Rh negative women has Rh positive antibodies in her blood and the baby she is carrying is Rh positive, the antibodies could possibly enter the baby's bloodstream which could attack the baby's red blood cells and cause hemolytic disease in the baby. So to prevent any of those dangers they give me a HyperRHO shot before baby comes and then another shot after baby comes if the baby is Rh positive.

I find is so amazing that in the medical world we know all of this stuff!! It is just amazing and I am very thankful to not have to worry about it!

How many women out there had to do this??

At my next appointment I will be having the groupB strep test done.

Did you know that if I were to deliver this boy at the same time I delivered my daughter I would only have to wait two weeks! :) EXCITING!!! YES!!! I am not getting my hopes up to deliver that early but trusting GOD to pick the perfect time!

So here is a picture of my and my hubby from this weekend at camp:

My bed is calling my name!

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video: "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review: Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine. I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
