Busy times, baby times

Gin Season has been such a busy time here at Anchor Academy. But the end is finally in sight, thankfully. I am ready for it to be over, to have my husband back, and  get into the full swing of Christmas.
I love Christmas! Its so nice to have my own house to decorate this year.  The tree is up, garlands around the edge of the piano and above the door and  I'm considering getting a bit of mistletoe to hang on the light in the living room, just for the fun of it.

As for baby things.... they are growing. Or rather "it" is growing. Little flutters and kicks have turned into big kicks and I am able to watch my belly roll as the baby turns. It is so fun! Definately my favorite part of being pregnant. But boy is it a busy baby!  We decided to give the baby a nickname due to its rambunctious nature. and that is....



Thumper!












And as for me, pregnancy has its ups and downs but has been more ups lately. I was struggling with getting my blood sugar under control to try and avoid Gestational Diabetes. Thankfully, my blood sugar has leveled out and I have not gotten over 135 for several weeks now. This was a huge answer to prayer! God knows just how to take care of me. :) Also I had broken out with a horrible pregnancy rash that would keep me up itching at night. Usually this rash starts in the third trimester and stays till the end of pregnancy. But it is completely gone!  I am so THANKFUL! God is so good.
So all and all,  I am doing good. Loving life, My Savior, and my Husband.*

So the only down side lately is....

That about sums it up! LOL  
 
 
 
But really...
This was me at 12 weeks
 















And this is me at 30 weeks in the  same tee shirt. Who knew those great big Camp Joy tee shirts would come in so handy?





Yup. I am blessed.






*(Speaking of husband, He is so sweet to me. He cooked me breakfast 3 times this week after getting off work. I'm glad he loves me despite my crazy mood swings. I am blessed indeed!)
