So... we have officially hit 29 weeks and are quickly approaching 30 weeks. Cannot believe we are 3/4 of the way there! It seems crazy that it has gone that fast. I am actually only 1 lb up from my pre-pregnancy weight. That is not all I have gained though! I lost 8 lbs in the first 2 trimesters. I wasn't sick, just not hungry. So I am actually up a total of 9 lbs... but we will celebrate the fact that we are up 1 lb from what we started as cause it gives me a little less to lose after Carter is born.
When you are overweight to start with and get pregnant, weight is a constant thought. I cannot say that I am watching my weight and trying not to gain- but I am very aware of how much I gain. So, as long as I keep on what I have been doing- I am golden!
I have been eating well and honestly it makes it so easy living here cause we do not go out to eat. I have been making dinner every night- we did not eat out for dinner once this month! That is awesome! We have made some fun meals and eaten all the leftovers- which is another huge feat for me! I am usually the one who throws leftovers away after a day in the fridge!
So excited. Kim's hubby Jay is home on R n R. He has been deployed since June of last year. So I know she and the kiddos are enjoying some time as a family.
Hais has been doing swim lessons for two weeks now. She loves it and is doing really well. I am so proud of her when I see her out there working the entire hour. I had to walk out today cause it is in an indoor pool and it got so hot I was starting to feel nauseous and lightheaded. So I walked out and took some good deep breathes and felt better.
We went to Tina and L'Chelles after to deliver girl scout cookies to them. It was super nice to sit and chat with Tina. She is one of those friends that I could sit and chat with for hours. Honestly, that is what usually happens!
We went and watched Xavier cheer this afternoon and then went to the movie Planet 51. If you have not seen it- go! It was great. Even us adults laughed outloud a lot! The kids had a blast!
Speaking of X cheering. Kim and I booked a hotel room in Mannheim for the end of Feb. The European championships are there the 25-27. So we are heading there for the weekend to watch. It is also a wonderful chance to get in some shopping at a larger post and also have some yummy food (hello Taco Bell!). Plus it will be fun to have some girl time in the hotel and get away for the weekend! That reminds me- I need to call the boarder and have her keep Bane that weekend. I can also have him groomed that weekend too! Yeah.
What is happening this next week??? I have a Dr appt Monday morning. This officially starts my every 2 week appts! That will make this go faster as well cause I will be there seeing Carter every other week! Yippee! Friday Hailee has no school- so a bunch of us will be heading out to Spieloasis. It is a huge indoor play area. It will literally entertain Hailee ALL day. Plus a lot of her little friends will be there! I can relax with adults and enjoy some conversation time. Plus they have amazing french fries and chicken nuggets! lol
February will include a lot of fun events. I already mentioned the trip to Mannheim. It will also include...
*2 Dr appt for me * Battalion FRG meetings * Spouses Club events *Spouses Club meetings *FRG Meeting *Girl Scouts * LEE'S PROMOTION TO CHEIF WARRANT OFFICER 3!!!!!!!!
His promotion is going to be done on a Video Teleconference. Ryan is being promoted the same day. So they will pin each other which is totally cool! Crystal and I will be able to watch it! Then we will get to talk to them on the system which is supposedly really awesome! Yeah!
Well, week 2 of school is done for the semester. Only 14 left- ugh! I have been keeping up pretty good so far. The essay tonight was done (6 hours before the deadline) but still it was done! I am hanging in there. Been rough this last week, my body is tired. I am laying down and falling asleep at night by 10:15. Which is funny cause right now it is 11:20 pm! But I sleep all night and wake up alright. Then I find myself taking 3 hour naps during the day. But I justify it as, in 2 months, those naps will be over!
Enough for tonight. I am super excited to count down days til we meet Mr Carter Adam. I am excited to count down the days til my mother in law gets here! I am super excited to count down the days til my hubby comes home for 2 weeks. Time is moving fast this deployment which is awesome!
