My dr is on vacation when I'm due...

Yesterday I got a postcard in the mail from my dr's office saying I needed to reschedule my appointment that I have on my due date, May 16th. So, I called this morning only to find out that my dr is on vacation May 14-18. Great, huh? Oh well, I guess. Ben said she didn't come in the room until I was pushing and did almost nothing but supervise. I guess I can't let it stress me out!

Attempting to braid.. again..

This is me attempting to braid Taylor's hair again this morning. I was doing the headband braid, then realized I was supposed to only be pulling hair from the front - after I was done of course. It stayed so we'll try the right way next time :)

Swimming at Grandma's

Mar, Taylor & I went swimming yesterday afternoon while Ben, Jr & Shelley went snowmobiling. Taylor had a lot of fun swimming, though she had the most fun sitting on the edge and splashing.

Taylor loves her horsey

Taylor was talking to her horsey this morning, not riding it like she usually does every day. She likes his brown eyes.

Am I getting too big for this?

Taylor still fits in this little dolly stroller, for now! "Push me! Mom, mom, MOMMMM!" That's what she kept saying last night until I did it. She is a little cheesehead, isn't she? :)

My Doctor Appointment Today

So, I am now 27 weeks along and had another dr appt this afternoon. I had to do the glucose screening today to check if I have gestational diabetes. I don't remember this drink tasting so bad last time! You drink it an hour before you get your blood drawn then they test it to see if your body handles the sugar intake correctly or whatever. I had a HUGE sugar headache after that, and had my regular dr appt. Baby's heartbeat sounded great and I'm measuring a little small, but dr said I measured the same last time - we should just expect another small baby. I go back in 4 weeks then it's every 2 weeks already! Crazy. Also, she suggested to eat gobs of peanut butter or cheese when I got home (protein) to get rid of the sugar headache and it worked! FYI for the future sugar headaches you may have. I'll know by Tuesday if I failed the diabetes test, otherwise if I passed they don't call.


Have a great weekend!

Taylor shows the "love" :)

This is how Taylor says "love" in sign language :)

She was watching an e-card from Gpa & Gma Mrnak and

there's a teddy bear that hugs himself and says something

about love. She thought it was great and kept doing this,

and she was very sad when I turned it off when we had

to leave this morning.

A couple more weekend pictures

Here are a couple more pictures from my camera this past weekend. I didn't have them uploaded for the previous post. Megan, Taylor & Madi being goofy while we try to take their picture :)

Playing in the Snow

We stayed at Tim & Mel's this weekend and had fun with them. The guys went ice fishing on Saturday again near Mom & Dad's house, while us girls did a little shopping and playing. We spent Sunday at Mom & Dad's house, and had a lot of fun playing on the snow hill in their woods. Fun until a couple of trespassing snowmobilers came up speeding over the hill and almost hit Buddy (their dog) and right into the group of us. The first guy was a real idiot and almost ran over Dad trying to get away. The second guy apologized 10 times after that and said he was from out of town. Crazy, but at least we were all okay. We did call the police and report it though, and Dad was able to get pictures of their registration #'s. I can't believe he thought so fast, but he had the camera out taking pictures of the girls sledding 2 seconds before that. It's a good thing he did too because the police said there was nothing they could do without the #'s. Anyways! We had fun but decided to go in right after that ordeal. Here are some of the pictures we all got. The picture of the steep hill is not the hill we were sledding on, but it's the one the snowmobilers came up right next to our sledding hill.

Braids

This is my first real attempt at braiding Taylor's hair that even came close to succeeding! She has such sticks that I have to get it totally soaking wet before and it still comes out pretty easily! I need more practice I guess, though it held for at least half the day.. for the most part.
