Fair Time in TN!!

It is almost that time of year again here in East TN. Courtney and I are both lucky enough to get to work the fair this year. That extra bit of money will certainly help us out with our sweet baby girl on the way!!

September is chock full of activities. I think once October is here we will take a deep breath and be glad we made it through!!

Let me just list it all out, because I can :)

Labor Day (This weekend): Family Reunion 2013
September 4: 1st of two baby appointments.
September 6-15: TN Valley Fair!!
September 18: I will try to keep my appts on the same day of the week, so 2nd baby appointment.
September 21: All day Birthing/New Parent Class/Hospital Tour. Our friend is also surprising us by decorating our nursery while we are out all day. :)
September 22: 1st Baby Shower!! Friends.
September 26: Breastfeeding Class.
September 29: 2nd Baby Shower!! Family/Church ladies.

Then we get into October...we have one more evening natural birthing class on the 1st, then we are in the home stretch to meeting this sweet baby of ours!! We will have weekly appointments until she is born during October too. I also have an eye doctor appointment in there somewhere.

I am getting more achy, and this heartburn is no joke. It is harder to stay asleep through the night, getting up to pee and switching sides after one goes numb and readjusting the pillows haha. I try to get up and walk more at work too, to keep the blood moving. Oh yeah!! The last time I updated, I was awaiting results from the sugar test, I am soooo happy to say I passed :) I am free to party on as I was before! Thank goodness because bread and ice cream are about the only things that don't set my chest on fire :)

I have been nesting at work. Getting everything ready for go time! I have even typed up my list of emergency numbers in case I go into active labor while I am working. I have also started our Birth Plan...knowing with these classes I will probably learn more and make some changes. The nesting on the home front hasn't started yet for me. I think once we get the nursery finished it will be easier for me to get into that groove. Courtney will more than likely do most of the cleaning while she is bored during the days...which is fine. I just hope I don't get antsy and want to do some myself.

The first girl from the Fall Pregnancy board on Baby Center had her baby yesterday, you know how that goes! We are going to start falling like dominos now....I think there were only about 10 other active ladies in front of us, so this time is going to fly by!

Until next time, I'm gonna eat some pop tarts :)
