As Promised!

I promised you guys a happy blog, so here it is! I actually am feeling a lot better. I had my doctor's appointment on Thursday. He had a good look at my feet and said "They look bad, but they are probably going to get much worse". To which I replied "If so, you are going to have to cut them off!". But there was no protein in my urine, which is good. My blood pressure was high, but we have taken it several times since then and it has been fine. He told my mom to take it every day and make sure it doesn't get up any higher. I think it may have just been from doctor's office anxiety! Mom got to hear Gabriel's heartbeat and it was good, in the 140s. I find out the results from the gestational diabetes test on Tuesday. I did get a doctor's note for my shoes, you could tell he thought it was ridiculous that I even needed a note. He was like "where do you work" and "have the people there seen your feet"??? It was funny and I now have permission to wear "whatever shoes I desire" due to the "significant swelling in my feet"!!!! I wore my rainbows on Friday and I swear my feet felt SO much better. It makes such a difference not to have shoes rubbing up against the side of your swollen feet all day :)

Friday night Cedric and I had dinner with my parents, Zach and Nicole, and Aunt Janie at Chili's...Yesterday, I decided to do nothing but what I wanted to do. Went for a pedicure in the morning, my toes look very good! Then I headed to the new Harris Teeter, which is about 2 miles from our house. It also has a Starbucks, so of course I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Bought some St. Pauli Girls N/A beer, which I have decided is truly the best out of all those I have tasted. Also bought some California Rolls for lunch (no raw fish of course!). Then I spent the afternoon watching the UNC/South Carolina game on TV. We played really good, and were in a position to win at the end of the game. Last night, I made pumpkin dip for the baby shower we have this afternoon and then Ceddy and I watched some more college football. All in all, a very relaxing day which was just what I intended.

The wicker rocker is done and we are working on the painting the footstool that goes along with it. It turned out BEAUTIFUL and is very comfortable. Much prettier than any of the gliders or rockers I have seen in stores. Check it out!



We also put Gabriel's name up over the built in bookcase:





We bought this little pilot outfit, it is one of my favorites!!



Also, got this sign put up over one of the doors



Only 2 1/2 more months to go!!!!!!!
