New Toy
I got a new toy (not a birthday gift, since James upgraded, too)...I'm still learning how to use it! If you have any tips/tricks or aps I need, let me know. Also, I'm trying to figure out how to blog from it, maybe if it is easier, then I'll blog more often!

30 weeks
Um, I am not sure what is scarier - 30 weeks or the fact that next week there will only be single digit weeks left to go....YIKES! That must explain the extreme nesting that has started and why I have bought baby a couple outfits.
The past couple weeks have been somewhat stressful, but I won't get into that here....Let's talk baby and fun stuff.....
The baby's room is painted - it doesn't have any flooring, but it is painted - thanks to my Baby Daddy ;)
We had a doctor appointment last week and everything looks great. I passed the glucose and anemia tests from the previous appointment. The heart beat was around 137ish. Hmm, could that be a boy?!?!?
I hit the 20 lb mark. Not sure if that is good or bad, but assume its okay as the doctor has mentioned anything.
The Dorito craving has subsided some, or maybe because I haven't bought them at the store lately, but I feel like I could eat pizza for dinner every night....or spicy food.
Just signed up for our childbirth class.
Bought these cuties at GAP for baby (they had 40% off the whole store on Monday - I got myself a long sleeve tee and a couple pairs of underwear. I'm trying a new style - to find out why - go here) I figured they were neutral enough and will keep little one warm in our cool Atlanta winter and our visit to frigid Ohio!
Baby is very active. The doctor said baby is lying across my belly right now, which would explain the jabs to the ribs AND my lower abdomen. I can't get over how strong some of the movements feel.
And last, but probably not least, I am definitely growing. The first picture is a little blurry but was a good shot of the bump. There were other pictures from last night, but they weren't as cute. I think I wore this same outfit for my 28th birthday, only difference is the jeans weren't maternity back then ;)
That's all for now!! More to come next week.

Books
My blog reading grandmother (yep - she reads my blog!!) read my post on needing some new books to read and sent me home with a few after our visit to Ohio in July. So far I have only read 1...
It was pretty good. A fun, quick read. I liked that it was set in Atlanta, so it was neat to "know" all the settings. (find it here at amazon)
The other one is below and hopefully I can start it soon. But my to do list seems to just keep growing and my time to get things done is getting shorter.
So thank you Grandma and I look forward to getting more books from you!!
(this is supposed to post on Sunday.....not sure what is going on with Blogger)

Apples - Love'em and Hate'em
I apparently have a love hate relationship with apples. I love to eat a good crispy, slightly sweet apple, especially in the Fall. But what I don't love is the impact they have on my digestion. They either have a mild impact - heartburn - or a stronger impact - let's just say its "move your feet or fill your seat."
The reaction is mild or non existent if eating them cooked. Guess that means I'll be baking with apples this Fall...I see an apple crisp in my future. Any great recipe recommendations??

Labor Day Weekend Recap
I started this post 21 days ago and in order to preserve the weekend in my online "diary" I am still going to finish it....sorry its a bit late.
Labor Day weekend was a blast!! Friday one of my best friends came to visit with her family. I was so excited to see them - and to hang out with my little god daughter - she's adorable - see below (and I think the trigger for my baby girl dream). Other than a great friendly visit the purpose of their visit was to attend the UNC - LSU Chick Fil A Kickoff Game. James went to UNC (think we have talked about that here) and friend's hubby is a HUGE LSU fan. To make Friday even more interesting, 4 of James' friends (my friends now too) from UNC came to spend the night before the game. Rather than feeding all of them, we ate at a restaurant close by. The girls left after dinner, and the boys stayed until after midnight. We enjoyed the rest of the evening catching up and chit-chatting. We were up early (the girls that is) on Saturday morning. D and I enjoyed the cooler temperatures and sat on the front porch with little A. It was so nice! The boys finally made it out of bed and rallied. James and C headed to the Ga Tech season opener and the other friends headed to checkin and set up the tailgate for the UNC game. D and I relaxed at the pool and then got ready to head to the game. Me in my Caroline blue, D&A in their purple. About halfway to the parking garage, I started to smell something and it wasn't exactly pleasant. We decided it was A's diaper, but thought we would wait until we parked.....Boy were we in for a surprise. It was a BLOWOUT of proportions I had never seen...up to the armpits. And off came the cute little LSU onesie!!! The final score was not in UNC's favor, but was somewhat to be expected given their current issues. We finally got home and in bed around 12:30 AM...another late night! Sunday was more relaxing. We went to the pool and planned to cookout with some other friends. Dinner was awesome as the weather was still fairly cool and we ate outside. After dinner, we played cards until 1:30 AM. Third late night of the weekend for this pregnant lady. D & family left Monday morning. It was sad to see them go, we had such a great time hanging out and are definitely looking forward to their next visit!!
After they left, James and I ate lunch and got settled on the couch - James to study and me to nap, all while watching US Open tennis. Let's just say between the hours of 11:30 AM and 6:00 PM, I alternated between sleep and watching tennis. I was a tired girl, but was definitely refreshed and enjoyed my nap!!
The only pictures from the weekend were from the pool, so I picked a couple I thought were cute!! Just love this little girl!!
(Hope her mommy doesn't get mad I posted pictures)
