Heidi Kukoly - Real Life, Real Talk

Holy smokes....29 weeks already and wrapping it up!  Next step...30! Can't believe how quickly time is flying by!  This week's been a pretty good week.  We've gotten some things done around the house that needed to get done, picked up our crib (yay!), had my sister over and she helped with a lot AND celebrated Thanksgiving!  Overall I'd say Success!  There is still a lot to do but things are happening and that's all that matters:)  E.J.'s been working so hard to get things done...I hope he knows how thankful I am for him...he's a good man.  I'm very lucky. Anyway, Thanksgiving was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing family since it had been a while!  It's a tradion that we go around the table and say what we're thankful for with multiple bottles of Cold Duck and under normal circumstances we get very loud and silly.  This year one of my cousins is also pregnant so the wild times were not quite as wild...  we did; however, ...

Oh what a week!  We got back from NJ on Monday night, after a 17 hour drive home.  Then I was busy catching up with work and home life.  This weekend we did go to the gun show and looked at some guns, which was fun.  After that I went to get us lunch and my brakes went out on my car though... E.J. had to come save the day and help me.  He drove the car home in manual so he could downshift and the brakes did work if you press them really hard but it's not in working condition now so we have to figure out how much that's going to cost and get it taken care of.  Just add that to our list of things to do.  Today I went to my mom's for Thanksgiving since they'll be out of town Thursday.  It was good to see everybody.  Little baby Emil was active so my mom, sister, nany and Aunt Jet were able to feel him moving around which was a lot of fun.  My sweet hubby stayed home to work on things around the house that he's trying ever so dilligentl...

And again...I'm behind!  It's Tuesday...  I should have updated this last Sunday, when I was still 27 weeks but that didn't happen.  Last week, on Wednesday, we went to NJ to handle E.J.'s aunt's passing.  We were there until Monday, which is when we drove home.  It was a very busy week and things are NOT going to slow down.  This is crunch time.  I do; however, have faith that we will get everything done.  Anyway, this sweet little baby boy is just growing and growing!!!  I am really starting to feel pregnant, physically.  My bump is growing, shirts are getting shorter and it's getting a little harder to breathe.  At first he was always so low and although I'm carrying him low somehow he's enjoying my upper bump...right under my rib cage.  He kicks, pokes, wiggles, flips, rolls and taps right up there...often!  It's funny.  I was telling E.J. I think he's found the unchartered territory and just exploring it ...

Well, 26 weeks already!  I think everybody calculates the trimesters differently but I believe this is pretty much my last week, and actually DAY, of my 2nd trimester!  I'm excited about that!  Just a little closer to meeting our sweet son.  Holy smokes...our SON.  It's weird to say that:)  Anyway, this week's been much like a roller coaster.  Wednesday we had a great doctor's appointment and E.J. was with me because I had to do my glucose test.  Thursday I received a call that I failed.  Yes, failed.  I was blown away!  So, now I get to do the 3 hour test tomorrow morning while I do my work conference calls...I have heard a lot of people fail the first one and then pass the 3 hour so I'm optimistic.  I've done a little research on gestational diabetes and I definitely don't want it!  We celebrated Halloween and that was fun! We always dress up and pass out candy.  This year we just didn't do all the decorations but i...
