Weeks 27 and 28

The past 2 weeks have flown by! The first 2 weeks of my summer vacation have been very busy. I am so thankful it is summer as I am starting to get very tired and it's becoming very hard doing things and getting around. I lose my breath easily. I can tell Baby Moore is growing and growing each day and is very active. Sometimes I can watch my stomach and see my shirt pop out. It's very entertaining! I think it's running out of room to move around. Now I start going every 2 weeks for dr appts. Last week I did the glucose test to test for Gestational Diabetes. Well, I didn't pass. You had to be 140 or lower and my number was 147 so I was barely over. So I had to go to the hospital yesterday and do the 4 hr blood test. I couldn't eat 12 hrs prior to the test. I went in at 6 am and had to have my blood drawn right away to make sure my blood sugar was ok to begin. Then I had to drink double of the orange liquid-YUM! Not so much! Then have my blood drawn every hr after that for 3 hrs. By the end I was very shaky. Pregnant woman + fasting don't mix if you ask me! I told the nurse that too, she thought it was hilarious. I found out later that day that I passed. It was a huge relief! I found out that I had to do this blood test before we left for vacation and I wouldn't be able to do it until I returned so I worried about it a lot. I'm so glad it's done!

We were very fortunate to go on a family vacation last week. Troy, mom, Justin, and I went to Lake of the Ozarks. It was wonderful and very relaxing! Just what I needed! We stayed in a beautiful condo right on the lake. It had a pool so I was very content laying out and spending time in the pool. I made one of the best investments....I purchased a noodle to float on! It was so relaxing! Troy and Justin thought it was hilarious that I blended in with all the kids. While I was enjoying the pool, they went golfing at 2 of the golf courses and said they were very nice. At night we enjoyed restaurants on the lake. I loved the atmosphere at those places. It was also very nice to get away from the rain. It rained a couple times, but cleared up within 15 mins. Osage Beach also has a great outlet mall so we took advantage of that a couple days. There was a lot to do there.

One of the days, the Kemerlings came and visited us. They are very good friends of ours that used to live in Conrad. They now live in Missouri so they came to spend the day with us. That night the boys rode go carts...that was comedy! Then we went to Pirates Cove and did some miniature golf. One of the pictures below shows Justin and Troy posed. They both got a hole-in-one and thought they needed a picture taken. Aubrey is also pregnant and due 2 weeks after me. You can see the picture of us and our bellies below:) It was great spending time with them!

Below are some pictures of vacation. Have a great week!
