32 Week Checkup, Christmas Lists, the loft and a few other updates!

I know I am amidst a lot of big things right now...so I figured a singular update was easier than trying to fit in several different posts!  Here comes some updates from the Linley Crew parts of the world!


Checkups!
The Tuesday before last, before Owen and I began ADAPT, I went to my 31/32 week checkup for Greyson.  Boy was this one WAY more relaxing than the last...thank you God for calming my nerves!  At this appointment we learned that my glucose test and blood work look wonderful.  He said my numbers look better than normal for a pregnant woman in the areas of glucose and iron and a few other things.  My blood pressure was slightly elevated from my normal, but he said not to worry too much about it at this point...b/c everything else looks so good.  Greyson's heartbeat was 129/130 and nice and steady (YAY!).  He is also guessing his weight between 3 and a half to 4 pounds...which makes him a big boy...and Dr. T said he could likely be our biggest!  We go back December 4 for another check in and he said I had another five weeks of not going into labor (they will stop it). After that they will just do a c-section!  I'm fine and dandy just waiting till his 40 week due date...so he is as healthy as possible!  Hang in there G.  We're doing good.  Let's keep it up!  Oh and here's a belly shot!!  2 months and counting folks.


Momma splurges
I took a trip to Target last week...and between the One Spot aisle and my love for hats and scarves I had quite an amazing trip.  I left with this new bad boy and could not be more excited! I think accessories are a pregnant girls best friend!!

I also happened to stop for this on my way.  Probably not a healthy, thoughtful splurge...but oh so delicious!!

More Cookie Stops!


What our first couple days of therapy looked like!!
We've gotten very used to our life with Mom at home.  So heading into a "gone all day" scenario was interesting!!  But we were prepared with some pre-made meals, laundry caught up etc.  Regardless I snapped a few pictures to help remind me where we were with these days.  Something tells me photos or not, I'll never forget my experience!

Owen crashed about 5 minutes after our second day!

One wiped Momma who wished she could have napped on the ride home!
I left Coop a note and snack in his Lightning McQueen backpack!  I am missing my little crazy one :)
Homework...there have been worksheets and homework to sit down to a few nights. I usually organized it and left it till the kids were in bed.  Boy did I feel like I was back in college!

Loft Reno Progress
HELLO!!!  Progress abounds!!!  Here are some updated photos of the space...with more to come!!  Also carpet installation and actual, colored paints have happened.  We still have a pretty good list of to do's...but considering how far we've come...it's serious progress folks.  Serious progress.  And I could not be happier!!!




Christmas List Making
The boys have been really into the toy catalogs that have come in the mail for Christmas this year!  Owen is getting so big and so mature...that this year we decided to start a real, honest to goodness Christmas list.  I titled it Owen's Santa Wish List...and we began cutting pictures he's seen out of magazine and glueing them to his list.  He is so visual it's a fun thing for him and it honestly is a great way to keep track of the things he's wishing for.  He even reminds us sometimes...Mom, I want to put that on my list.  We started one for Cooper too and it's funny b/c Owen thinks he needs to add to his as well!
