Showers, Showers EveryWhere!

No - Not Rain! Did I mention Charlie and I decided to get pregnant in the historically HOTTEST summer on record, not to mention the DRYEST. We have hardly had ANY rain. I'm talking about the kind of showers that shower you in GIFTS! Can I just say...I am EXCITED!! :) We have a shower on Oct 1st with Charlie's coworkers, my shower with all my friends and family on Oct 3rd, and another shower on Oct 15th with my work peeps! Wahoo!! :) So exciting. We are truly loved by SO many, and Addyson will know the love of all these wonderful people. I just can't wait!

Updated Avery Pic

Miss Avery is growing like a little weed. Her 2 month doc appointment is next Thursday...that's right folks, she turns 8 weeks old tomorrow! I can't BELIEVE it. She is SUCH a cutie, and we love hanging out with her, her Mommy and her Daddy! Here's an updated pic of one of my FAVORITE nieces!

Appts - Gestational Diabetes Test!

OY! I am not keeping up with this thing like I wanted to. Shame on me. Monday, August 31st, I went in for my 1 hour Gestational Diabetes test. It consisted of drinking a dixie cup full of flat orange crush soda (well, that's what it tasted like anyway), visit with the doctor for the "monthly appointment", finish waiting the an hour, and then have my blood drawn. If you know me, needles are NOT my thing! So, I suffered through, after all, I was going to pass this thing with FLYING colors! NOT! Wednesday the nurse called me and told me I failed! And we aren't talking I kinda failed...I failed! 140 is the cut off, I scored a 158! Dang it! So, back to the doctor on Thursday, September 3rd, for the 3 hour test! This time I didn't drag Charlie with me, poor guy. So I got there at my 8:30 time slot, (mind you I hadn't had ANYTHING to eat or drink since about 9:30pm on Wednesday night), and the girl called me back. I had to pass the initial test, a finger prick sugar test, before we could even get going. I scored an 84 on that test, not too shabby! So, we started the 3 hour test. My blood was drawn, and I was sent to drink 3 times as much flat orange crush soda than on Monday! Did I mention I HATE orange flavored ANYTHING. Bleck, that stuff was NASTY! I drank the HORRID drink, and went to sit in the comfy recliner they had special for us "Mommies that fail the 1hour test"! I took my laptop, but of course...NO internet connection! booo!!! I played solitare and Mahjong Tiles the whole time, while texting with Micah, Charlie and Crystal. Honestly, it all went by pretty fast, considering. I had another blood draw at 9:30, another at 10:30, and the final one at 11:30! Yep, I'm bruised up pretty good. I got my results that Friday and passed with flying colors. Whew. I would have missed my chocolate ice cream.

Addy's Room

We haven't really started on Addy's room yet - but the ideas are starting!!

This is the bedding we chose - Zootopia! It is kinda neutral, gender-wise, but SUPER cute!


This is her crib...


The room will have a green bottom, with a chair rail. Her crib will go in the bonus room next to us for awhile, but we still want to decorate the room that she will ultimately stay in. We will hopefully get to start working on that in the next couple weeks. I'm going to get some uppercase living letters for the bonus room...and wooden letters of some kind for her room. Going to try and use the green color for the most of the stuff, but use the orange as an accent. (can't get enough orange!) :)

Random Appt. August 13th!

I have been having some pelvic pain since last Friday, and I wasn't sure what it was. I decided to suck it up and go ahead and call the doctor. All the doctors were out of the office, except the DUDE doctor! Oy. It was actually not too bad, he was a nice guy, laid back. I found out I have Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD). Looks like it is only going to get worse. Boo! I have gained another 4 pounds (BUT it was right after lunch! ;)) So, that's 14 total so far.

It is SOOO hot right now, Fall can not come fast enough. 100+ degree heat EVERYDAY! Yuck. I'm not trying to rush this month (August), but September is our Concan trip, and it can't get here fast enough!

July 18th - Addy's BFF is here!

Avery Reese Craddock was born on Saturday, July 18th at 11:51pm.
She weighed in at 6lbs 15oz. and was 18 3/4" long.
Micah is doing great, and will hopefully get to come home on Tuesday!

July 9th - Anatomy Scan at the Doc's Office.

So, I'm already a HORRIBLE Mommy! I haven't updated this thing lately. Oy! Since the Anatomy Scan, I turned the big 3-0! Holy CRAP! We are in the process of MOVING...and staying with Mom and Dad in the meantime. Fingers crossed the house gets done soon, I have so much to do in there.

Anyway, back to Addy! Her anatomy scan went GREAT. She wiggled around and showed all the right parts at the right time. Looks like she might have my legs...thick thighs for such a young'in. LOL. All measurements look great. And yep - SHE is still a SHE! Next appt is on August 6th. Nothing more to report, except that we got some really great new ultrasound pics of her!
