Beautiful Vancouver

My lovely friend Brooke came to visit last month and we took some pictures of the beach while she was here. It was great fun. I thought I would post some here so you people back home could see how pretty it is here. :)

Update

I've been back to the dr several times and my blood pressure is staying normal, so that's very good. I have a stress test done today and Addie's heart and movements sounded really good. At one point I told the nurse "Oh ouch, shes pushing up and out really hard on my belly" and I took my hand and pushed back on her lightly and the nurse said "no dear, you are having a pretty strong contraction right now" I said "oh" and felt pretty silly. Ive been having those feelings a lot, didnt know they were contractions! She could tell on the monitor that I was having one, and how strong it was.
I hope Adalynn comes sooner than later!
23 days or less and we will be having a baby!

Long day...

Well I went to that appointment I was talking about, at 9:15 this morning and ended up being admitted to the hospital because my BP was high and there was a trace of protein in my urine and I had excessive swelling. They did some tests and everything came back normal. I am going back again in the morning. We will see what they say then. May have this baby sooner than I thought! I was having steady small contractions (that I could barely feel) and the baby's head has moved down into the pelvis.
More as soon as I find out...

3 weeks and 5 days left and counting!

Well here is the latest...
Im now 35 weeks and 6 days. The last time I was at the doctor she said I will need to be induced on April 20th if the baby does not come on her own before then. The reason is because I have gestational diabetes and am on insulin.
Here are two recent belly pics... try to ignore the nasty stretchies lol
So, I have diabetes appointment tomorrow and a doctors appointment Wednesday. We will see how it all goes then. Tata for now!

What the tree branch did...

One night at midnight, Duane went out to the car to see that a tree branch had fallen, from a massive tree and broken our windshield. Here are the wonderful pictures:
The stick next to the car is the one that did it, can you believe that????

My mom, the photographer

My mom came to visit us one last time before Addie is here. We had her take some pictures of Duane and I and I think they turned out really well. Here are some of my favorites (try to ignore the nasty stretch marks haha):

While my mom was here she also helped me get the nursery ready. Its almost finished, but here is a sneak peak:

Adalynn Taite at 29 weeks

It's been a while since I have posted anything so I will have to back track. Here are Addie's last 3d ultrasound pics:

Here is her beautiful ear hehe
Her foot... looks like it is not attached, kinda scary!
Awwww a frown

Here is a little smile for mommy and daddy
She looks so sleepy and a bit shy
And to end with a cute little smile
