26 Weeks Preggers!

I want to first apologize that I haven't been posting lately.  A lot of things have been going on during this pregnancy. I can't believe I haven't posted in a month!  So in the last month, I have been on and off of bed rest. I currently am on bed rest again.  I started to have contractions and they needed to stop them so they can me some meds and it worked. Luckily.  The medicine was not fun by any means but I'm happy it stopped me from going into labor.  I've been trying my hardest to listen and be a good girl on bed rest but with some much that needs to be done,  I find it hard to do.  I do have great friends who help me out so much.  My best friend from Ohio, Natalie, moved down here and kindly helps whenever I'm stressed out beyond belief.  She swoops in and saves the day.  With the hot Florida summer, comes lots of swelling so I'm starting to feel not so comfortable. I'm going to try Epsom salt in my bath. I hope it works!  Any suggestions are welcomed!

This week was also my baby shower.  (I'll be posting a blog just about my baby shower).  It was incredible and everything I could have wanted.   My family worked so hard to give me the best possible shower ever. I appreciate them more than they will ever know.  So stay tuned for the baby shower blog!

I also want to share a few things that I proudly put together for the baby: (Note: I am not handy at all so this is a huge deal for me).

So this is one of the best things ever invented.  I can take this everywhere with me since I'm coaching or when he needs to go to my mother in laws.  It will be a life saver. I can tell already.  I did have help putting this together. Once again, Natalie to the rescue. 

I am lucky enough to have family that rock! I have 2 of these. One for Ohio and one for Florida.  Stephanie (my sister in law) had this sent to me so I have one here in Florida. It makes my life so much easier.  I put this together all by myself and it felt amazing once I was done!
