32 weeks down...only 8 to go!

You guys...8 weeks left!?!?!  That seems so close, but soooo far away at the same time!  Gotta really starting thinking about names and such!!

At 32 weeks baby weighs about 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space.  Baby C is gaining roughly half a pound a week at this point.  In fact, baby will gain a third to half of it's birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she/he fattens up for survival outside the womb. Baby now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz) and her/his skin is becoming soft and smooth as it plumps up in preparation for birth.

Turning Brynn's car seat

The day has come where we finally have to turn Brynn around in her car seat.  She has been rear facing since, well, since she was born and came home from the hospital.  She was nearing the height limit for rear facing on her seat, so today was the day!  I love this progression of pictures she goes from being not quite sure, to liking the view, to being giddy and silly!

And we celebrated the milestone with a trip for donuts!  She was a happy camper!

Newport Beach fun!

For a last little get away before summer ended we headed down to Newport Beach for some fun in the sun!  And for Scott's birthday!  {Be prepared for lots of pics!}

 The view from the hotel!

 We visited with friends and went on their boat around the lake.

Brynn got to hang out with one of her besties, Hannah!

 Taking the ferry over to Balboa Island.

 Ferry ride

 Scott and Brynn riding the ferris wheel...Brynn loved it!

 Me and Evan riding...he didn't like it.  

Wanted to get off almost as soon as it started!

 Brynn got to jump on the giant trampoline.

Here she is with her harness on waiting for her turn!

 Shaved ice

Yummy!

Beautiful day and lots of people out enjoying it!

Me and my boy!

Checking out the sand

She loved playing in the sand!

Didn't so much like when the water came up and got her feet all wet.

The Birthday boy enjoying dinner at Duke's!

The kids helping blow out the candle.

Playing in the sand after dinner.

The kiddos enjoying some pool time at the hotel!

Evan being goofy.

Taking a nap after all the swimming and before dinner.

It was a nice getaway and we all enjoy some time away to rest and recharge.  Our last little trip as a family of four!

Gestational Diabetes!!!

 I took the 1 hour screening test on the 2nd and my number came back high by 4 points!  I honestly wasn't surprised to have failed the 1 hour because I haven't passed it with either of the other two pregnancies!  I mean it would have been nice, but such is life.  Onto the 3 hour...

I took the 3 hour test on the 7th and got a call from my OB the next day.  Not good news!  I was over on two of the four blood draws {one of them by 1 point and the other by 7 points}!  So close, but gestational diabetes it is again!  Bummer!  More doctors appointments, more monitoring, more ultrasounds, and that dreaded modified diet.  I can do this....again!

Last day of summer camp!

Today was the last day of Brynn's summer camp.  Lots of crafts, singing, playing and making friends!  She absolutely loved going and I think we will definitely be signing her up next summer!

Brynn and her best bud, Riley!
