24 weeks

I had my glucose test today. Here's hoping the results come back

After my doctor's appointment today, they scheduled my "next few appointments" aka ALL the appointments until AFTER my due date. That's right, I have an appointment scheduled on November 15. The receptionist said, "Don't worry, if you don't need that appointment, we'll cancel it for you." (Baby WiKS, please make it so they have to cancel that last one!)

That made it really real...seeing the next few months plotted out as a list of appointments and weeks and doctors.

November will be here before we know it!

happy 4th of july!

next year, we'll be celebrating baby's first independence day.

I thought a lot today about my independence days growing up. I remember wanting to wear a red, white and blue outfit every year. I'm pretty sure there were a few years where I even color-coordinated my socks. I remember making sugar cookies with my mom and my sister and decorating them in red, white and blue icing, then meticulously laying them into the pan to look like a flag. (and I remember the blue tongue I had from eating said icing during the decorating process.) I remember crown point parades and lots of candy and "I love a parade!" and fireworks at the fairgrounds.

I can't wait to start traditions with this little baby.
