25 weeks

Okay, 25 weeks and 1 day pregnant!  I can't believe it, it truly feels very surreal.  I just had another ultrasound and the baby is measuring about a week bigger and my cervix is still long and closed.  This week was a little weird for me because I passed up the 24 week 5 day mark which was when my twin boys were born 2 years ago.  After such a traumatic pregnancy and delivery and first three months of life, I am so grateful and thankful and filled with happiness that this pregnancy has been such a night and day difference from my last pregnancy.  I still have a VERY long way to go, but I wanted to express some excitement about surpassing such a meaningful milestone to me.

On a sour note, I failed my glucose challenge test which means I have to do the 3 hour glucose tolerance test to determine if I have gestational diabetes.  Thankfully only 1/3 of people who fail the 1 hour test actually have diabetes and I am an incredibly low risk (it was probably that totino's pizza I had for lunch), but I will be  a little anxious until I have the results from this longer test.

Finally September

I'll admit, I put up all this decor 2 weeks ago:-)  I couldn't help myself, fall means so much . . . . my husband's birthday, my birthday, my son's birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving all leading up to Christmas and our new baby's birthday!





I think that I will make a table runner for fall, I found some dark brown fabric and I have a bunch of burlap so maybe over the next few weekends I will take that on so I can bring some more texture and warmth to this table.

Middle pumpkin is soooo pretty in person all silvery in some light and gold in others, I love it! (a gift from my sister in law)



I love the colors for fall, everything is so warm!  I can't wait to go get my pumpkin candles for the season, its almost time to start baking!


This mirror needs a wreath for sure and maybe some cool letters or a framed sign for the table?

No halloween stuff out yet, that waits until October:-)  I'm already gearing up for Owen's 2nd birthday!
