1st full week of summer

I had one big goal this week and that was to get Tanner's baby book caught up
and one started for the baby on the way!

I have been on the search for a book that was girly-oriented. So, I looked online, Barnes & Noble, and Borders. I finally settled on the very same book that I had for Tanner. It isn't girly at all, but quite gender-neutral. Here are some reasons why I caved and gave up the search for a different book:

1. I am comfortable and familiar with it.

2. I really like all of the pages with extra info that NO other book included. Plus, a clear pouch in the back for extras.

3. There are only two pages that I will not use. In Tanner's book, I printed off my own page of info and placed it directly on the page with scrapbook stuff.

4. There are TONS of pages for various pictures: ultrasounds, pregnant mommy pics, each month of the 1st year, hospital pics, baby pics with family and friends, holidays, vacations, family tree, 1st birthday, and other "firsts."

5. Plus, it records info from pre-natal through preschool.

I have already filled out as much as I can for baby girl prior to her getting here! Now, I need to get caught up on pictures in Tanner's book. Wallets fit best as I can fit more of them.

Tobin was off for three days this week, so we were able to squeeze in a trip to the zoo. It was sort of bad timing because Tanner had just had some Tylenol due to his pain from the 12 mo. shots he received the day before. This made him fairly lethargic for the 1st hour at the zoo, then he simply crashed. It was a nice day though...about 73 degrees and sunny.

I have wonderful news concerning my 4-hour Glucola test. I PASSED! All of my results were within normal levels, so I don't have to change my diet. Unfortunately, I have to take the test again sometime later on in the pregnancy. But, for now....YAY!

  2. Yes, way to go with baby books! Glad it is underway and moving along. At least you got some good exercise at the zoo, and Tanner surely enjoyed the visual stimulation of the event!

  3. Thanks guys! I am making progress on Tanner's. I have most of the pics developed. Now it is just a matter of getting them adhered to each page.

    Next job...packing up my scrapbook area. :(

  5. Emily: Let's stay in touch...maybe Friday? The jogging stroller was a freebie from a friend. I'll text her and find out.

    Cin: Thanks! I keep noticing that I am not in many pics b/c I am typically the one WITH the camera!
