Hot Hot Hot...the weather, that is ;-)



Hey Y'all :)

It's a whopping 104 degrees right now, so I am INSIDE watching movies and cleaning! I would much rather be at the beach landing a great tan-but maybe later when it cools down a bit :)

Pregnancy/Baby Update: I had my Glucose Tolerance Test for Gestational Diabetes and it came back normal! 108!!! Wahoooo!!!! Despite what some of you may think-I am negative....I'm just plain big. haha. Wait....Liam is just plain big. My Hemoglobin and Hematocrit continue to drop-so they have suggested an Iron supplement. We eat red meat about 3-4 times per week, but apparently that isn't enough. I feel like I can't get enough steak!!! Mmmm....cow :)

My doctor also said that the top of my uterus (sorry for grossing all of you out...haha) is about 2 inches higher than it should be. Which also just means Liam is giant. And even though Ginormo (Liam) is being a pain in the butt to carry-I know Zac is super proud to have a giant baby. haha. And for the best part....I only gained 5 pounds in 6 weeks!!! I was very proud of myself!!! I have hit my pregnancy goal weight, and I'm trying hard to maintain and slow down.

One of the PAs that we work with at the hospital thinks I won't make it past Labor Day. haha. I'm open to starting a bet for his actual date of birth. Whoever is closest wins the pool of money...haha!!!

I am keeping busy at work and same with Zac. We are both very excited for the upcoming week :) I have two days off and he has 4 days off. I'm super jealous, but oh well...someone has to go to work! lol    Zac has picked up a new hobby...surfing!!! Today was his first day out, I think he really likes it.  I'm glad he's getting into the local stuff around here. We've been walking the girls a lot at the beach lately-they LOVE it. I really, really love it in Topsail too :) It's an amazing place to live-even if it's at least a half an hour from shopping! I can't wait to have some maternity time off so I can enjoy the area again (more than just on the weekends)!!

I hope all is going well with you, out there :) Hope to see you soon!

Love,
Beth, Zac, Liam and the Girls :)
