Week 31 + Office Visit

Week 31 wasn't that bad.  It was kind of relaxing actually because I only had one leg cramp this whole week.  I didn't really feel nauseous at all either except yesterday when I went to my office visit.  Other than that I really don't have anything to complain about.  =)  However, baby has been so active lately.  I see him moving across my belly on a regular basis now and he's getting to be so big.  I can nearly breath now because he's putting so much pressure on my diaphragm.  He's also so big that I get full really quick and end up getting hungry really often.  I eat little meals 5 to 6 times a day now because I always end up feeling full and then hungry a little while later.  I LOVE MY LITTLE MAN!

I had to drive myself to my office visit yesterday by myself.  My husband didn't take off because he didn't work Monday which was July 4th and he didn't want to miss work Thursday so I had to go by myself.  Our Sentra is a  manual and I can't drive manual so we borrowed his mothers Corolla which his brother had an accident with a few months back.  Since my husbands brother has been driving it around we thought it was fine.  Man were we forever wrong!

From 0 to 50 mph it's pretty much fine but from 55 to 60 mph the steering wheel starts shaking.  I had to take the highway to get to Fort Smith so you can only imagine how bad it was and it was not a fun ride.  I couldn't even get up to 70 mph without the whole car shaking.  I mean it literally the whole car was shaking.  The steering wheel shook so bad my arms were basically jumping around in the air.  The passenger seat was bouncing back and forth, the front windshield looked like it was about to shatter, and I swear at one point I heard metal clanking somewhere.  It was just insane!

When I finally got to the clinic I was so happy to be out of the car and somewhere safe!  I signed in at the counter at about 9:50 and I had to wait a little bit longer than an hour.  I had a slight sugar rush crash when I got there but it didn't last long and it wasn't that intense, but I'm pretty sure it was just the car ride that made me sick.  The computer systems for the clinic was down for a little bit but they got it back up in no time.  My office visit was quick and I was out of there within ten minutes after they took my weight and blood pressure.

The car ride home wasn't any smoother then the car ride to Fort Smith.  It was actually worse!  It was around 11:30  when I got on the highway meaning there were more vehicles including semis.  It wasn't a pretty ride home but at the very least I made it back.  I don't want to borrow that car ever again.  However, if worse comes to worse...I don't think I'm going to have a choice.  =(

What I Bought This Weekend

This weekend my husband and I went to my moms house.  Every time we go to my moms house we always end up going to Hot Springs for something.  Well my brother told us that Petco was having their $10 per gallon sale and that he got his 55 gallon.  I think they have the this sale once a year but I'm not sure because they don't ever put it up on the internet or advertise the sale just in general.  My husband was so excited that he jumped at the chance to go to Hot Springs.

Last year my husband got a 20 gallon for $20.00 plus tax.  He originally wanted a 40 gallon but last year they ran out of stock before we even got there.  But that was the Petco in Fort Smith.  However, this year we just ended up being in Hot Springs during their sale so we dropped by.  Yes, we finally bought him his 40 gallon and obviously if he gets a 40 gallon he's going to "need" his 40 gallon stand.  His stand was $59.99 and the original price on the 40 gallon was $109.99.  Our final total for just the 40 gallon and the stand was $113.59.  We saved about $70 buying his tank during this sale which I'm so glad they have every year.  I would hate to pay full price and I probably would never pay full price if I had to.  But I'm glad he got his 40 gallon cause now he doesn't bug me about it anymore.

As soon as my husband got home Monday night he set up the tank and the stand.  Our Kois are a little spooked still but I think it's just because they aren't use to the big tank yet.  I'm pretty sure once they get use to their new tank they'll be back to normal trying to get me to feed them every second of every day.

I finally got my new camera this weekend too.  I've been wanting this camera since I saw it come out a few years back and I never got the chance to buy it because it was always out of stock.  This weekend we went to Wal-Mart in Hot Spring on Albert Pike and there it was.  The original price was $89.00 but it was on sale for $79.00.  I was so happy!  I got my Samsung TL205!  It has 12.2 megapixels, 1.5" front LCD, smart auto, and 3x optical zoom.  The box said that the camera was supposed to be silver but when I opened it...it was black.  This was the last one they had so I didn't want to return it and I prefer black cameras because they're more neutral so I didn't mind it at all.  My husband was happy I was happy because I've been bugging him about this camera for ages now and we finally got it!  This weekend I think is the best ever.  We both got what we've been wanting for the longest time!

July Fourth Weekend

Friday evening when my husband got back he asked to go camping.  I was like WHAT????  He ended telling me that a few of his work buddies were gonna go camping and he wanted to go.  Don't ask me how or why but I always end up giving up arguing with him because it's just so pointless.

We ended making a trip to Wal-Mart to go get some essential camping gear.  The most important thing...a tent.  We don't own one because we moved out of my husbands parent's house not too long ago and haven't had the time to go camping or anything so we ended up buying a 10 x 8 tent that can fit up to six people or two queen sized beds.  I wanted to get a smaller one but the Wal-Mart in Ozark is pretty small so that was the only size they carried and so that's the size we bought.  I think it was almost sixty dollars but I'm not sure.  It's easy to set up and easy to take down so it was definitely worth the money.

 Our sixty dollar tent.

We bought some other essentials like food, drinks, watermelon, snacks, and of course SMORES!  Camping isn't camping if there aren't any smores so we got ourselves some graham crackers, Hershey's chocolate, and marshmallows!  I was telling my husband that I knew his friends were going to forget to bring food, drinks, and of course toilet paper.  Funny thing was...I was completely right.  The only thing they did bring was some "drinks" a tent, and a mini grill.  We still had an awesome night but I didn't get much sleep.  My husbands work buddies stayed up most of the night talking, drinking, and for some weird reason swimming in the middle of the night slash early morning.

 I took this picture of the river in the morning. Very pretty scenery.

SMORES and hot dog my husband made for me...YUMMY!

husband decided to go cheap and buy bread instead of normal hot dog buns..

this creepy crawly was wandering around our cars...almost stepped on it

As soon as my husbands work buddies went to bed the sky was starting to light up so my husband decided to go fishing while I slept in.  I only slept an hour or two longer before I ended getting hungry and getting up.  When I got up my husband was just starting to come back from giving up on fishing.  He made me a  couple of hot dogs and some smores and I was happy.

We ended coming home around one or two in the afternoon to take a shower and hit the road to my moms house.  My mom made egg rolls!  For some reason she had some really weird looking wraps that I've never seen her use before.  She said the Asian store she went to had no regular egg roll wrappers so she bought the only kind that they had.  It was very doughy and thick like the ones you see at Asian restaurants but ten times better tasting.  I love my moms cooking!  I baked a strawberry flavored cake and covered it with whipped cream and added little pink and yellow sprinkles all around.  I didn't get to take a photo of it but it was tasty!

 Yummy Egg Rolls!

Nothing beats a ripe, red, juicy, sweet watermelon!

Sunday my husband and I filled up two buckets consisting of water balloons.  My brothers and my husband had a water balloon fight which was kind of interesting.  I laughed the whole time they were playing.  They had teams and free for all games.  Monday we didn't do much though.  My husband had to leave me at my moms house so I could go work out some stuff with our insurance company while he went home so he could work the next day.

Week 30

Week number 30 I think was the worst week by far for all my previous weeks of pregnancy.  During this week I've been getting sugar highs really easily and my legs have been cramping like crazy at night.  Which I hate both!

At first the leg cramps came only once or twice during the night.  As the week progressed I seemed to get more leg cramps at night.  It got to the point where I ate a butt load of bananas just to avoid getting cramps.  Which is okay too because I love bananas in general but I didn't like eating bananas for my cramps.  However, the bananas did help.  I don't get leg cramps as often at night anymore since I started eating bananas but I'm trying not to eat too many either because too much potassium can cause cramps too.

My sugar highs are driving me crazy!  It doesn't take much for me to get one and I can't do much to stop it once it starts other then take a Tylenol.  I feel so nauseous and my head feels like its about to explode and I can feel my tummy turning.  And if that's not enough baby's kicking, squirming, and somersaults make me even more nauseous.  It's really the worse feeling ever.  I just hope I don't feel this way driving to my next appointment.  That will be bad.
