Delta trip and pictures

So this Monday we woke up early and headed to Delta! We arrived a bit later than the rest of the family who all met at Grandpa's burial site and spent some time, but our trip was on the spur of the moment so we were late for the events. We got there a little after 1pm, when the BBQ began. Michelle, Val, Sherie, Doug, Sara, Sam, Valinda and Grandma J was there... then us of course!

They BBQ'ed hot dogs and had lots of chips dips and fruits! Adlanna loved the watermelon, and made a mess of her dress, but that's OK. After visiting and eating Adlanna found the red wagon and so aunt Valinda pulled her around the yard a bit, then uncle Val had his turn pulling Adlanna around, she couldn't get enough of the wagon rides!!!

She loved the flowers around the yard and ran back and forth smelling each one and picking them. Until daddy taught her to smell them and say EWWWWWWWWW.
Grammy Sherie got her to "pound" which she loves! She says flowers if I didn't already tell you, and Sara told her her name and as soon as Sara wasn't paying attention to her anymore she said SARA.










Adlanna soon figured out how to get the cooler open and stole ice cubes to feed the dog, one after another after another until Jetta didn't want anymore. HA HA HA.










After everyone packed up and left we ran to Grammy Sherie's house. We got some purple Salvia plants to transplant to our yard, played with giant bubbles and little bubbles, ran through the sprinklers, Adlanna ate some grape fruit from grampy Doug which turned her into his little shadow following him around the yard and copying everything he did. it was cute and I know Doug just couldn't stop smiling!

Grammy took some photos of Adlanna on the wagon, which was fun! (and the rest of us... this is the best shot your'all getting of the belly so stop asking!)

Why is Adlanna always in tank tops you ask... Well because all of her bigger clothes that fit don't have tags sewn inside to block the tagless tags from touching her back and making her break out and since my machine has been in the shop I haven't found time to do it, now the machine is back but the dang thing wont sew through 1 layer of flannel... so I might have to start hand sewing a million tags .. :( GRRRRRRRRRRRRR









WOW that belly is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













We went in and ate some food and then headed off back to Cedar. We made it home after dark in the rain, it was pouring!!!

Adlanna also learned how to Eskimo kiss, and doggie kiss. She says SORRY which is so dang cute! and Mine, yesterday she said ALL GONE plain as day! She is becoming quite the little helper and always wants to be included!


GD update:

I am officially annoyed! I am keeping a journal right... and adding up EVERY single thing I eat... (it's honestly easier than I thought and easier then it sounds because my mind is made up that it's best for the baby so i'm really not all that tempted, despite chris telling me i can take a bite here or there HA HA or despite my MIL temptimg me with SMORE (my fav) or chocolate pie over the weekend. JK)

Anyway, I might rant a little so hold on or skip ahead!

So I am being tight, I have 45carbs some meals and I only reach 36-39 most of the time, So basically I am ALWAYS under on my carbs, if I dont know an item I guess high to cover my butt. I do admit some meals it might be crap like pizza but it STILL is under my carb limit. ok with that said it's always the pizzaa meals that i'm low and the chicken breasts and veggies (just examples) that i'm high. It does not make one bit of sense to me and it's very frusterating!!!!!!!

Finally I decided that maybe I have too much fat in the diet that its holding the numbers high... so this morning I called the dietician (but the lady I have been working with is out of town) to see if someone could tell me a fat content I should be shooting for... to see if that help. Because I have my OB appointment on Monday and I don't want the Dr. giving up and just putting me on medicine especially if it's something I just didn't understand and am doing wrong!

So I got the sweetest lady ever CINDY who told me I could come in today if I wanted for her to see my diet journal and tell me what it might be... however if i have only been 12 (132 instead of <120) points high EVER and I am only over 1 meal a day or less then i'm fine and the OB should be fine. (although she did point out that my specific OB is pretty picky and might disagree!)

But all the stress about getting a high number no matter what I do like basically once a day.. is Very frusterating, and when its dinner and I am suppose to excersize when its dark... That's HARD because I am not about to walk around the block or 3 alone in the dark and Chris can't join me because the baby is asleep. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.........

Anyway I just wanted to say its easy to follow the diet but hard when the diet isn't working! Enough said, I have things to do today and i'm deciding if i want to run in and have her look at the diet, but since she was so nice and got me in tears *(YES I'M PREGO!!!!) then i'm not sure it's worth going in and until my OB really isn't ok... so maybe just monday I will know.

*besides I think he should be fine, because normally someone wouldn't know they are GD and even TRY the diet until 28weeks along and that's not a lot of time before baby is here and I am only 23weeks so I think he should be fine.*

Love you all, sorry to end on a downer... OH I can fix that, I have updated pics from Joane I am going to be posting and I am going to stay at my sisters house on Monday after the appointment for a week to go do fun things with all the kids since they are out of school, carnivals and such! YEAH!!!! a mini vacation might ease some stress.
