32 Weeks

32 Weeks 
Wow, I feel huge and swollen! Luckily no swollen ankles, feet, or fingers quite yet though. Last week he was the size of a pineapple and this week he is some kind of squash... I think a pineapple is bigger than a squash but oh well! We start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now. Last week they were a little worried about my blood pressure - it was higher than usual. I know exactly why that is though - as I was talking back from the bathroom I saw a lady getting her blood taken. UGH! Which due do my fear of needles almost made me pass out right there but I pulled myself together and made if back to the waiting room.  A couple minutes later they were taking my blood pressure - which under the circumstances was high! So I think it was that since after the appointment Michael I went to Walmart and did the blood pressure thing and it was normal and has been every since. Everything is good with Jackson - he is rolling and kicking like crazy every day. :) 


Here are some pictures of some of our new friends. We have a cardinal that loves the cherry tree out back and 5 hummingbirds that are constantly and I mean constantly zooming around the feeder. 



This little guy was our 1st one to the feeder - he sits on my blueberry bushes and guards the feeder from the other hummingbirds. I think this may be the one I saved yesterday. I was sitting in the front room when I heard the buzzing of wings and then a smack! I looked down and there was a little hummingbird on the ground. I was ready to cry over his tiny body but he was alive! :) I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a towel, and scooped him up. I think this may have been a once in a lifetime experience to hold a hummingbird. As soon as I ran him out the door I opened up my hands and he zoomed away. 

Here they are - 4 feeding at the same time. Crazy little things! 

This guy likes to hang from the gutter and guard the feeder from above. They are so funny to watch!

  1. That's funny about the blood pressure thing. I was the same way. It was higher than normal once and it freaked me out. After that I was so stressed at every appointment that it was sky high. I tried to relax but couldn't. I was a panic near the end. haha go figure. Luckily the dr was never really worried. I hope yours stays low next time and you can relax. : ) You're looking great! Enjoy the cooler weather!
