Well I wrote this before our Thanksgiving weekend away so I’m back I’m a little outdated but here goes nothing!
The week before Thanksgiving we had a busy, busy week and even busier weekend! I think by my legs were just walking in circles without my mind realizing where they were even going by the end of each night! They were just used to being in motion at that point!
The earlier part of the week started off a bit rocky when I got a phone call Monday morning that Lola and I’s blood work came back concluding I was anemic (which they say is very normal especially in this stage of pregnancy because my body is trying to catch up with all the extra blood flow i am producing for her) and it also showed I needed further testing to rule out Gestational diabetes…
This part was not so fun! It was a 3 hour cycle of blood work after fasting the night before and then chugging more of the glucose….
No problem I thought and I REALLY did think it would be fine and I promised Lou I would be able to go to this appointment, my very first appointment, alone, seeing as it was so long and he JUST started his new job…
That didn’t last long….
I was there an hour and a half and he had called over and over to check on me and could tell i wasn’t feeling well, I was nauseous and lightheaded trying desperately not throw up so i could complete the testing…. Then I heard my favorite voice enter the separate waiting room I was in saying “Jen?”…
I was so relieved and happy it was ridiculous! Hey at least i tried to be a grown up about it! Poor guy he even got a ticket on the way to see me!
I swear within 30 minutes of him being there I felt cured! 
I couldn’t wait to get something in my stomach when i finished the test so i managed to go ahead and steal Lou away for that too, apparently Lola does not like when i skip a meal!! 
Lou decided to implement more red meat and greens into my diet so steak it is and Billy decided to send me CHEWABLE calcium pills in the mail….. do i not have the two sweetest boys in my life!?
Were working on getting my iron up and the good news is that I passed 3 out of the 4 blood test for diabetes so Lola and I are in the clear! 
30 weeks down and this little girl is getting busier and busier!
I have to say i do love her kicks, in the morning she wakes up when i do now!
Her mama has been getting busy on maternity picture props and her nursery too! 
Tara couldn’t have come at a better time for her Atlanta audit, she actually was working close enough to our house this time to stay with us all week and we loved it! 
The weekend brought on even more craft projects as usual!
FYI: The first day Tara was at my house I woke up to a snapchat that said “we are re-doing that this weekend” with a picture of the dresser in our guest bedroom… I admit it’s pretty terrible!
So Saturday came and bright and early Tara was ready to go….
THRIFTING of course (even though i made her stay up until 2 am totally changing the guest bedroom around- by pointing my finger and directing where each piece of furniture should go)! 
We got an big 7$ mirror, small 4$ mirror and a 6 $ basket! 
We forgot to take a “real” before picture of this beauty but it wasn’t much to look at i promise… I had actually stolen it from Tara when we were in college!
I guess i did pretty good, taking it from her AND having her re-do it for me… 
Wah-la!
Then it was time to turn this door we found in the attic into a matching headboard!
We found a piece of trim in the garage that the previous owners left and thought it would be a nice touch to add to it!
We also finished and made a chalkboard and nightstand to match (pictured above)!
I told you we were busy!
Lastly I decided after Tarsa left to paint the changing table she had bought for Lola to match the rest of Lola’s furniture in her room… PINK!
Here’s a before and after…
Love? We do, it’s our new hangout, Alex say’s I go in there every night to “re-do” something…. I’m a little antsy! In my defense Milly sits in there every single day and Alex comes home from work and goes straight to her room these days…
So it’s not just me!
We can’t wait until you get here Little Miss Lola! We had your 3D picture taken this week and after going back for the second visit since you love to have your hands up by your face and we couldn’t see anything at your first visit we learned again you are in charge once again….. this time you decided to curl up like a pretzel with your hands AND feet by your face!
You win Lola, I guess you want to leave some parts of you as a surprise which is just fine with me! You do have very cute little feet though!
