The big day is July 1st

So I had my doctor's appointment today. I had to do my glucose test. I'll know the results of that in a few days. I remember the drink tasting really bad but today it was good! It was like orange kool-aid. Maybe that's a bad sign! I'm gained another 2 pounds since my last visit 3 weeks ago. My doctor is always really impressed with my blood pressure, urine and weight. So if he's happy I'm happy. So my doctor asked me when I wanted to have my c-section. I said July 1st just because I'm due July 8th and that's a week early and it's a Tuesday so Bryan will be done working for the week. My doctor said, well we could even do it on June 30th! I said NO! I can't have another June birthday in my family! He laughed and said OK July 1st it is! June wasn't a very busy month until about 5 years ago. My Mom was the only June birthday. Well Carter was born on her birthday and then a year later, Coey was born just a few days before Carter's 1st birthday. He was 8 weeks early. So for the rest of our lives we will be trying to juggle Carter and Coey's birthday celebrations. So even though July 1st is just one day after June. I was determined to have this baby in July! I think it will be fun to have a July baby! 11 more weeks to go! Time is going by fast.

Yay! July will come pretty fast:) That entire first week in July is taken with birthdays in our family. Mine is the 2nd and Jenna's is the 5th. My due date was 07/07/07.

Yae Allison! July birthdays are good! Dylan's is July 5th & we always go to a park or something. And it's fun because we get to celebrate 2 days in a row, on the 4th and the 5th! Anyways, about the glucose thing, I always thought it tasted like orange soda and didn't mind it, so it's a good sign! I'm glad everything is going well!

Holy smokes, that's a lot of June birthday's. Our month is August. Both of Jonathan's parents (and he's an only child) and me. Crazy. Well I'm happy to hear the pregnancy is going well. Keep it up. Not much longer.

Yeah. July is a great time to be born. You're lucky to have summertime babies. You don't have to be stuck inside, worrying about RSV all winter!

And that's funny that you liked the drink! I had the hardest time getting that stuff down. Maybe they've changed the flavor.
