28 week Prenatal appt

YAY!!!!! Found out today that my Glucose levels are A-OK so no worries about Gestational Diabetes, but I do have a first in my life.  I am slightly anemic.  Never have had to deal with anemia but since it is only slight we are figuring it is the fact that that I don't regularly remember to take my pre-natal.  I have to try and do better.

Heartbeat and size of baby are still good and baby is still measuring big for how far along we are but nothing to worry about.

Camping at 28 weeks along

Well I survived our second camping trip of the year and the second while pregnant.  We spent this trip up at Placerville, ID (a former mining town from during the gold rush days).  This is the second year we have been up in Placerville to help with the Idaho Road Rally and like last year it was tons of fun.  Unfortunately, also like last year it was rainy, windy and cold.  I think we went through all the seasons on Saturday (we had snow in the early AM, rain off and on all day, a spot of hail, a wee bit of sunshine and windy ALL DAY LONG).  This is semi-primitive camping at its best we do have access to portapotty's but the actual campground is private property that the owner agrees to let the Road Rally drivers and volunteers camp on for the weekend. 

There are 3 stages of the race (Harris Creek, Alder Creek and Grimes Pass).  This year we got to be road guards on the Alder Creek stage which had 4 runs (2 Saturday and 2 Sunday).  What an awesome way to see the race from actually down on the roads, you see drifts, near accidents and this year sadly we saw a car overheat Saturday and have to sit for most of the race losing time.  It was nice to get to chat with the driver and co-driver but would have liked them to do better in the race.  Luckily the only accidents I heard of were 1 car that spun around and hit either a tree or the side of the mountain and the other was one of the Stage Captains (he totally ruined a flat tire on his truck).  Definitely lots of fun and hope we can find a way to go next year even tho we will have an 8-10 month old baby.
