Father's Day Fun.............................

Good times at the Stratman and Jones houses were had on Father's Day. I went to Mom and Dad's while Jerry and the girls spent the day with Papaw.
We ate hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta salad and yummy desserts!!!


Here is a picture of me stirring the pasta salad. Since I don't cook, this is a monumental moment.


Me at 27 weeks.................

As I type this I am entering my 28th week, only 12 to go. I failed the 1 hour glucose test of last week and had to do the 3 hour glucose test this past Weds................. and I passed. I was very relieved. As Anne has stated, this pregnancy has had its little quirks and we are not surprised when things appear abnormal. But as of today, I am doing good. It's getting harder to do things like sit up from laying down, bend over, breathe, etc. I am aware all of that will get worse before it gets better and will get better in about 12 weeks!!!!! I go to the doctor again on July 1st and will go every 2 weeks until my last month.

Okay, now on to the rest of Father's Day................ As I left Mom and Dad's, I had 2 little girls join me for an impromptu sleepover. Kamry and Arissa were coming to Aunt Carol's but not before we went to Jerry's house for a visit. We had a house full of girls.............. his niece, Courtney, Olivia, Chloe, Kamry, and Arissa. In true Jerry style, he took them each for a ride on the 4 wheeler. Of course his girls were all about it. They have been doing this since birth, but not Kamry and Arissa. This was a first for them. Kamry was not impressed but said she had fun. Arissa is still talking about how Awesome it was.

When they were done riding, we piled into 2 different cars and headed to the local park to play. We were there for a few hours and the kids all had a blast. They played in the creek, ate mullberries, tried to catch crawdads, and helped Jerry dam up the creek. Yes, he had fun too. The girls and I packed up and went to meet Kathy to get their sleepover bags and we were headed home. They got up with me the next morning and went to Summer school, getting to play on Webkinz the whole time. We came home, ate lunch, and they played in my little pool on the deck. Before we knew it, it was time to meet Kathy and for the girls to go home. They didn't want to go home. We told them summer isn't over and they can come back some time.
