Life Update--It's been awhile

Busy Weekend

Okay, so I am still trying to get used to blogging. So sorry this has been a little while. It has been a very exciting couple months. In May we found out we are having a little girl. We are naming her Saydee Grace Byington. We can hardly wait for her to join us!
I have had a great pregnancy thus far. I am 30 weeks and not too many problems. I started out with heartburn, which I only get every once and a while now. I had a couple a couple weeks where my tailbone hurt and I had problems sitting, which made working a little difficult, but thankfully it wasn't too long. Since then I have entered into the swollen ankles stage. Some days they look like "kankles" as Adam would say. But it's worth it. I had a doctor's appointment last Monday and failed my glucose test, so tomorrow I have to do a three hour fasting glucose test. Hopefully all goes well, if not, I will be on an 1,800 calorie diet and have to meet with a dietician. I will get the results on August 2, at my next doctor's appointment.
This weekend was a lot of fun. On Thursday we drove to Ogden, and my brother and sweet sister-in-law wanted to throw my mom a surprise birthday party. So we helped set up and then we were in charge of distracting my mom. When we arrived at my brother's, my mom had not clue. She was completely surprised!! And she had a great time.


My sister-in-law, Kirstin, did a great job arranging everything. She is quite the party organizer!!
On Friday night, my Aunt Linda hosted a baby shower for me. It was great! We got some amazing gifts. My family is so great and it was nice to have them all there!

This is me and my sweet Aunt Linda. I am 30 weeks here and just keep getting bigger.
On Saturday morning, my grandma was in the Days of 47 parade in Ogden. She was the Queen of the DUP.


What a wonderful weekend it was!! We loved the time we spent with my family. In two weeks, we are going back up to spend some time with Adam's family, so we are excited to see them.
