Welcome!

I decided I would try and keep up with a blog so here we go.
My name is Carlene, and I am married to Ben.

On our Wedding Day

He is an EOD tech in the National Guard.
Together we have a beautiful daughter named Peyton who just turned 1 in June, and another daughter on the way named Emmalyn who is due October 4th.

29 Weeks

Momma and Peyton

Right now it's just me and Peyton at home while Daddy is at work in North Carolina. He just left yesterday and won't really be back until the end of September. Hopefully Emmalyn will stay put until he gets back! It sucks having him gone but I have some good friends and family close by so it could be worse. We just miss him a lot! It's sad watching Peyton look for her daddy in the morning and not find him!
Today Peyton and I are just relaxing at home together while Emmalyn is kicking away. I love feeling her move around. It's my favorite part about pregnancy!
I got a call from my OB's office because I had taken the glucose tolerance test last week and I failed the 1 hour test :( So lucky me gets to take the 3 hour test on Friday. Good thing I have my mom to watch her while I'm at the doctor's office because I don't think she'd do too well being there that long. Also with my blood work they noticed I was vitamin D deficient so hopefully I can get that up.

I'm trying to think of what to have for dinner but it's so hard cooking for Peyton and myself. I saw someone make stuffed zucchini which looked really good so I think we'll have to run to the store after she wakes up from her afternoon nap! Zucchini is our favorite veggie :)
Anyways, I better get to working on the never ending mound of laundry.

69 days left!! :)
