Our Future Lawn

My dad borrowed a neighbor's tractor so he could come till the rest of the backyard and get it ready for sod! It's pretty dusty right now, but all the icky weeds are gone and we have a lot left to get ready but it will be wonderful to have all grass. I have been un-invited to help because I'm pregnant. My mom is going to come over with her landscaping rake and get it as level as possible. Then we're going to get a load on Monday and the second part of the load Tuesday. We have to go by my mom's schedule since she's the brains and the braun of the whole operation. Our trailer is only rated to have two full pallets, that's why we're making two trips. I'm sure I'll post pics later of how it goes.

We had our F/U baby appointment Thursday and things are better. I only gained 2lbs, and there is no protein in my urine anymore. My blood pressure was still elevated (150/88) but she seems less worried. That's all good news but the bad news is I'm still banned from all the delicious food I would like to eat and the salt shaker. Sophie is doing good, she was very active on the ultrasound, even though I only feel her movements once in a while. The doc said she is big, 18 ounces! She's still measuring ahead so the doc changed my due date again to Oct. 1. I'm convinced I'll have her in September though, I just have a feeling it will turn out that way.
