I snapped this shot of Leah trying to climb a tree outside of her Grandma Nowak's house this weekend. We had a great time visiting with the entire Nowak/Moore clan! You know Leah is having fun based on the sweaty hair that's sticking to her face. Or maybe she's just really hot? Leah LOVES to explore the world around her! Trees, plants and especially animals! I love to watch her play.

Today, Leah went to swimming with Daddy, so that I could go and take the hour long gestational diabetes test and see the obstetrician. We also thought it would be a good chance for Leah to get used to swimming lessons with Daddy. Now that my Oct. due date draws near, Pete is going to take over as the parent half of our parent-tot class. Leah was tired from her exciting weekend and from waking up earlier than usual this morning, so Pete had his work cut out for him! Apparently she melted down a bit at the start of class, but Pete sounded like a trooper and handled it AMAZINGLY well! I appreciate all he does for us!

My appointment went fine. There was a little snafu with the computers at the lab, so they ended up drawing my blood about 10 minutes late. This first (and hopefully only!) GD test is timed for one hour, but the OB assured me there's a window...they just like to instill a little fear into patients so that they are certain to be there on time. Kid X is developing very nicely it seems and we can't wait for Leah's sibling to arrive this Fall!!!! Leah will no doubt be ready to teach the baby how to run, jump, play and "climb trees!"
