Happy Easter!!!

Easter is a great time and a great day! It is a time of fulfillment of promises and hope.

This week has been a good week.  Howard and I had our third childbirth  education class where he learned about Vaginal Deliveries and Cesarean sections as well as different pain medicines.  :) Only one more class to go!  Howard is also replacing our master shower, which is a great thing as the old one just needed help.  (I'll post a photo of it when he is finished.)  He took the shower down to the studs and is now bringing it back.  It should be done this week.
This morning I went to church and had my good friend Mandy join me.  Then the two of us went to Applebee's for lunch and to talk and catch up.  It still amazes me that I have a friend here in Denver that I have known since 2nd grade!!

April 17; 29 weeks

No new photo's to share this week, but we did have some interesting news.  It seems that we have a big baby growing inside me!!  At the 24 weeks ultrasound, the baby was already 2# 1oz ( 85%)  m OB was not worried at that time, just told me baby was growing well.  :-)  This past week I had my 28 weeks growth ultrasound, just to make sure that baby was growing adequately and this little one is 3# 1 oz (80%)!!!  Baby grew 1 full pound in a month!  Good news is that I'm not Gestational Diabetic, my one hour glucose test was normal!! I'm just growing a good size baby.  It will be interesting to see how big this kid is in another 4 weeks!!

On another note Howard and I are half way though our childbirth classes!  The first class 2 weeks ago was hard for me to keep my mouth shut on as the teacher gave some miss information as far as Rose Med is concerned.  The funniest part was Howard kept asking me if the information was right or correct and I would whisper yes or no....lol.  By the end of class he stated that if the other class participants knew I was a L&D nurse here I would have a LOT of questions to answer.  The class this past week was actually pretty good as it taught relaxation techniques and massage. I enjoyed getting a 45 min massage, what woman esp a pregnant woman would not?? This coming week our instructor will talk about vaginal deliveries. hehe  (May have to tape my mouth shut, going to be interesting for sure!)

I can't believe there are only 11 weeks left!! This pregnancy is going great so far, I cannot complain.  :-)  I'll keep yall updated as things happen and continue.

Wednessday April 6, 2011

The past two weeks have been pretty status quo.  Not too much going on just enjoying the spring weather.  Though two weeks ago Howard and I did get a new High Efficiency Washer and Dryer!! They are actually fun to use and today Ruger was barking at the dryer as he could see the clothes going around and around inside it. hehe  Not the brightest dog but still made me laugh.   Last week we went to the Denver Auto show and saw a ton of cars! The fun part was you actually got to sit in them and play w the buttons (most had battery power) and see if it worked for you with out being in a high pressure situation.  We are looking to buy a new car sometime before the baby comes as Howard's car is 11 yrs old and has 130000 miles on it.  Our camera was screwing up that day though so we did not get any photo's from the auto show. 

I've been told that some of my friends and family would like some baby bump photo's so here ya go.  These baby bump photo's were taken last night in our living room.  :-)
