My Mom...

I miss my mom. I hope she is having a great time in ARUBA.

Here Comes the...

Baby, all dressed in Green, where is the dad, he is on the floor??? Nah, just kidding. But 10 weeks left it is just around the corner. This week was filled with our first baby class and meeting our pediatrician. The baby class went fast, which I was worried about the time as it cuts into nap time and usually I don't have energy to do much at night. Granted, it was tough to sit through still as I wanted to put my feet up as my legs ached from being on them all day, but it was interesting.
Our pediatrician was, OWWWW foot cramp!! Breathe.... Ok, I'm back. Our pediatrician was very personable....Kent started off on the whole, lets cut the bullshit, my wife won't let me get a golf membership and I think this will affect my child....what suggestions do you have....We knew he was a member to Hidden Glen. Anyway, we have heard a lot of good about him and know he has been recognized as one of two in the Northshore, and the other one is retiring so...no brainer. We were just lucky as he was only accepting first time parents at the time that I called. It was nice spending the time talking etc. He is all about Education, as we all know, I will need!! Can I say Clueless!!!! Fun times, starting to make things real. Need to find time to read all this material. I also need to go to the library to rent a video a friend suggested.

OMG!

Today I had my first dream about the birth of BW...but it wasn't just BW. It was 7 BW's!! It was quite interesting with a lot of detail....but thank goodness, the ultrasound only shows one and I am much to tiny too hold more than one baby. BW decided to kick me back into reality as I woke up jumping up as BW kicked me in the side so hard it shot me straight up out of my nap.

I hit my 30th week this week....10 to go! I'm on the home stretch and when I compare it to finishing the school year, I do have a week and half in there from spring break yet...so less than 9 weeks of work left! I do feel the best I have felt all pregnancy so far. I know they say you should be feeling more fatigue, but right now I am not any more than I have been the whole time, in fact I feel better. I have been really tired the whole pregnancy and getting sick definately did not help. I think the weather helps as I feel like doing something then when I wake up from my 2 hour nap as it is still light out.

My weekends have been spent catching up over the week. I did manage to get a few new bra's this weekend so the skin on skin can stop!! Uck!

The Revolution!!

Awaiting the Revolution...the Bob Revolution that is. With much thought we took the splurge and bought our Bob with the handlebar accessory, as well as the car seat carrier....I'll be back to better than ever within months after BW is born! Great thing about this stroller is that the front wheel can lock or unlock to swivel so it can be used as our "big stroller" if we go to the mall etc. as it allows us maneuverability. I'm really excited to use it, maybe we'll lock Sasha in and take a stroll this spring when it comes??!??

Treasure in the Cargo

We made it down to Madison to watch the girls basketball team win state this weekend. YEAH!The game wasn't overly exciting and my adrenaline shakes were minimal. I have to admit, I did have to go get ice cream at halftime as I just needed some food in my system from the adrenaline. The pretzel also helped take the focus off the game and onto the food.

We met up with Julie, Mike and Sienna. Sienna had her fun throwing her cheerio bowl on the floor along with her nook. Julie brought along her maternity clothes that I sorted through when I got home. Needless to say I had to finally admit my friends are right, my boobs are HUGE! Nothing fit the top I was busting out. I did find a treasure in the stack of a pair of cargo pants that were perfect in length and weren't the type of pants you have to pull up every 2 seconds. I LOVE THEM. I would probably wear them even if I wasn't pregnant! So yes, you can all guess what I wore today.......

Overall it was a nice weekend. We saw family including Grandpa (who made it home from the hospital for a few days and is now back in) and Grandma and mom. Along with Aunt Patty and Uncle Ken, Gail and Blake and their new house, and Reuben and Rosey. Our time is limited in Madison and unfortunately we never see all of the people we want. I even managed to see Jennie Adrian who came down to sit by us at the game.

I am gettting some energy back from being sick. We got a few things done around the house and Kent and I made it out shopping for a freezer and a few other things today, we might even head out for a short walk tonight. I did take my 2 hour nap and skip the welcome home for the girls, but I was beat after running around all day. It is back to the grind tomorrow and the catch up on grading and such throughout the week. I feel like I can't get caught up with all the big things coming in at once. Oh well.

It's ALIVE!!

BW is moving and flinging like a triathlete that forgot to put on body glide around their ankles and wrists and is fighting to get out of their wetsuit on a bad day. This morning, you could see the stomache switch positions as BW did. Almost like BW would crawl right out of the stomache, but not YET! Lots of punches and kicks, especially in the ribs.

And where did all that belly hair come from anyway? I don't get it.

Baby LaPean

For those who know our good friends Kevin and Erika, this morning they brought Charlotte Oline LaPean. She was born a 4:38 a.m, was 8 lbs. 11 oz., 21 1/2 in. and she came fast! Erika's water broke at 9:30 p.m. I can only hope my delivery is as smooth and easy! We are looking forward to our babies growing up together!! How fun!
