Our baby at 30 weeks!

We had a 3-D ultrasound done yesterday and the baby was sleeping the whole time :) He loves his daddy- he moved every time he heard his voice :) We got some pretty cute pics! We can't wait to see him in person- He is perfect!!

29 Weeks and Counting!!!

Well, I'm 29 weeks now- only 11 more to go and we can't wait! We are about to finish up our birthing class on Monday night, which has been a treat! :) For the most part, the information has been pretty standard until this last week. We got to tour the hospital and see the labor rooms and the post- delivery rooms. I don't think this would have been any big deal if I weren't pregnant, because the rooms are actually really clean and new. However, this part scared me more than anything else. They tell you all the possible things that could go wrong and how this is the actual room where you could have your baby. I don't know, I guess I was expecting the Marriott or something, but this definitely was not it :) It just made everything seem scary but I know it is a great hospital and they will take good care of us!

On another note, we went to a pool party on Wednesday night. All of the medicine staff were invited to a CASUAL pool party at the home of a Neurologist. The invitation said there would be food and swiming, so we thought it would be fun- We showed up ( in regular clothes, no bathing suits for us...I thought I would spare the people at the party:) and it was not what we would think of as a casual pool party. There were people swimming- however, there were servers dressed in black and white walking around serving margaritas, wine and any other drink you might want (I had water of course and Brian splurged for a Diet Coke with lime...yummm). There was also an array of fancy food brought out by servers (again in black and white). And to top it off, there was a masseuse there with her table set up to give massages to anyone who wanted one. WOW! We thought we would have burgers and hot dogs at a picnic table :) It was really fun and totally different from anything casual we had ever been to. We wanted to take pictures of the pool (which was incredible) but thought that we would really look like nerds who never got out, so we just sat and enjoyed ;)
Well Brian gets a day off this Sunday and we can hardly wait! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

28 weeks



As of Friday, I am 28 weeks! It seems like the days are going so slow, but I know it will be here before long :) I have already gained over 30 lbs and everyone says you gain the most weight in the last 8 weeks- so I am really excited about that :) But, I feel really good so it's hard to complain. The doctor set all my appointments until the baby gets here so it's all in the calender- which makes it seem so real even though its still hard to believe :) We miss everyone so much and can't wait to see our friends and family again soon!!!
*Riley can't stand to not be involved in everything... He cried until I picked him up for the pic-
I think we might have a few problems when Henry gets here :)

Busy week!

Well, Brian started on Wards last Friday and it is terrible! Poor thing...he got up at 5:00 am yesterday and didn't get home until 1:00am- He worked 20 hours and then when he got home, he got a call from the hospital at about 1:30 because something was wrong with one of his patients- He finally went to bed at about 2:00 or 2:30 and had to get back up at 5:00 am this morning. It is rough! He is doing so well though- He is learning so much and this just makes us appreciate how good the next 3 years are going to be!! :)
I also had a doctors app. today and she said everything looked perfect! She said that the baby was on track for his measurements, which made me feel so much better! She went ahead and changed my due date to Nov. 7th because the last 2 ultrasounds measured for that day- That is great news! The sooner the better! We are getting so excited, I will be 28 weeks next Wednesday so we just have about 12 weeks to go! Can't wait!

oh yeah..... by the way, Brian passed his driving test! He can legally drive now :)

Fun in the sun :)

We got this blow-up pool from Brian's mom when we were in Oklahoma a few weeks ago, and just got a chance to use it the other day. It's small, but feels awesome in the middle of the afternoon! Riley usually hates water, but it's just so hot- he didn't even care anymore :) He played in the pool with his ball until he got frustrated because he couldn't get it in his mouth :)
