Davinci 2004-2007

We're filled with sadness today as our "baby" has had to move on. My little boy, you were so tired and now you can sleep eternally. We love you so much and we always will. You will be sorely missed but never, ever forgotten.

It's still a girl!

Today was one hell of a busy baby day!

28 weeks ultrasound- check!- placenta is now where it should be and she's still a she!

Bloodwork and 1-hr glucola test- check!

Rhogam shot- check!-I forgot that it was a butt shot and my tooshy is sore :(

28wks OB appt.- check!- everything looks great!

I'm very excited to see our little girl. Only a little less than 3 months to go. Off to our 2nd birthing class!

Halloween, Pregnant Cousins & More

Steve and I share a love for many different things, one of those is the holiday that falls October 31 every year...Halloween. There is just something so fun and mysterious about it. This year we both had the pleasure of being home the evening of trick-or-treating and we took turns passing out the candy...we probably had 50 kids or so. We also spent time that week carving pumpkins and roasting pumpkin seeds. So delicious! Steve did one batch with garlic powder, salt, turmeric, and cayenne....yummy! I have a dollar for anyone who guesses what is carved into the pumpkin?

The actual holiday was followed by our annual Halloween Party on Friday November 2. It's something we really look forward to every year. Honestly, this year it was a blowout :( The date got changed last minute, a lot of people weren't able to make it, and those that did just weren't in to the holiday spirit. The life of the party was little Miss Kaylen...she was in the spirit, or was it just the Molson?

Saturday was my Cousin Kristy's baby shower. It was nice and has me looking forward to my own baby shower. I will say that Kris looked exhausted and that made me nervous. I asked her about it. She said 5 1/2 weeks from her due date and she was barely sleeping. The previous night Logan (that's his name!) was crawling up in her ribs. She couldn't breath let alone get comfortable. What I have to look forward to.
Kris is due December 11. Best of Luck!

In baby land, we are entering our 28th week. Tuesday night we visited an open house at Newark Pediatrics. We loved it and Dr. Sangita Modi of Newark Pediatrics on Main Street is going to be our pediatrician! We started our birthing classes last Wednesday and unbenounced to Steve we had to watch "the video". He turned his head a lot but he survived. We were also instructed in our first breathing exercise...slow deep breathing. This week brings our next class, our 28 week ultrasound, bloodwork and 1-hour glucola test, and I have to take a trip to OB triage to get my Rhogam shot. My visits to the OB are now every 2 weeks until I reach 34 weeks, then every week. Wow, we're down to the last trimester, there is so much going on and at times I am very overwhelmed. I'm happy, excited, anxious, and scared all at the same time. I get this feeling that I can't even begin to prepare myself for how much our lives are going to change...

Be back in a few...days, weeks, whatever!
