Updates Abound!

Okay so there is a HUGE lull in posts. Sorry. Family was visiting... and I never realized how exhausting (although fun) that gets. Especially when your body is not your own!

Baby Shower -

My baby shower was this past Sunday the 25th. It was lovely. Unfortunately the only pictures I have at the moment are of the wonderful spread that Robin put out. The decorations where great, and where all things that Jr could use or wear over the next year. I've emailed Aunt Claire who came down from Louisiana for my shower and Robin to get some more pictures from my shower so that I can post them. During the shower Chris and his Uncle Bill (Claire's husband) spent the afternoon sanding Jr's changing table, cleaning out the garage so the changing table could be stained and repacking the bearings on a trailer Chris will be taking on a "cross country" trip (to L.A. and back) next Friday.

These where the "favors" from my Shower. My mother in law made them... they are homemade soaps, a homemade lotion and a home made lip balm... all of diffrent flavors! (Okay scents... but I call them flavors :) )

Visit From Family

Well you all know that my mother in law, Jane (Grandma J) came into town a week ago. Well the following day her sister, Claire and her husband Bill arrived to be able to attend the shower. Tuesday was Chris and I's anniversary, well Thursday was Claire & Bill's. (Intresting family trivia... the same guy that married Claire & Bill married Chris and I!) So after they arrived (after driving from Northern Louisianna) we all went out to dinner. They stayed through Monday morning. It was great to see them and we got to catch up with them - and it wasn't even Christmas! My mother in law stayed through Weds afternoon, when she flew home :(. It was great to get to spend time with her, and I really appreciated her coming out to the shower!

Projects, Projects & More Projects

While Jane and Claire where here we did alot of work on my Mother in Law's online store. My mother in law makes homemade soap and bath products and sells a couple accessories also. (Shameless plug.... check it out at Jane's Rustic Ranch Soap - and for the Mom's that read my blog - hopefully soon she will be coming out with a baby line!!) Aside from working on the website - the cause of wanting to pull my own hair out- Chris had his own projects. He finished the changing table, his mom helped him stain it - no fumes for me so I got out of it this time!!!- He also got the trailer "road ready" for next week.

Baby Updates!

On Tuesday Morning I had my 32 week appointment with Dr. G. Grandma Jane got to go seeing as she was here. Luckily no fFN test this time - so no need for Grandma to leave the room ;). Jr's heart rate was in the 140's, I've only gained 22 pounds according to Dr G so far into the pregnancy - which I'm happy with and so is he! We did the whole tape measure thing... and for being 31wks and 5 days, I am measuring 37wks! At 30 wks we were measuring 34 - this kid is going to be huge!!! Dr. G also said that he thinks Jr is head down, and because I'm so uncomfortable - as he put it - "as uncomfortable as someone who is ready to deliver in the next couple of weeks, which you won't be, you get to start coming to see me every week". He did say that the earliest he would choose to let Jr come would be 38 weeks - which puts us the week of July 6-13.
