Bow and Reflections

Here is a video of Bow chasing reflections in our front room.  He loves when shadows or reflections appear so he can chase them.  He is so goofy and we love it!

Here are some videos from the day at the pool.

Fun at the Pool

Today I had the day off so Malinda, Wes, Cole and Mom came over to enjoy so pool time.  Wes did great and Cole is a strong little fish swimming all over the pool.  He even acted like Michael Phelps and swam the length of the pool.  Here are some pictures of our day.  I'll work on videos and put them up later, for some reason, I can't figure it out tonight.

36.5 weeks

Today I had a sonogram and the start of my weekly doctors appointment.  It was fun to see Hunter but the pictures we got weren't that great, so I'm not posting any.  We found out he is head-down and pretty low.  The ultrasound tech said he had hair and when he moved you could see the hair sway.  To me, it looked like just a little patch of hair...we will soon see how much he really has.  We heard the heartbeat and could see that his foot is basically in my ribs.
The doctor was able to look over the measurements from the sonogram and said my fluid level wasn't what she would like it to be and my placenta was aged b/c of it.  SO, she has me cutting back on my work hours and wants me resting as much as possible.  It also means that I will have a sonogram at each appointment until delivery.  Today I was also checked and she has me at 1cm dilated and 70% effaced.  She was happy with that, b/c it can give us something to work with.   My next appointment is on Monday and we will see how things are going!

Some Progress!!

Over the past month Jeremy has been working really hard to get some projects done before the baby gets here.  Things are actually coming together and I'm so excited!!  The main focus has been in our laundry room/bathroom and the baby's room.  The laundry room/bathroom was gutted to the studs and is now full-functioning:-) though there still are things to be done.  The baby's room has a new window and fresh paint.   I don't have pictures of the bathroom yet, I want a few more things to get done before I post pictures of that but here are a few of the baby's room.  Mom and I worked today on the tree decal and mom washed and ironed the bedding and we made up the crib.  Thanks for all your help mom!  

32 Weeks!!

Wow, I’m 32 weeks pregnant and only have 8 weeks left to go!  Crazy.  My doctor appointments have been going well and everything seems to be on track.   A few weeks ago, I had my one hour glucose test and failed.   They want the result to be under 130 and I was at 158.  So I had to go in for a three hour test.  During the three hours, I had blood drawn 4 times.  My biggest concern was that I was going to faint while have blood taken since I’ve done that in the past.  But I made it through without passing out…thank goodness!!  During the three hours, my mom was there to keep me company and made the time go by pretty fast.  I also brought Hunter’s baby book and started filling it out.  Yesterday the nurse called to say my results were normal, yea!

Jeremy and I will start birthing classes this week, don’t know about Jeremy but I’m pretty excitedJ  I’ve been feeling pretty good except for my allergies that kicked in over the weekend.  I keep myself entertained by watching Hunter move around.  At night, he really puts on a good showJ  Cole was able to see my tummy moving the other day and thought it was pretty cool.

Bow and his new toy

Last week I came home from work to find Jeremy and Bow in the backyard with a “new” toy.  A huge Frisbee that was probably a neighbor kids and it ended up in our backyard.  Now it’s Bow’s and he loves it!  Since it was an overcast day, no shadows were being cast when the Frisbee was in flight, forcing Bow to pay attention to the Frisbee.  For those that don’ t know, Bow is obsessed with shadows and glares and could play with them all day.  But that day he was focused on the Frisbee and was trying to catch it in the air.  His hard work paid off and he started to catch it in the air!  Jeremy and I were very proud of himJ  The sad thing, is the Frisbee is so big, he has trouble picking it up and bringing it back.  Here is a video of Bow in action.
