Quick baby update

Everything is looking fine and going well with the baby. Blood pressure is good, weight is good, heartbeat is good, measurements are good and I'm 1 cm dialated. I know the 1 cm doesn't mean much in terms of David coming soon, but it's kind of cool to know things are working. It's weird to think that he will be here so soon!

Malta Baby Shower

I thought I would post some pictures of the baby shower that the ladies at church threw for me.


These are the "present girls". They helped by walking the presents around for everyone to see.

This is me opening presents and holding up the frog bath toy holder. Amber (next to me) wrote down all the gift info for me!

These are most of the ladies in attendance minus a few. I am blessed that God has provided such a great and supportive church family.

This is me holding the cake.

This is the baseball boquet that Donne made. The roses is the bouquet are baby socks!

Lastly, this is the yummy cake that Robin, our pastor's wife made for the shower. It was beautiful and delicious!

Dr's appointment and Jeff's first pheasant

We headed to Havre today for my 35 week appointment. Every thing looks fine -blood pressure, size, weight gain - nothing realy eventful. I have to start going every week now, which kind of stinks, but means we're getting really close to baby time.


I think we have most everything that we need for the baby now - at least I think so. The ladies at church threw a shower for me this past Sunday. It was great to get to know some of them more and I had a really good time. They also gave me some really cute clothes! I got a lot for older babies, which is good! We have just a few more things that we need for the baby that we will have to order.


Yesterday, Jeff headed out hunting after church and ended up shooting his first pheasant (as you can see below). We have yet to eat it, but we'll let you know how it tastes.





Lastly, I tried to get a video of David moving around. I couldn't get him going really well, but I got a little bit of him moving on video. He'll be here soon!

Snow!

We got our first snow last night. I looked out the window and there was about 3/4 of an inch on the deck and lawn! It's funny because yesterday afternoon I was thinking, "We should start raking up the leaves in our yard before it snows." Well, we didn't get to it before it started to snow :) I didn't even get to buy a rake yet. It's crazy because like 3 or 4 weeks ago, we were having record highs in the upper 90's and 100's and then we just skipped fall.

I had a Dr's appointment earlier this week. Everything is going fine - nothing eventful. I'm measuring a bit big for my gestational age, but they haven't told me that there's any cause for concern at all. I've got to get my flu shots soon, but they aren't easy to find around here. My next Dr's appointment is not this week, but next week, so I'll probably get both flu shots while I'm in Havre.

I found a car seat cover on Craigslist and I bought it. I paid $3 for it and $4 for shipping! I got it in the mail yesterday and it fits our car seat and is in pretty good condition. There's one little seam I need to put like two stitches in to make sure it doesn't come undone, but overall, I got a really good deal! Everyone says that car seat covers are a MUST to have in Montana weather.

Well, Jeff is headed back to the trailer and should be pulling in the driveway soon, so I'm going to figure out dinner.
