33 Weeks! We're Getting Closer!!!

A little blurry, but I thought it was time for an update. The count down is on! I had another appointment today and everything is looking good. They found out that my iron was low at my last appointment, which might explain why I had been so tired, so I've been on an additional supplement. My iron is back up to the low end of normal, but they want it higher so they're keeping me on the supplement. I have another appointment in two weeks, and then it will be every week after that! It's almost time! Woo hoo!

29 Weeks!




Baby Shower #1!!!


Three weeks ago I had the opportunity to go home to Washington for a fantastic baby shower! My mom flew me home to visit as a birthday present and threw me a shower while I was there. The shower was a lot of fun. I got to see a lot of people from church, who probably think of me as a little girl, not someone who should be having a little girl, my sister-in-law Betsy and nieces drove down to see me, and my grandma made the trip as well. We played some fun games, the diapering challenge was the most entertaining. Betsy turned out to be the ultimate diaperer, and she claims the only cloth diapers she ever changed were Steve's. I got a lot of great stuff, thanks to the generosity of all who came, and my mom even made a blessing dress for the baby. It's beautiful.
The trip was a ton of fun. I got to relax, spend time with family, and even check out a few apartments to start getting a few ideas for when we move there in August. And I was reminded how much I really do like Washington! I'm excited to be moving home and to be close to our families. I couldn't have asked for a better trip!
