Another trip to the doctor today so I figured I'd post it here on our blog since we are so high tech now. Good news-all is well! My glucose came back finelast week, so no more needles for now, which was nice! And the baby is a good size- they estimated it weighs about 3 lbs right now. I have to say it feels like a bit more and I think it might be unusually strong for a 3 pounder. We might have the 2026 starting kicker for the Yellow Jackets in here based on the jabs I've been getting to the ribs lately! And it's only gettin' stronger.
Anyways, as they say-no news is good news. There's really not too much more to report. Maybe one last thing-the midwife that was there today put in her "non-clinical but educated guess" and thinks that we are having a girl...we shall see... (And who knows-a girl could still be the starting kicker for the Jackets...as Matt said last night after reading the practice reports, GT is going to be "nationally dominant" in the next 10-20 years.)
Talk to you all soon!

are we really at week 30 yet?
So I'm sitting here eating a little lunch (2 PBJ's, light ruffles, grapes, and a DC for those who want to know...which is nobody), and thought I'd ramble a bit. We (mainly AM) are almost at week 30! Kindof crazy. Seems like yesterday when we were driving up to the mtns to meet my parents, and pondering the likelihood that she was pregnant.
Anyway, this last week has been a busy one. I tell ya, this work thing can be a little stressful at times. Both AM and myself are absolutely slammed at work. We also went to our first of 4 childbirth classes at Northside on Wednesday night, and it was actually pretty good. Our instructor is quite good, and for those of us who haven't been reading enough (i.e. me), I'm certainly learning a few things. Next week, we'll remember to bring some pillows! Oops.
Last night we checked out the Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. Highly recommend it.
The nursery is coming along. All the major parts have been ordered, and are "on the way". We bought a dresser last wknd, and picking up the crib this weekend,...so after that we're just waiting for things to show up, and then we'll need to get a few smaller items. Little touch-up work left to do on the trim and ceiling by this guy too! Sounds like a good Sunday afternoon project.
How 'bout my boy Duval? Let's forget the suhweet 83 he shot on Saturday at the British, but those were 3 really good rounds otherwise. Maybe there is hope yet...
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. I'm sure that we'll see/talk to the 2 of you who actually read this blog within the next few days. If not, have a good wknd!

Week 28 Check Up!
We saw the doctor today for our monthly visit and all is well! I had my glucose test, so we'll get those results tomorrow. I also had a lovely rhogam shot! (Right where the sun don't shine-oh the fun!)
The midwife(which we saw today instead of the doctor) did say that the baby is measuring about an inch bigger than average right now, so it looks like it's following in it's mom and dad's footsteps. I was an 8 pounder and Matt was a 9 pounder! (Lord help me).
The only other news to report is that the heart is sounding good, at a rate of 140, which is pretty much in the middle of the range.
After this week I'll start going every two weeks, and then eventually every week. Definitely a sign that we are getting closer!

Week 22 Profile Pictures
This picture was taken on May 30. Looking round but not nearly as round as I am now!
28 week doctor visit tomorrow!
We'll get some pictures of me and my growing mid-section up on this site soon! Tomorrow is our 28 week appointment w/ the doctor. Getting my glucose tested...fun! And I also have to do another Rhogam test of some sort. My blood type is negative and Matt is positive - so more needles for me. Oh well!
We'll update after the visit tomorrow!

First outfit purchase!
This was the first little outfit that we bought for the little one about a month ago, after registering at Babies-R-Us.
And we're off!
I figured that it was about time that we created a little website for ourselves, since we are less than 3 months away from the big day!
