30 Weeks!!!! Only 10 To Go!

Well, another milestone- 30 weeks! Still feeling really good, just getting tired again. Kiddo has been moving like crazy! Some days I feel like it doesn't stop moving! I have noticed if I have a cup of coffee at work- it goes NUTS!! The caffine really effects it, so I stay away from it, sometimes.
We are starting to plan for baby showers, which I am SO excited for. We have nothing, absolutely nothing for this kid. Just a used crib, used pack n' play, borrowed bassinette and dressers. No clothes,bottles etc. I am getting really excited for garage sale season to start too! Hopefully I can find some goodies there too.
Ben and I are going to his parent's house tonight for his Dad's 75th Birthday.
Happy Birthday Don!!! We love you.

28 weeks

Ben's 28 week belly picture. He had just returned home from a golf weekend with this buddies to Illinois. They had a lot of fun together and hopefully worked out the "golf bug" for a few weeks so he can finish the house before the baby comes!!!
28 weeks. When I got home from work Sunday eve, I took off my scrubs and Ben said, "Wow, you've grown over the weekend!" I had my doctors appointment last Thursday and all is going well!! I'm growing right on track and my weight gain is just right. I am nervous to see what the scale says each month at my appointments. I didn't think gaining weight would bother me so much, but it does! It made me feel much better when my doctor reassured me I wasn't gaining too much and it was healthy. I better get used to it, because this won't be the last time!

Noah LOVES vacuums. He'll point and squeal when he sees one. So we thought, let' give him a ride on it-- he'll love it! Not so much. It made him very nervous to ride on it, and it wasn't made for kids in mind. He barely could get his little legs around it. The "new toy" was short lived.


The first weekend in March, some friends went up to the cabin. These are my best friends from high school- Molly Sjoquist and Josie (Louis) Hayes. We spent the weekend playing cards and games, drinking and laughing. We all had stomach aches from laughing ALL weekend.



Ben and the boys went ice fishing on Saturday while the girls went shopping. This is Ryan Olson and Zach Hayes. The boys didn't even get a bite, but sat out on the ice for 4 hours. They all came in giggling- they must have had fun together. All the world's problems were solved that afternoon- according to them.
It was a fabulous weekend spent with really good friends. Even though we don't get together as often as we would like, we pick up where we left off from the last time. We are really blessed to have such great friends in our lives.
