We're getting a railing!! We have really steep stairs in our house, and there hasn't been a railing for them since we remodeled. It's been fine until now. It's getting scary walking up and down the stairs without something to hold on to. So Jeff came over last Saturday and helped Ben start the railing. It looks really nice, and makes me feel so much safer. Thanks boys!
This is Ben's Godmother Olive- she's a doll. This was taken on Easter after church. Ben and I pick her up every Sunday from the nursing home to go to church. She was never married, or had any children, so she considers Ben to be her Grandson- that's what she tells everyone at the nursing home.
I had my 32 week appointment yesterday with Dr. Mitchell, whom I adore. He is always so willing to answer my questions and never rushes through the appointment. This was an especially fun one because Ben was able to come with me. He hadn't been at an appointment since the very first one in November, so I was really glad to have him there. We were Dr. Mitchell's last appointment of the day, (which was nearly 30 minutes late) but he wheeled the ultrasound machine into the room and we got to see kiddo again. I LOVE THAT! The last two days, this little baby living inside my has NOT STOPPED MOVING!! It feels like it has been constant. It's very reassuring to feel it move, just not all day long. The bad news from doing the ultrasound was that we found out baby is breech. I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow (Friday), so there is still plenty of time for kiddo to flip, or so he says. Baby is sitting very high still, and making me a little uncomfortable. I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions lately too. Nothing regular or painful, just tight. All in all- I'm still feeling really good, just getting more and more tired again. I'm really excited for this baby to come out.Other good news is Ben got a new sales route at work. He had been in Burnsville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Shokopee region for many months and was offered the Owatonna route two weeks ago. He took it and is really enjoying it. The bad thing is it may not be permanant. We won't know if he gets to keep this route for another two weeks at least. He's doing a really good job, and accounts seem to like him, so I hope he gets to keep it. We'll see.We are LOVING the nice weather the last two days. I wish I had more energy to go out and do bunch of yard work and play ball etc. I guess I'll have all summer to be more active. Ben is golfing tonight- it's Wednesday you know! So he's soaking up in the sun, and I've enjoyed a quiet night at home alone. I'll update again in a week or so. Take care family!!

Last week, we had some friends over for Juicy Lucies- Ben's new fav! It's two hamburger patties with the cheese in the MIDDLE of the two patties- not on top. Well, Ben still put cheese on top too. Anyway, they were really good but the highlight was getting Katherine and Noah to kiss. IT WAS ADORABLE! Noah kept getting shot down by Katherine, although he really wanted to kiss her.
33 1/2 weeks.
Yesterday, April 20, Ben turned 27 years old. After he got home from work, we drove to Rochester and did some shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods for some golf clothes. Then we went to Newt's- a great burger joint in Rochester. It was good, but we were both way too full when we got home. It was a low-key night, but we enjoyed spending some time together. Happy Birthday Ben.
