Me and Mom


Well Mom made it in on Friday and was able to go with Jon and me to my doctor's appointment Friday afternoon! It was my glucose test- I actually was able to do it this visit. I chugged the drink and then about 5 minutes later I was very jittery. We heard his heartbeat- it was 145 and perfect. She was able to Dr. Campbell, our favorite. The baby was so active all weekend- I think he likes his grandma :) I should hear back early this week about the results of my glucose test. Saturday was a productive day for us. We had coffee with some friends (another mom and daughter combo) that we hadn't seen in at least 10 years. Then we braved the newly opened IKEA...waited 45 minutes to get in the parking lot. I bought some new chairs for our kitched table and Jon put those together yesterday. After IKEA on Saturday, we put together the crib- which looks wonderful! We played around with the arrangement of the room and finally picked which one we liked. We washed 2 loads of clothes that Ali has already given us. We're saving those to organize when Ali, Linds and Mark are here this coming weekend! Sunday we made an impromptu trip to Walmart and found perfect material for nursery curtains that Mom is going to make for us! She had to leave early because they were calling for snow up a good portion of East Coast. We had a great time. We ended up getting about 4 inches of snow last night. Jon was out of school today and my office was delayed but the roads are so bad I just called in. This is our first real married snow so we're going to go out and take some pictures.

This Thursday Lindsey is coming in for a long weekend with us, and Ali and Mark are coming either Friday or Saturday!!!!!! We'll hopefully be taking some maternity shots with Ali here! Monday is our shower at work- we are so excited! Expect a ton of pictures next week, too! This past weekend with Mom started the madness that we will know until just before the baby is born. We will try to keep everyone up to date on everything as it happens. The next drs appointment is in 2 weeks. Just to keep everyone informed: today I'm 29 weeks and 3 days. Babies at this stage are about 16-17 inches long and weigh almost 3 pounds. He is so active now- I love it!!!
Much love to you all!!!!!
