Back to the Dr.

Another good visit. He did say it looked like things might progress faster than expected. Meaning he doesn't think I'll make it to my due date. I go back on Monday. With a full moon next week maybe we'll have a spring break baby...

Dr. Visit

Not much to report this time. The baby is still head down and hopefully she will stay that way since she hasn't really moved out of that position in several weeks. The Dr. didn't have a guestimate on the weight but he said even though I don't look that big that he imagines there is plenty of baby hiding in there. I go back on Wednesday next week.

John Warren and Melanie had their baby yesterday--9lb 2 oz baby boy!

Office Shower

The staff in my office suprised me with a baby shower this week. It was so sweet. Everyone was there and we had a great time. I received a very nice digital photo frame for displaying Riley's pictures and a gift certificate for the day spa that I know will be wonderful and other goodies. Everything was so nice. I really appreciate their hard work putting it together. This is why I always say I have a great job and work with super people.

36 Week Visit

Went to the doctor again yesterday. Of course at this point you're hoping he will say pack your bags it looks close but he just said everything looked good and see ya next week. So we keep waiting...the baby hasn't dropped yet so I can't say I'm surprised. We had a good birthing class this week too. We were the only couple there so it was very personalized. We got to tour the birthing center and heard about all the policies and procedures. The have wireless internet :) so we'll be able to get those first pictures out quickly I hope.

Beautiful Baby Shower in Kevil

My cousin Sharon hosted a shower for us at her new home in Kevil on Sunday. It was a nice time with aunts and cousins. We received so many nice gifts. I think we have almost everything to get started. We enjoyed a delicious dessert buffet of chocolate goodies. What more could a group of women want! We also had some great activities including birthday cards for Riley through her 18th year (what a neat idea) and everyone took home some scrapbook pages to send back for Riley's scrapbook. It was a great time and I had some good helpers. Including Joseph (Brad & Carrie's 2yr old) and new cousin Eli (Brian and Sandra's little boy). Unfortunately Miss AnnaMaria missed her photo shoot. She was napping on Grandma Janice's lap.

First Birthing Class

We finally went to our first birthing class this week. After listening to much whining, I think it wasn't as bad as Tim had imagined it would be. We got out of class a little early so that helped. Now Tim likes to tell everyone he is an expert on breastfeeding!

Farm Show

We had a good time at the National Farm Machinery Show again this year. Weather was fairly mild and we enjoyed visiting with friends and seeing the latest and greatest in farm equipment. Probably the most notable item I saw were old sewing machines that someone had converted into toy tractors. They were selling for about $150 so I certainly didn't buy one but they were interesting. They also had a child's pedal combine complete with header trailor but I didn't get a picture of that one. It was quite expensive too. We also saw a slide show of tractor tragedies put on by Opti-Crop that was facinating and drawing quite a crowd. It was a compilation of their "picture of the month" from several years. It can be found online at http://www.milesnmore.com/opticrop/2007%20Photos/2007.photo.htm We also attend the tractor pulls but they were pretty calm. Good ole green won most of the classes. We only saw one broken crank shaft and one blown engine that started a small fire but it was out in a few minutes. Other than that it was pretty uneventful.
