~30 Weeks~

I'm now into my 30th week...wow it seems like the time has gone by fast. Now I'm going to the Dr.'s every 2 weeks. He's also having me do non stress testing twice a week and AFI Ultrasounds once a week til I give birth. A non stress is where they hook you up to the fetal monitor and check her heartbeat..the AFI Ultrasound is where they check the fluids around her. This is all because I have history of high blood pressure which is controlled by meds. It kinda makes me feel better knowing that if anything goes wrong it can be caught in time...it's also scary. She was being her stubborn self and it took her a while to get going....she was sleeping..so they gave me water to drink and she woke right up. They said from the U/S that she weights about 4lbs...kinda also freaky considering I have still almost 10 weeks to go. Right now she is breach and moves any way she wants. Whenever they do a U/S she has to move which make sit hard to see her.

Say Cheese

Christmas was so great this year. We spent Christmas Eve morning at home opening up our presents. I was very happy with mine. James got me the new Canon Powershot SD790 Elph. I've been wanting a new camera forever and I finally got one. I was very impressed with it. Austin got everything he wanted and so did James.

We spent Christmas Eve evening at my Aunt and Uncles house. We have done this for as long as I can remember. I love it because it's so low key and mt Aunt makes a simple dinner nothing fancy. Every year for about 16yrs my Aunt and Uncle dress up as Mr. & Mrs. Claus and give gifts to the kids. They kids love it and they love doing it. It never gets old. They are both retired and my uncle has Parkinson Disease so for them to keep doing it is amazing. My Uncle also likes to take the video camera around and record everyone so we got to watch very old videos of the past Christmas Eve's. It was nice seeing my Dad & Grandma in a few...we sure do miss them.

Snow Fun

So yesterday we decided to go to the snow. He went up to Donnor Summit with has a snow park. It's only cost $5.00 to park. We had tons of fun. But we were very cold. They boys played on the sleds and I just watched and took pics. We even had some nice hot chocolate which was nice and hot and very yummy. We wanted to go to a playland area which had some bigger slopes to go down and really nice tubes..but it closed at 3pm and it was already 1:30pm when we got there. So we didn't want to waste the money renting the tubes for only a little bit of fun. Overall we had a great time and lots of fun.

Just a little Peek

So today was our 3D Ultrasound..it was really neat but Sadie was being a little pest and wouldn't really let us see her. It was almost like she was laughing at us. We got a few good pics and a bunch of alien looking pics. They said she looks about 3 lbs...it also looked her head was huge and she had Flintstones feet. They said her spine looked great. The umbilical cord was everywhere...she even had it by her chin. Everything looked good and we were happy to see her. She really loved to move her hands around...she was moving them like crazy.

It's Baby Shower Time

Our Tree

Last night we decorated out tree. It was a lot of fun. We can't wait til next year when Sadie gets to be here to enjoy it also. I only have 89 days to go which seems like a lot but really isn't.

2nd Annuel Tree Cutting

This is the 2nd year in a row that we cut our tree down. It was soo much fun. We headed up to LaPorte on Sat morning to cut it down. We did this last year with the same set of friends. Only last year we found lost of snow. So this year was kinda strange when we saw no snow. The kids were a little bummed but still had fun. I let James and Austin pick out the tree because I was in no mood to hike to get my tree. I had to pee soooo bad and I was not going to pee in the woods..lol. So I just relaxed with the other people. Austin and James picked out a great tree. Austin even helped cut it down this year. We got home just in time to head to the Parade. What a great way to end the night. Here are a few pics...

Sadie Update

We had another Dr.'s appt today and everything is going great. She has a strong heartbeat and is kicking like crazy. James can now feel her and he's just amazed at how it feels. I now only have about 96 days to go. I can't wait til she gets here and my sleepless nights begin. It's going to be all worth it.
