A few 3D pics of Camryn Makenna!

First of all, I thought seeing these pics would make me less curious on what our baby looks like, but actually now I am even more curious!! She definitely seems to have some features of both of us, but Bert thinks she has my face! I also had my second confirmation that she is definitely a girl, so I came home and ripped all the tags off of her bedding and we're starting to decorate her room!

Peace out, man!

Is it hot in here, or is is just me??

What a busy week this has been. Last Saturday my friends Heather and Karen threw me a baby shower! It was really nice! It was great to have my girlfriends together, and I was also really happy that my mom and sister were in town for it. We got cutest stuff for Camryn and it got me so excited that she really is coming SOON! Just about 10 more weeks, although I wouldn't complain if she came a little early. The past few weeks have been brutally hot, and I think it's just a taste of what I have in store this summer. I think I will either be sitting somewhere in air conditioning or in the pool.

Today I went for my glucose retest, and they pretty much said no news is good news, so hopefully I won't be hearing anything from them! I also met with a midwife who checked Cammie's heartbeat and did some feeling on my belly and was able to tell me that she is in the "head down" position, and showed us where her little butt is! We are so excited to see her this weekend on her 3D ultrasound. I have seen these before and have always thought they are a little creepy, but when it's my baby, I am sure it will be the coolest thing! I'll post the 3D pics as soon as I get them!

In other baby news, our good friends Heather and Nate had their baby, Emersen, yesterday. Karen and I are going to the hospital tonight to visit and see the baby. I saw some pics and she is a cutie! I am so glad that we all have babies close in age so they can play together and we can have momma time aka margarita time. Also, another great friend Amanda found out that she is having a little boy at the end of November, and the plan is for him and Camryn to get married, so we can all be family! Ha! I am a pushy mom already! Well other then the 3D ultrasound and one of Bert's friends 30th birthdays, this weekend should be pretty mellow. I am hoping to catch up on rest and get in some pool time!

RIP Grandpa Irv

6/6/28-6/18/09

I heard the news this morning that my grandpa has passed away. Not a huge shock, as his health has been failing recently, but still very sad nonetheless. I am very glad that we got to spend some time together this past Memorial day weekend, hopefully it meant as much to him as it did to me. I will always remember my grandpa being full of jokes, and his home being full of music. I am sad to know that baby Camryn will not get to meet him, but he and my grandma will watch over her together from heaven. Love you gramps!

Get in my belly! Week 28 pic!

So a couple of times in the last week or so strangers have come up to me and ask what I do. I'm thinking that's a little strange but one time I answered, "I sell medical equipment" and another time I just asked her "for a living?" Geez, I must be pretty important if strangers want to know what I do! Nope, they both looked at me and repeated themselves "WHEN are you due?" DUH!

Deja Vu All Over Again

Today I had what was supposed to be a routine doctors appointment, but when we got there we found out the midwife that we were supposed to meet today was delivering a baby, so they put me with a doctor who happened to be there today. We listened to the heartbeat, which was sounding good, and my health is very good, but then I got a little bit of bad news. For some reason they took my glucose test too early the first time, so we have to redo it in two weeks. It's not the end of the world, I just had an all day long dull headache after the first one, so hopefully I won't have that issue again. I will also have tasted both the orange and fruit punch drinks when it's all said and done, so I will let everyone know which is the lesser of two evils.

I am now going to start going to the doctor every two weeks, which means that I am nearing the end of the pregnancy. Actually I hit my third trimester tomorrow! We got the glider chair in the nursery, and things are looking great. I am halfway done cutting drawer liners, so Camryn's clothes will smell a little like lavender! Bert has school four nights a week, and it's a little stressful, because there is so much I want to do before the baby comes, as far as cleaning and organizing, but it's hard to do it alone. It will all pay off when Bert has his degree, so I'll try not to complain :-)

This weekend is jam packed. Friday night we are driving down to see one of Bert's good friends who is in town for work. We'll have dinner and catch up. Saturday I have a shower to go to during the day, and we are seeing our friends Renee and Eric for dinner. Sunday I will try to go to the pool, but we also have a bunch of stuff to do around the house to get ready for my family, and possibly Bert's mom, to come in next weekend!

On a side note, I was recently informed that you had to have a google account to leave comments on my blog, but I adjusted the settings so that anyone can leave a comment, so feel free to write!

"Oh, What a Night"

Or what a weekend, I should say! Yesterday Bert and I went on a date night to celebrate my birthday. We went to Morton's Steakhouse and had the best dinner! They really have great service there! They had special menus that said "Happy Birthday Heather" printed on them. They also took our picture and put it in a card that was signed by the staff and gave us a piece of this delicious hot chocolate cake with a candle in it! It was great! We then went to the Fox Theatre and saw the play "Jersey Boys," which is a musical based on the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They have had nearly forty hits in the top 40. We knew the majority of the songs and the crowd was clapping and dancing in their seats.

Some souvenirs from our night:

MMMMM Hot Chocolate Cake!

Today I got a dress for my uncle's wedding which is in two weeks! If you see me out and about looking a little too fancy in a black dress, it's because I am determined to wear this maternity dress more than once :-)

Tonight Bert and I are taking out a couple of friends to celebrate their marriage. Their wedding was very "spur of the moment," so they didn't have a reception. We'll take them out to Kani House, which will be great because I remember them saying they love hibachi and so do I!

Tomorrow is my actual birthday and I decided to take the day off work since for once I actually have plenty of vacation time. I plan on floating in the pool and taking it easy. Then Karen, Sylvie and I are going to Provino's for dinner! Bert has his first day of the new semester, so he won't be joining us.

This week will probably be pretty busy. I have a doctors appointment Thursday. I don't think it will be too eventful other than that I am starting to meet the other doctors and midwives at the practice, since I guess you don't really know who will be on call when the baby comes. Speaking of the baby, Camryn has learned the art of baby acrobatics in my belly, I feel like she is doing somersaults in there sometimes. Bert gets a kick out of it too! As a matter of fact the other night she was kicking and Bert put his face to my belly to talk to her and she kicked/punched him the the face! Hahahaha!

Also on Thursday I have my first eye doctor appointment in probably twenty years! I am a little nervous about it for some reason! My vision is still good, but I want to have an exam while I still have vision insurance, because after I start working from home I will probably not have it anymore.

I forgot to mention that Miller remembered my birthday this year! When I came home there were flowers and a card from him! What a thoughtful cat (and hubby) And yes, I got them early, Miller knows how impatient I can be!

Making Progress!

Here are some current pics of the nursery and the guest room/office. The nursery still has work to be done, but we've got some time. The crib came today and it's AMAZING! It converts to a full size bed, so we should have it for a long time! Other then putting a few pictures on the wall in the office, that's about it for that room. It's a little cramped, but everything fit, and our guests still have a place to sleep!

Here is the guest room/office, or as we like to call it, the guest office!

Here is Camryn's crib. She has better furniture than us in her room!
