Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Wherever you are, we hope you are having a wonderful Christmas! We made a snowy trip home to WV last weekend and are back in Charlotte thinking of everyone today.
Our last doctor’s appointment was on Wednesday, December 23 (Happy Birthday Daddy to-be). It consisted of our normal check-in (weight, blood and Doppler to hear the heartbeat) and 3 hour glucose screening (not a stellar time). We are very pleased to report, that everything is still tracking perfectly and we are all healthy and developing as we should. Baby’s heartbeat and growth rate are right on track and I did not test positive for gestational diabetes.
During this visit, baby displayed his first signs of authority. When the nurse was applying the Doppler to my belly she hit right on the baby and he gave a pretty quick and hard kick to let her know. It actually caused the Doppler wand to move, and it sounded like someone was doing a microphone check. J As you can imagine, I am feeling more and more of those soccer style kicks every day.
For security reasons we won’t be disclosing my new fighting weight, but let’s just say that as of last night, we were able to inform the police and an APB has been put out for my belly button. Should you see my belly button or know where it might have gone, please let me know as it seems to have disappeared.
In other baby news we completed one awesome baby shower and the babies’ room is coming along nicely.
The plans for our baby shower in Elkins were almost thwarted by the massive snow storm that hit the night before, dumping around 2 feet of snow and prompting the governor to call a state of emergency. Fortunately we were able to postpone and dig ourselves out to have the shower only one day later. We want to thank everyone who was able to join us and a big THANK YOU to Kristie and Becky for coordinating everything. We finally broke down and disassembled Shaunna’s awesome diaper cake yesterday and all of the great clothes and gifts we received have been put away in babies’ room.
While we were in WV enjoying the snow and spending time with family and friends, Aunt Cassie was back in Charlotte working her fingers to the bone painting the babies room. When we left Charlotte the walls were a boring off-white, when we came back they were a beautiful blue color and you could see the characteristics of a little boys room starting to form. Thanks Cassie!! Inspired by Cassie’s efforts, Lance was able to assemble the crib and populate the room with the rest of the furniture. Bedding has been washed and it’s really looking like a baby’s room. Granny (aka Grandma Carolyn) is coming this weekend to help decorate and we should have pictures to share with everyone soon.
As we hit the home stretch (only 2 months and some change left to go) the Doctor’s visits will become more frequent. We will do our best to keep sending out the emails, but can’t promise you will get one with each visit. Don’t be afraid to call, or stop by and see us…as my tummy grows my pension for leaving the house gets a little smaller, so you’ll likely find us at home a little more these days. ;-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!
