29 weeks and counting

NeedleIt’s hard to believe that in less than three months Sprout will be here. Right now she’s very active early in the morning and around 8-9pm. Last night she was practicing her boxing moves. Her opponent? My rib cage. I think she won.

Yesterday I had to get my blood drawn for my Rhogham shot. It wasn’t painful at all, but the process to make it happen is. I had to go to the outpatient lab and have my blood drawn, then I went to the hospital’s central lab to get the shot they created from my blood. Then I took the shot around the corner to my doctor’s office so they could inject me. What a process. But now it’s over and that is the last of the extras that need to be done during this pregnancy.

Now we just sit back and wait for Sprout’s big arrival. I’m hoping that she’s right on time or a few days early as my dad’s birthday is a few days before my due date. I know that he would be over the moon if she shared his big day.

That’s about all that’s new around here. Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome to our blog…

WelcomeWell heck, I guess it’s our turn to get with the program and set up a blog too. Although our baby isn’t here yet we figured, we’d get this party started now so we’re up to speed when she does arrive.

Let’s see, what’s new, the nursery is pretty much done. We have the furniture, now all we need is the mattress for the crib and the bedding. We’ve washed the clothes that Dan & Lorrie gave us, and the dresser is full of clothes waiting for Sprout.

Tomorrow I will officially be 28 weeks so let the fun of the third trimester begin. The last and the biggest of the three is here already. Hard to believe that in three months we’ll have a baby in the house. We keep telling Jaxon in hopes of getting him ready. I’m not sure its working because his usual response is to sit, stare and then sniff or snarf. Who knows that may be his way of telling us he’s prepared. If not, maybe he needs a belly rub.
