Rolling Along

Everything is continuing to go pretty well. I had an OBGYN appointment on Friday and baby's heartbeat was at 150 this time (always with the flipping between 150 and 160!). My 'big' belly as Max calls it measures perfectly and I am just plugging along. They also checked me for anemia and said that my iron levels were really good, actually unusually good for a pregnant lady. Good thing I have been loving meat lately I guess!

I have another infection and am on antibiotics--hoping this is the last round for a long time. Luckily our prescription co-pays actually went down this year from $10 each to $5 each so it was cheaper than last time!

Max and I investigated a pediatrics office a ton of people we know use and we thought it seemed like a good place so that is one more thing checked off the list! Only about a million more things to go:)

I also am getting tons of baby movement, especially during the day at work. Sunday Max and I were able to see my belly wigglin' and jigglin' for the first time because there was some very feisty kicking going on and there isn't a lot of room in there for baby right now. I have a feeling I will start ballooning out soon.

This was a big week for babies! Sarah had her baby on Monday and Carrie and Chris welcomed Allison 'Al' Jean Fish into the world on Thursday. I was able to see the proud parents of Al and they looked like they were doing well. Hope to meet Allison soon since she had a special visit to NICU for fluid in her lungs and wasn't up for as many visitors as her mom and pop could handle. The pictures are too cute! Now I am just trying to keep my head above water. We have childbirth and baby basics classes this week and there are just a ton of things to think about and do still. It is kind of making me crazy--I have less than two months to go so at work I am cross-training someone while getting more and more tired every day and then there is always lots to do and think about once I get home. I need a few mindless days--Max and I are hoping to go to Glenlaurel Inn next week for a last hooray pre-baby! Glenlaurel is uber-relaxing and I could use the break:)

I'm glad you and Max have a getaway planned. You deserve it!
Hope the baby classes go well.

I'm assuming we'll be puppy sitting?!
