Lots to Talk About

Wow, there is a lot to talk about since I blogged last. Let me start with my last OB appointment. My thyroid level has gone down since we changed my medication dose. I will get another blood test in six weeks. I had my glucose tolerance test and I passed with flying colors. Nemo seems to like sugar (he moves and grooves) so I was a little worried. I gained 6 pounds and I was very upset. I have now decided to “grin and bear it”. So I will just keep walking and I will try to eat a little better. I have noticed the weight gain in my face, arms, legs, and tush. Many mommies tell me that this will go away and I need to just keep up with the walking and enjoy the pregnancy. Sounds like good advice.

Chief picked up the cradle and crib that we are borrowing from his brother and sister-in-law. Our rocking chair arrived and we love it. Things are starting to come together. We really need to get the den cleaned out so that we can move the daybed and get Nemo’s room ready. I am still knitting that darn blanket. I only have to finish one side of ruffles. I will post a picture when it is done.

Today we drove northwest to meet up with a friend of mine from high school. It was so great to see Jodelle and her family. She has two great kids and a wonderful husband. They made us lunch and I especially loved his delicious pub burger. We had a really nice time visiting and I am sure we will keep in touch.

Now the exciting news…we had our first baby shower on Saturday. I can’t even describe how fortunate I feel to have so many friends and how lucky we are to have such nice gifts. I had a blast playing games and visiting with the ladies from work. Chief was there as well but my boss’s husband kept him entertained with beer and watching golf. He did help with the gift opening and we both had a really great time.

Here are some pictures.
