Baby Picture

The upside to having to go to the doctor for ultrasound and monitoring twice a week is that I get to see baby that often! He has been putting his toes in his mouth quite a bit. She gave me a picture of it the other day. It is harder to see in the picture than on the screen to me, but thought I'd post it here. :)

34 Weeks 3 Days

I went out to Renee's house today to go through baby clothes, and bring them home...it was fun! She took a couple of pictures for me while there. Getting very anxious for this baby to get here!

First Day of 2nd Grade

Kendra went back to school today. She was excited, but a little nervous. Collin is missing her, but also enjoying time with just me I think.

"Camping"

Mike set up our tent for the kids to play in. We had fun spending the day and evening "camping".

Visit from Cousins

Mike's sister and family came to visit last weekend. It was such a fun time.

They went swimming in the pool.

They made a train with Grandma Joyce.

Caitlin had her birthday party. She wanted Kendra to help blow out the candle on her cake.

Then she opened her presents.

The girls had so much fun playing Polly Pockets together.

Cotton Candy

Collin and Kendra went to the county fair with Marty and Renee and family and Mom. They brought home cotton candy. I got this picture of Collin enjoying his.

Baby Update

Thought it was time for a baby update! The last few weeks have been kind of challenging for our family. I was told by the doctor to slow down, and do only what had to be done around the house. Then, on August 6th, I went in having a few problems, and they put me on the monitor for awhile. Baby's heart rate was 280, and not going down at all. They sent us to Omaha to have it checked out that day. We left at 6:00, and got there at midnight. They monitored and ran tests for 12 hours, and everything looked fine. We were very thankful, but also exhausted! I have to go in to my regular doctor each week now until the end to have an ultrasound and monitoring done. Also, we are going to Lincoln Pediatric Cardiology Clinic next week to have a more in depth ultrasound done on the baby's heart. This is the kind of thing we have been spending our hot afternoons doing. Glad we have a library to visit! :)I'll try to get a belly picture on here soon!
