hospital tour
We had out first baby class tonight....well it was almost a baby class. We got a tour of the maternity floor at the hospital where we will deliver. We saw the room and the little incubator bed they will place him in once he is out of me. As long as all goes well, he will stay in that room with us for a while, which is really great. They were really nice and we should be all set as long as we can remember how to get to the maternity floor! Thank goodness for signs! Getting pretty close folks, pretty close!
baby shower II
On Sunday, Brett and I went over to our friends Harvey and Julia's house for a nice lunch...only to be totally surprised by all my coworkers for a baby shower!!! Brett knew about it ahead of time to get me there, and I had no clue! I was completely surprised and we had a great time! We measured the belly to see who guessed how big I was and played the dirty diaper game. We had great food; thanks for the alfredo Harvey, it was wonderful, and we got some great gifts!! We are just about set for the little one to come, if only the carpet would show up so we could get his stuff in his room! Thanks again to everyone who came to the shower and for Harvey and Julia for having it at their new place....you guys are amazing friends!

baby shower
Brett and I flew back to Indiana for a good old fashioned baby shower! We had a ton of people who came to see us and it was incredible. I had great helpers in opening all the presents, thanks Heather, Kira and Lucy! Our little guy got some amazing gifts and we wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for coming! We also took some shots of the belly with our photographer from the wedding. Those photos will be available soon for your viewing pleasure. It was nice to be home, considering that was the last time we will see moms, dads and siblings before we pop our kid out! Only 7 weeks left...holy cow! We have our next appt tomorrow...check back for an update.

how big is he?
Had our check up appt. today...blood pressure is down and I am measuring right where I should be. Not to mention, our "little man" is not so little anymore. The doctor said he weighs 4-4.5 lbs!!!! WOW! And he is in position, head down, all getting ready to go! Only 8 more weeks!

blood pressure and leg cramps
At the end of December, my blood pressure was a little high, so they told me to watch it and chill out. It was also the holiday season, so I didn't think it was just me making the blood pressure high. At the next appointment, my blood pressure was also high; not has bad as the last appointment, but still high. The doctor called me at work the next day to tell me she was looking at my chart and wanted me to come in for a special check of my blood pressure! I totally love that they are checking on me, but calling me at work and asking me to come in for a special appointment totally freaks me out (which I can only guess is making my blood pressure rise). So, I am trying to relax and stay hydrated and lower my blood pressure. On a positive note, going in for a blood pressure check means we get to hear the little guy's heartbeat and that is totally awesome. Only 9 more weeks! (Brett and I are telling him to stay in there and cook all the way before coming out!)
As all pregnant ladies know, we get calf cramps all the time. Mine, thankfully, only come sporadically at night and I can handle them on my own. Well, this week, I have not had any, and I was thinking it was my lucky week. Last night, the mother of all calf cramps came upon me to the point where I could do nothing, NOTHING to get rid of it, except to wake my sleeping husband and say "LEG CRAMP"! He massaged my leg and helped me through another cramp before we both made it back to sleep. Today, it feels like my muscle is on fire and I babied it all day. Thank goodness for Brett helping me; I don't know what I would have done without him. He told me this morning, he was so disoriented, he had no idea what to do, except find her leg! He is so great! Let's hope it doesn't happen again!

year of the baby
Happy New Year!!....not to mention this is the year I give birth. I have always been content with knowing he didn't have to get out of me until NEXT year. Now, that next year is very much THIS year, he has to get out me now...and soon! Not that I am freaking out or anything :D
Here are some updates:
Brett started on the baby room again, this time with painting the walls the blue we picked out. He did a great job, the first coat is so fabulous and the color just screams BOY BLUE! We are so excited to meet our little guy and we know he will love his room as much as we do! One more coat of blue (hopefully one more coat, that is what I am telling Brett) and then some touch ups and the painting is done! We have a closet to make (there is no closet in the room) and baby furniture on the way....not to mention new carpet for both bedrooms! So much to do in so little time!
On a side note, we had another baby appointment on December 28. The baby is moving around well and growing right on schedule. My blood pressure was up a little, so I have to watch that but it is the holidays...doesn't that automatically make everyone's blood pressure rise?! We now start the every two week appointments this month...which is great so we can meet more doctors. I also passed the glucose test (yeah!) and I still have to get the rogain shot (which should happen this week).
One more thing: Brett and I went and picked out books for the little guy. I choose a book I had when I was little called "The Little House". Brett picked out "Star Wars: Heroes", which has Yoda on the cover. Which one do you think the little guy will like better? :D (I like Brett's choice better too)
OK, OK, one more thing. My baby girl sister is ENGAGED!!! She will marry the wonderful and exciting Craig Cooley sometime this year. So, we have a baby boy on the way and a wedding to plan! What a great and exciting year ahead! Congratulations Angela and Craig! We are so excited for you both and welcome to the family Craig-a-leg!
