30 weeks!

We went to the doctors this past Wednesday and everything is going great! It's hard to believe it has already been 30 weeks, only 10 more to go (hopefully)!

We put our crib together last week and it was actually a lot easier then we thought it was going to be! We also put our stroller together. Rick's parents gave us a travel system as a gift! Here are some pictures!

Abby wanted to try out the stroller and make sure it was safe for little dude : )

Here is a picture of little dude's closet! He already has a bunch of clothes. One of the parents at the daycare I work at has two little boys and it done having kids so she has given me lots and lots of clothes!

And here is a cute picture of Rick and Abby relaxing on the couch!

28 Weeks

Here is a picture of my big belly!

We had a very busy weekend! We had fun yesterday at a wedding(of course not as much fun as we had at our own)! The picture above was taken in the pretty garden outside the church.

Rick started his new shift today(he is still at work) and me and Abby went to my sisters graduation party. Abby had lots of fun and came right home ate her dinner and has been sleeping! Tomorrow she will be left alone in the new apartment for the first time! It will only be for a couple hours since Rick doesn't work until 3 and I am starting the 8 to 5 shift. Hopefully she will behave herself : )

All moved in and the glucose tests

We are all moved in to our new place! It's much quieter out here than it was in the city. I was going to take a few pictures to post but I haven't yet because I am tired like all the time so maybe this weekend I will get a chance (but probably not because we are going to a wedding Saturday and my sister's grad party is on Sunday)! But one day soon I will get some pictures up. Rick starts his new shift this Sunday and will be working 3-11:30. So I will be alone in the evenings and will have time to get stuff done!

We have had a busy couple weeks! Last week I went for my 1 hour glucose test and my glucose level was too high. So yesterday I had to go for the 3 hour test, which was boring but besides getting poked for blood 4 different times, wasn't too bad. I has a doctor's appointment today and they had already got the results from yesterday and they all came back normal! Our doctor's appointment was pretty uneventful. He said that my blood pressure is perfect, my weight gain has been perfect, my belly measurement is perfect, and the baby's heart rate was perfect(that part of the appointment was exciting!). Basically everything is going perfectly! I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks now!

Abby went to doggie day camp all last week and loved it! She made lots of new dog friends and people friends too! They all love Abby! She went to camp this Monday but came home after and wasn't herself : ( She started coughing/gaging and was up a few times thoughout the night having coughing fits. Since I had to go have my glucose test Tuesday morning Rick had to take a day off and take Abby to the vet. We were worried it was kennel cough but she had gotten the vaccine for it so we weren't sure. It turned out to be an upper respirtory infection. She is on antibiotics twice a day and cough suppressant pills 4 times a day. So she is out of doggie day camp for a few days! We shipped her off to Oswego yesterday to get some extra TLC from Rick's parents! Rick is going to pick her up tomorrow evening and she will go back to camp on Friday.

I have been very tired lately and my belly is getting bigger (I will post a picture of that soon too!). I know I have more I could write about but I am ready for bed! We are getting road runner installed tomorrow so we will have interent now all the time! I am going to start blogging more! I promise : )

Muscle cramps and moving

Here is a funny picture of Abby with booties on that Rick's Mom made for little dude! I was getting together all the baby things we have collected so far and for some reason we decided to put the booties on Abby(I know it's kind of mean). I really don't think she minded too much though! Isn't she cute? Yesterday was her birthday, she turned 2!

I have been getting some muscle cramps lately. But early this morning I got the worst cramp in my calf that I have ever had. It hurt so bad! It didn't last too long but is still sore! I hope I don't get too many more of those. My tummy is continuing to grow and little dude is moving a lot, when he wants to.

We are moving on Saturday! We will be moving into a two bedroom apartment at nice complex in Henrietta called Henrietta Highlands. The best part is that they have a pool (I got a new bathing suit on Friday!). It is also only like 4 miles from where Rick works. We are excited but not looking forward to finishing the packing and actually moving all of our things back down three flights of stairs. Well Rick will be moving the things, with some help of course. I can't really carry too much since most of the boxes and furniture are pretty heavy.

The most exciting part of moving is that we are getting a new mattress delivered on Saturday! The bed we have now is not in the best condition so we are really looking forward to having something comfy to sleep on. It's a spring-free bed and it unbelievably comfortable : )

Abby will be going to Doggie Day Camp for 2 weeks after we move. Since Rick and I will be working all day and she will be in a new place we decided it would be better if she wasn't left alone. She is used to being let out at lunch time but now I won't be able to go home on my lunch anymore. She also can be pretty destructive if she wants to be and we don't want to worry about what she is doing in the new place. Rick's hours change mid-June to 3-11:30 which will be nice for the Abby because I will get out of work at 5 so she will only be alone for 2-3 hours. It won't be as nice for us because we won't see eachother in the evenings. Rick's days off will be Thursday and Friday so I have already taken a few Thursdays and Fridays off during the summer. Plus I have no idea how long I am going to keep working. For now the plan is to work as long as I can. I think it is good to keep busy and keep moving!

Here is a picture of what Abby spends the majority of her day doing now! She is going to miss it!

24 weeks

We went to the doctor's today and it was a pretty uneventful appointment. We waited forever for the doctor to come in and he only stayed maybe 5-10 minutes. We got to hear the heartbeat again which was around 154. It sounded strong and the doctor says everything looks good. I go in two weeks for my glucose test and then back to the doctor two weeks after that. Little dude is moving more, at random times and continues to grow everyday! I'm not going to say how much weight I have gained but I have gained a bit more but now little dude is at least a pound of that weight! I guess that kind of makes me feel better : )

Movement!

So I have felt little flutters for the past few weeks but nothing too strong. Thursday night when we were going to bed Rick decided to put his head by my belly to listen and all of a sudden little dude kicked! It was the strongest movement I have felt yet! I do have say it is kind of a weird feeling to have something inside of you move but it's nice to know he is really in there!

We go to the doctor again this Thursday!

22 weeks

Abby had to pose for a picture too : )

We are over half way there! Little dude is growing bigger everyday!

We had lots of fun going to an awesome sale at the Dome Arena called the Weepeats sale on Friday! We got a Baby Bjorn baby carrier that looks like new for a great price (they are like $80 new). We also got a few other small things too. My mom went to the sale early when it first opened and braved the crowds and found us a crib! It is brand new still in the box!

Yesterday we went to lots and lots of garage sales! There was a neighborhood near us that had a garage sale day and there were like over 200 houses that had garage sales! We didn't find too much and we only spent $3 but it was really fun!
