It's been a long time....

I apologize for not updating the blog. I guess I have just been busy or lazy. :-)

I have had a few uneventful doctor visits since my last post. My blood pressure has been good and my belly is measuring perfectly for 32 weeks. Right after Thanksgiving he will start checking to see if I have dilated at all. It is getting so close now!!!

As for me and the baby: I have been feeling pretty good. I get tired a lot now and it is getting a little harder to get around. She is moving so much now. It is the weirdest feeling, but I love it. She was very active for two days and then she just stopped. I started to worry, but eventually I was able to make her move. I told the doctor about it and he said that she probably danced around for two days and then had exhausted herself so much that she wanted to be lazy the next day. I asked how often should I feel her move. He said at least twice a day. If not, drink a coke and she should start moving around.

Skip and I took a labor and delivery class this past Monday. It was the first of four classes. We learned a lot about the early stages of labor, when to call the doctor and some breathing techniques. It was a neat class. There was a lot that we already knew, but there was also a lot that we didn't know.

We still haven't decided on a name yet. I know that everyone wishes we would hurry up. It is just a hard decision. Hopefully we will come up with something soon and we can share it with everyone.

Last Sunday some very good friends and my sisters hosted a baby shower in our honor. It was so much fun and the food was fantastic! We got some wonderful gifts for our baby girl. We are truly fortunate to have such wonderful friends and family in our lives. I have posted some pics. I hope you enjoy.
