Doctor & Weekend

I just got back from the doctor's office, everything checked out just fine. The baby is doing well, heart rate of 147...and I'm measuring right around where I should be. I go back in four weeks to do my glucose screening. He asked if I've been feeling movement, so I told him how much the baby kicks and that he/she wakes me up in the middle of the night with the kicking. He laughed and said they must be some strong kicks. :-)

We had a nice weekend...Friday Ethan was over and we just watched some TV and went to bed. Saturday I worked and Dave did some MBA work...then we went to church and met friends out for dinner Saturday night. Sunday morning Dave put on a coffee hour out at the Lutheran Church in Greenville, and I got up early and did some Christmas shopping. Going to Target at 8:30 is great...no one is there! I'm almost done with Christmas shopping already which feels great. I'm so excited to go over to Lower Michigan this year! It seems like it has been forever since I've been there...well, it has been two years. Too long! I need to try to shorten up the time between getting over there. This year will be special because Tony & Rachel asked Dave & I to be the Godparents of little Sam! So we are going to do the baptism while we are there. We are going to be there almost a full week, I'm super excited to see my family!

This weekend Dave is going up for the big hunt, and Alison & Amanda are coming to visit the 'ole pregger. It won't be as crazy as some of the visits have been in the past, but it will still be fun and great to see them!! I can't believe next weekend is Thanksgiving already...crazy!!

On another note, Dave's sister Kristin is pregnant with fraternal twins and having some complications (they are having a girl and a boy :) )...she is 32 weeks along. The little girl isn't growing as much as she should be, so the doctors are keeping a close eye on things. They might have to take the babies early so the little girl can grow in the ICU. Kristin's doctor had her spend the night in the hospital last night due to some test results, but nothing major yet. But we are all trying to think positively and keeping them in our prayers...so we're asking everyone to please do the same! Thanks!!

OK that's about all for now. I should have some pictures after the girls' weekend.

Glad to hear all is well with your pregnancy! If the kicks are waking you up at night now, then you're in for some long sleepless nights as the baby gets further along! Believe me!! :)
Love ya!
