Week 32 Doctor Visit

It's hard to believe it's already 32 weeks.  But, I'm so glad!!  Come on 40 weeks!  :-)

I had a great visit with the doctor today.  It lasted about 30 seconds, but it was great hearing a really strong, loud heartbeat!  She measured my tummy and said that was normal.  I asked her if my size was normal and she said everything was great.  She said there are two vertical muscles that go down the middle of your stomach and a lot of times, when it's your first baby, those muscles are strong and stay together for a long time and keep the uterus tucked in and down (something like that).  So, those of you that are worried about my size, there is no need!  Everything is just great! 

She asked if I was feeling the baby move and oh yes, I am.  I felt bad saying that it was uncomfortable, but she said that again, because it was the first, everything is tight and it could be quite painful when he kicks or moves.  Oh, I was so relieved to hear that because it is painful, especially at night.  Last night he discovered my ribs!  So, again, I'm just a normal pregnant girl!  Whew!  :-)

I go again in two weeks, and then after week 36, I go every week!  Yippee!!!  We are so excited to have this baby!  I can't believe that we get to keep him in our home and he'll be ours!!!!!  I'm so happy too that my sister gets her own little bundle of baby to keep in her home too and be hers!!!!!!!  What a wonderful blessing!!!!!!

Love to you all!

$2.00!!!

I just love garage sales!!!!  Today I was doing my 30 minutes of walking and came across a garage sale that had some boy baby clothes!  And they only wanted  25 cents each!  So, I made my little pile, waddled home, and got some quarters!  I am so tickled with them!  The hat and khaki pants are my favorite!

Too cute baby clothes!

Friday Night Singing

I had a really enjoyable night last night!  We went to a singing at our congregation.  They have them every Friday night in different towns and it goes through the summer.  Since it was at ours, we decided to go!  We sang for two hours and it sounded so good!  I really enjoyed having a variety of song leaders.  Each mostly led two songs-some were old men, and some were teenagers.  It was great!  What a great way to spend our evening-praising God!  One of the songs that we sang was You Are the Words and the Music.  Well, that might not be the title, but I thought it was a very fitting song.  We also sang Salvation Has Been Brought Down, Lean On His Arm, I'll Fly Away, and tons more.  I think the organizer of this likes to keep track of stuff and he said we sang 46 songs.  There were 134 people there from about 14 congregations around the area!  It was wonderful!

Squash

Won't it be nice when these are baby pictures instead of garden pictures?!  I can't wait!

I have a few yellow squash plants that are producing.  This picture is from the other day, but yesterday I picked three.  We've also had a nice two person harvest of green beans.  I cooked some yesterday and they were really good.  Nice and bright green.  I planted some pumpkins and they are blooming, but I haven't seen any little pumpkins yet, and the cantaloupe...well, I'm not sure about them.  There seems to be quite a few blooms, but it's not producing.  Maybe it will soon!

Ready for cooking!

Future of America!

So happy I got to attend this friend's baby shower!  We had a great time!

Fish Mobile

The fish mobile is finished!  Making little fish takes a lot longer than I had imagined.  Jeff was kind enough to hang it on Saturday!  I think with the air conditioner on, it will move the fish just fine.  I like the little blue one with the big eyes...it looks like it might belong on the short bus!  :-) 

Thanks again to Stefanie for helping me get started on this!  She made the patterns and the yellow fish!

One fish, two fish, orange fish, blue fish!

A school of fish!

Extending the life...

of a dresser!  One of the things I love about my husband is that he's productive and likes to repair things.    On Saturday, he spent a good three hours putting new slides into a dresser that he has had since childhood.  With the baby coming, I inherited it since it was a larger dresser, and have passed my smaller dresser onto the baby.  Anyway, I am so pleased!  I no longer have to worry about the drawers falling from their precariously perched positions and smashing my toes!   And they just glide back into the dresser so smoothly! 

Here he is hard at work!

Installing the last new slide.

Thanks so much Jeff!  I'm still getting used to them working correctly!
