We had our 3D/4D ultrasound this morning. We did confirm we are indeed having a boy. And we got some cute pictures of his face. He wasn’t being super cooperative. He really thought his hands needed to be up by his face…along with his feet sometimes. And about half way through he got bored with the whole thing and fell asleep.
Apparently he wanted us to see how big his foot is…that’s what this last picture is showing.
You can watch the video of the whole session at the following link:
Here is my 29 week belly pic. All is going well minus my reaction to the glucose test last Friday. About 45 minutes into my hour wait, my blood sugar took a nose dive down to 67, I almost passed out and got really nauseous, so they admitted me to the ER and kept me there to monitor me and the baby for 2 hours until my blood sugar came back up to 92. All is well though and my Dr. is not concerned, so I decided I wouldn’t be either :) We have our 3D/4D ultrasound on Saturday, so I’m hoping to get some good images/video…hopefully the baby cooperates!!
So, all of our bedrooms were full, so we’re remodeling our family room to make room for our office so we have a room for the baby. Below are a few before picture.
We removed the mantel, tile, and carpet. We painted the walls, put up crown molding, installed new tile around the fire place and had someone install hardwood floor. We still need to put up a new mantel and do a little touch up painting, but all of the major stuff is done at least! Our new couch should be here the end of the month or beginning of next month, then we’ll be able to “officially” put the room back together. Here are some progress pictures.
Here’s a 25 week belly pic to satisfy those of you who have been asking for one…not the best pic, but a pic all the same :)
I’m now a little over 27 weeks and feeling good.
Well we finally found out “for sure” that Steve was headed back to Shanghai on Thursday. So he left for Shanghai (hopefully for the last time) this morning. He’ll be gone through Wed the 26th. So it’ll just be me and the kitties. So I did end up having to move my ultrasound appt. It is scheduled for May 28th at 10am. We can’t wait to find out what we’re having…so hopefully the baby is cooperative!
Here are the car seat, crib, and stroller we’re getting. I don’t have a picture of the dresser.
I think most (if not all) of you that look at my blog know that I am pregnant…if not…guess what, I’m pregnant!! My due date is October 7th. Steve and I are very excited!! We will hopefully find out the sex of the baby at the end of the month. The ultrasound was scheduled for May 21st, but it’s looking like Steve may be back in Shanghai then (he never went in April..his trip got delayed), so we may have to reschedule.
We just bought the crib, mattress, dresser, and stroller yesterday at a local store here in Tracy and my parents purchased an infant car seat for us (thanks Mom & Dad). Now we just need to get the room cleaned out. Since we don’t have any empty bedrooms, we’re going to be playing musical furniture to make room.
I just wanted to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Our Bird of Paradise finally flowered after 2+ years. Steve was really excited :)
So I’ve been a really bad blogger, but I really haven’t had anything very interesting to blog about. But I figured it was time to get rid of the Christmas background! So here goes a post about some very random things…
So, I got my haircut about a month and a half ago and got BANGS. I haven’t had bangs in over 10 years so that was quite a change.
This is Coco Bean’s weekend ritual when it’s sunny and we have the windows open. She starts out on one side then flips over. It’s like she’s trying to get a tan or something.
Steve is headed back for his third trip to Shanghai in a week and a half. He was gone for 3 weeks last time!! It was supposed to be a 2 week trip, but things didn’t exactly go according to plan. Hopefully this time it will only be a 2 week trip. 3 weeks got a little long for both of us.
That’s about all the excitement we’ve had…now you understand why I haven’t bothered to post anything :)
