We have had a lot going on in the past 2-3 weeks. We had our ultrasound, and found out the new baby is a BOY! Time to start shopping! hahaha Actually we have received promises of a ton of clothes, towels, blankets, even boys' bedding. It appears we are only really low on Newborn-3months clothing. We are so blessed and thankful to everyone who has offered to help: Mom, Caitlyn, Mandie, Josette, Josh and Mandy and Carrie! Baby is measuring well and appears to be healthy.
I had some issues with palpitations and rapid heartbeats, dizziness and migraines - on top of the nausea. I am on some new medication that is working well with the nausea. The dr. had me get an EKG, and Ultrasound of my heart, as well as wear a heart monitor for a week. Unfortunately she is now on vacation till later this week, so all I know is what her partner dr. told me - I have an elevated and rapid heart rate. Apparently it isn't too serious, because he wants to wait until my dr. gets back from vacation to take any steps (aka medications) if necessary. For now I am only to be working short, 4 hour shifts, and 'taking it easy' -- whatever that means! :)
Monday was my birthday - I am now 30! Doesn't really bother me as much as I thought it would. We had a fun day. (weekend actually). We met Justin's Mom and Keith for dinner Saturday night, and then went out with his Dad, Barb, Amy, Brad, Dominic and Jason Monday night. Justin got me a pregnancy massage (I just have to schedule it). Ray took me to the movies - we saw Pirates 4. I also got some new charms for my charm bead bracelet and some money (which I will probably use to buy more charms). :)
Tuesday was our wedding anniversary - 8 years. Justin and I went out to dinner at the Springfield Grille all by ourselves (Thanks Ray!). It was fun, and because our steaks were very undercooked, we got free dessert! Overall, it was very yummy!!!
Other happenings:
Justin has been traveling - busy, busy. He has a trade show in New York coming up and a Sales Meeting in Chicago in the next few weeks.
We received a package from Grand Grandma Jan a few weeks ago. In it there was a tin of Pink Hot Chocolate Mix. The girls recently had a tea party with it and thought it was so cool!
Our baby birds hatched!!! We have been watching them constantly! I try to take a picture every other day. We haven't touched the nest or babies, and mom doesn't seem to mind us getting near the bush to take a peek. However, she doesn't like Ray! hehe she has dive bombed him a few times. These pictures were taken May 16-23.
Coming up:
Kaelin is finishing preschool. She has a field trip Friday to the local library on a school bus - just like she will ride to kindergarten - and is very excited. Then next Wednesday is her end of year concert. Next Friday is her last day of school - which is a picnic at a local park. I can't believe she is almost done and will be in Kindergarten in August!
On Kaelin's last day at school, Ray's friend, Matt Bob is flying in for 10 days! The boys should be busy. They are going to NY with Justin for a few days, hoping for a trip to Niagara Falls and also to Cedarpoint Amusement Park. It should be a fun visit.
