Baby's Room

Here is a link so that everyone can see the pictures of the baby's room. I know that some people were not able to open them in their emails so hopefully this will work better.

For some reason it doesn't just let you click on the link, but if you copy and paste into the address bar it will bring you to the slideshow.

Bye-Bye Smokey

Well, it's official we are no longer the proud owners of one crazy cat. We gave Smokey to a new home on Tuesday, and I never thought it would be hard but it was. It is very wierd getting up in the morning and not hearing him cry by his food dish, as if he was starving (yeah right he is an 18 pound cat)! Frankie had a friend from work that took him, hopefully Smokey is nicer to them than he was to us. We will miss him, although I know everyone else is happy to see him go!

No new baby news, I had my 32 week check-up on Wednesday and everything is perfectly normal. The baby's heart rate is up from the last visit, it was at 160 this time and was at 148 all the other times, but my doctor said that is perfactly normal and we have nothing to worry about! Less than 8 weeks to my due date, it is going fast and yet not fast enough. Well I think that is it for now. I will talk to you all soon.

2 Months from Today!

Well only 2 more months! Can you tell I am excited to have this baby out. Don't get me wrong being pregnant is wonderful but I am looking forward to holding him just as much. He has kinda switched his schedule this last week. He seems to be moving all day now and not so much at night, although I do wake up at about 4 am every morning from one good kick to the ribs, but then it is right back to sleep. I also look foward to not having to go the bathroom every 2 hours, that is getting real old! You can see him moving now, which is kinda cool and at the same time very wierd. It looks like a little creature is trying to crawl through my skin! We are going for one more ultrasound next week. My sisters roommate is going to do the scan for us which will be fun. I will post one of the pictures if any of them turn out really good. Other than that nothing else new with the baby. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms, and to you moms-to-be! Take Care.

First Official Blog

Okay I am going to do my best to keep this thing updated. I think it will be easier than trying to email everyone individually. This way if you want to know what is going on with me and the pregnancy you can read it and if you don't care then I won't have to bore you!!

My pregnancy is going great! I am officially 30 weeks along... which means the real count down begins. Less than 10 weeks and if I am lucky it will be even less! I know wishful thinking! The baby is moving around all the time, and I get no sleep at night, I guess he is just getting me prepared for when he arrives! We do know that we are having a little boy, and we are very excited. Frankie can't wait to take the little one fishing, although I told him it is not happening until he is at least 2! But I am sure I will lose that battle. We have the room almost totally ready, we just need to put up the new closet door and we are ready. I will post pictures soon so that everyone can see it.

Other than that everything is same old same old. I am still working at Red Wing Shoes. But Frankie did just accept a new job at the Park Plaze Hotel in Bloomington, as an Executive Chef. He couldn't be more excited. He is one of the youngest to hold this position, so I am very excited for him. His official first day is May 22nd. I will keep you updated on how he likes it.

Well I think that gets you all caught up to date. I will try to post once a week, or when anything interesting happens. Which for me is everyday with the pregnancy! Take Care.
