Not so comfortable these days...

I think that I have hit the uncomfortable, get this baby out of me stage!
Ok, well it isn't THAT bad....but on top of not sleeping well I am starting to get a head cold, my ankles are swelling during the day at work and this baby keeps jabbing her feet into my ribs!

I had my last baby shower last night. It was so fun because everyone brought a book for baby to start her library! My sister did the adorable decorations and my mom's friends made some wonderful food! It was so fun and what a blessing!

I have my bag partially packed for the hospital. I asked a bunch of people things to take and I feel like I heard so many things that I have just decided to bring the bare minimum...if I really need something I am sure someone can go grab it for me, right :)

I had a Dr. appointment today and was thoroughly disappointed. Dr. told me that most babies come 1 week before your due date to 1 week after your due date, so I should plan on having the baby a week after instead of on my due date, that way if she comes before then it would be good.......WHAT!!! Yeah, that was just what I wanted to hear as I am complaining about no sleep, swelling ankles and a head cold.........thanks Doc! So, I just wait now...... Work is busy so that keeps my mind occupied.

Sorry for my complain-fest.........lets hope tomorrow is a better day! But I am happy to say I have really felt good up until this point! : )

The Crib is IN!!!!!

Luke and I had a great weekend. We watched a movie Friday night and got to bed early. Saturday I had a shower in the morning and then we ran errands in the afternoon and had dinner with Neal and Lisa Cole. Neal is who Luke coaches Wayzata Squirt Hockey with.
Sunday I taught my 2nd week of Kindergarten and 1st grade Sunday school. It is funny how you go to school for something and then don't use your degree for so long.........I really have missed teaching little kids about the bible!

Our crib came in over the weekend and so we ended up being able to get that thanks to my mom and dad and putting it together last night!!! The room really has come together. I still have a bunch of stuff to hang on the walls, and we have to recover the rocker (the fabric we are recovering it with is draped over it). So we are almost done! Enjoy!

More Showers

I have had more baby showers and feel so blessed to get things to help prepare us for baby!

I have had such a wonderful time at each shower.

Thank you to everyone! : )

Duluth 2010

Every year in September we head to Duluth for the rollerblade marathon. Of course this year I could not participate but enjoyed cheering my dad and some friends on as they crossed the finish line.

We cheered everyone in and then had lunch at Fitgers Brew House and enjoyed some nummy burgers. Luke and I then headed up the north shore and took the dogs for a walk along the beach. We even attempted a pic. of the 4 of us.......The Peterson family for now... :)

Dad and some guys from church that he rollerblades with.

Steph and I - Way to go Steph!!!Natalie and I - both pregnant with little girls, due 4 days apart!!!

Baby Shower Time

The time is finally here for baby showers. It is crazy to think that I only have 38 days left of being pregnant!!! Well lets hope it is only that :)

Last night Nancy Calderon hosted a shower for me at her house. Nancy and her family grew up with my dad up at the lake, so I have know the Johnson's my whole life. It was so nice to have her, Kathy and Betsy throw a shower for me.....I had such a wonderful time! The pics. make me look just HUGE from what I was wearing.......but you get the point........it was a great time and I felt so blessed!!

Kathy, Betsy, Me, Marianne and Nancy!

Room Coming Together

So these pictures are not the best as they were taken off my phone and it made the ceiling look green....which it is not. I had attempted at the circles and they didn't go so well...so, my wonderful dad came over yesterday and finished the circles for us! I was so excited! They look awesome. The white trim goes up next week, in between the pink and green!!! It is so fun to see our ideas come together!

Friday at the Fair

Luke and I had a wonderful time just the 2 of us at the State Fair. We enjoyed:
-pulled pork sandwich
-Deep Fried Pickles

-Gizmo sandwich

-Pronto-pup

-Gyro

- Fresh squeezed Lemonade

-Cheese Curds

-Vanilla Malt

- Sweet Martha's Cookies & Milk

Ok, after writing all that it looks like A TON of food......but we were there for almost 8 hours and split everything!!

We saw a lot and had a very relaxing and enjoyable time.....we even were able to see a Rodeo!!

Luke and his favorite...Deep Fried Pickles

This is not the best picture of me as I was exhausted and relaxing on the couch....but here is my Hoagie Boy cuddling w/ me.......he is so sweet. He likes to lay his little head on my belly.

I am starting to feel uncomfortable, but I guess that goes with the territory.

I don't think I updated everyone on this information....After my ultrasound last week I got a call from my doctor. She said babies size is looking good, average size, not too big, not too small.... However, my doctor did say that my Amniotic Fluid is on the low end, so they will be monitoring me to make sure it doesn't get too low. So I go back for an ultrasound a week from today to get that re-checked.

Luke and I are taking a 1/2 day off tomorrow and heading to the State Fair. We used to go with college friends, then the past 2 years we have gone w/ our neighbors and their 4 kids, well this year we are going just the 2 of us! I think it will be a nice change and we really can use some time just us. So to the fair we go tomorrow and then we are heading up to the lake on Saturday morning. Luke's parents are coming for the day Saturday so that will be fun. Then Sunday we may go golfing....not sure how I will be able to golf with this belly, but I will attempt it :)

I hope everyone has a great long weekend! I will update after my ultrasound next Thursday!
