Jackpot’s Baby Shower

Friday night was baby shower night. My great friend Christy has been working hard on the planning and it came together perfectly. I must give a huge thank you to Becky for the cute invitations, Sarah G for the awesome onesie craft at the shower, Al for making a yummy and so cute cake, Christy’s dad for making the log serving pieces and Christy for bringing it all together, opening her house up to us all and for such a great shower!!

Dr Appointment Update

I headed out to the doctors this morning. It was a pretty uneventful appointment. My weight looked good. The nurse tech I think measured it wrong because the thing wasnt completely in the slot like it should have been and by what she had it was showing a weight loss but i highly doubt that happened! LOL But anyways the dr said at this point it doesnt really matter. My belly measures right on target and the baby's heartbeat was in the 140's and he was kicking away. So far I am lucky with a minimal swelling and feeling pretty good.

I do have to slow down coming up on the last month. Contractions have kind of increased this past week with doing so much at home. And looks like my hips arent wanting to walk much anymore so not sure how much more I will be doing. I really want to do the 5K next weekend but not sure of how realistic that will be. Will see how this week goes.

I also talked with Dr H about scheduling a repeat c-section. Jeff and I have talked about it alot especially the past couple weeks and we think for us this is the best route to go. So we are on the books for Oct 19th. Unless he decides to come before then on his own looks like that will be his birthday. And it is perfectly fitting that if he comes on the 19th he will share a birthday with my wonderful friend and running partner Christy! I think it's perfect! She was my sounding board through all our infertility issues and this just works out excellent!

So aside from scheduling our c-section, the appointment was just the same ol' thing. All looks great and we go back in 2 weeks!

funnest yard sale ever

The Saturday of Labor Day Weekend we joined The Seago’s and The Goddard’s over at the Jordan’s for a yard sale! I went over early along with Sarah G and Jon S and the spouses and kiddos came along a little later on. While we sold and sold the kids played and played!

Some cell phone snaps from the day

time for popsicles!

we got a huge kick out of the food service truck that showed up to shop and also sale some snacks to other visitors

It was so good to get rid of some stuff and make a few extra bucks! And have a great time hanging with friends all morning!
