We had another great weekend, especially with some extra holiday and vacation time. On Friday I had another midwife appointment, so I decided to go ahead and take a vacation day, and enjoy the whole day off with Steven. Steven came with me to the appointment, which was just one of the standard check-ups. Everything was good. The midwife felt around on the outside of my belly checking our sons positioning. Good news for mom and baby, the head is down and ready to go! The midwife had Steven feel the head as well, which he proceeded to tease me about how big it was. By the time we left the office, our sons head was about the size of a watermelon! Funny, very funny!After my midwife appointment, I headed to the acupuncturist and chiropractor. Ahhhh, relief! The adjustment aligned my hips again. . .pregnancy is rough on the body. The acupuncture was the first session I've had since we found out we were pregnant. I can tell a difference in my energy level, and the swelling in my feet has gone down significantly since. Glad I went.
Steven and I also enjoyed a movie date and he took me to see Eclipse. Loved it, even if I do have to get up every hour to go to the bathroom!
On Saturday we headed to the Farmers Market and we also dropped by the Hickory Museum of Art. There has been a light there that I have wanted to get for the nursery. I love it! I think we will need a lower watt bulb in there, but otherwise, it is perfect. We also spent some time getting the hospital bag together, his diaper bag and washing his clothes, blankets, toys, etc. We even picked out two outfits to bring him home from the hospital in. Two, just in case he doesn't fit in one. With a head as big as a watermelon, you never can tell :)!
Light in the nursery- it's hard to see in the picture, but there are star shaped cutouts in the star, so they light up the room
Sunday I finally made it around to doing some more yoga. Felt much better afterwards. It really has been a good weekend of me taking care of myself and lil'man. Steven and I worked in the yard some, and then we headed to the lake to celebrate 4th of July with friends. We had a great time and enjoyed the fireworks that evening. I was surprised as I figured our son would be jumping around at every boom, but I think he slept through the whole show. Wow, hopefully he will sleep that soundly when he gets here! Thank you Jill for the great 4th of July party!
All the boats on Lake Hickory
Fireworks and boat lights all a blur
Cadha is saying in this one "Grandmoo, please remember I was here before brother, and please remember how cute I am. . .especially after my haircut. I'm a good grandpuppy".
The rest of Sunday was catching up on errands, a quick visit to my Best Friend, Anita for her birthday- HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANITA-LOVE YA, but the night was ended by having dinner with friends of ours- the Miles family. We had a great evening, the kids kept us in stitches and Steven got some Wii time in! Favorite part of the evening, was when I was playing with Jackson who is five. He started getting rough, so I told him to be careful of the belly, because the baby was in there. He then looked at me funny and said, "You have a baby in there?", and without a moments hesitation he pulled up my shirt over my belly to check it out! I couldn't help but giggle! He then put his hand on my bare belly when I told him about him kicking and that hopefully he would be able to feel it kick later. A little while later after dinner, we were playing at the table, and out of no where he just starts to lift my shirt up again. He really was wondering where I was hiding this baby! Kids are so funny! He never did get to feel the baby move, as most kids don't have the patience to sit there with their hand on my tummy waiting.
We had a great night- thank you John, Marylynn, Davis (frog squasher), and Jackson!
On Monday, Steven took Cadha for her Summertime furcut. She always looks so cute when she comes back, and she absolutely loves it. She prances around afterwards, so excited.
