Less than 7 Weeks...AND COUNTING!
We still have yet to wrap our heads around the fact that I'm pregnant and that we're actually having a baby in less than 7 WEEKS! We do have the nursery ready to go, thankfully, so the baby will have somewhere to sleep :) I have included some pics of the nursery thus far (decorating to be done after we get home from the hospital). It's small and cozy, but it's a better alternative than putting both babies in the same room, for now. I've started going through some of Payton's newborn stuff, sorting, washing, etc in preparation. I am looking forward to going shopping for both babies soon!!
I had my 32 week check up on Monday. My blood pressure was great, at 102/72, I've only gained 13 lbs, based on their official records, and the baby's heartrate was 146. Still no swelling, not much back pain, but my ribs do get sore at night. My iron levels have dropped back down to 10.2, so the doctor recommended that I start taking an iron supplement 3 times a week, in preparation for my csection. We get to eat more steaks now too, which Brian is very happy about! I go back in 2 weeks for a visit with my primary OB, Dr. Jack Lucas. We will "officially" schedule my delivery...so I'll know if we're sticking with August 9th definitely.
Last weekend we visited with the Boughmans, so Raegan and Payton got to play together. They danced around Raegan's new playroom, and took a bath together. They are so funny to watch. Payton still towers over Raegan to the tune of about 3 inches, and probably 5-6 lbs...our little giant. They are the happiest little girls I know, and they love each other! Cheryl's pregnancy is going well...due just 2 months behind me, AND they are having another little princess :)
Also, we visited the Dog Bar in NoDa. The dogs got to "go out" and play in celebration of Emma's 8th birthday (June 20th), and Payton absolutely had a fantastic time. We had dinner outside at Revolution, where "Uncle Gary" works, and the dogs joined us. The NoDa Gallery Crawl was going on, so after dinner we walked around looking at some crafts and artwork. Payton managed to stay awake AND happy until we left, around 9:30!! She didn't even fall asleep in the car, but crashed as soon as her head hit the bed! Saturday the Killars (Celeste, Chris, and Kyler-2 in August) came over to visit, play in the pool, and have dinner. After one heck of a thunderstorm and dinner, we headed over to the pool where Payton proudly showed off her swimming skills. Kyler was so impressed that he "laid one" on her!
Father's Day was Sunday. We took Daddy to Tbones for a wonderful brunch. Payton gave Daddy a toddler bike helmet for her (to be used when he takes her on the bike trailer during the 24 Hours of Booty Ride in July), a book on Fathers, Daughters, and sports, and a gift card to his favorite place to shop, Costco. We spent the rest of the day relaxing, and we began the dreaded "name" discussion. We managed to narrow down our list a good bit, but we still have quite a ways to go! We attempted going to Pops in the Park, but they have changed the format a little, and the street by the venue is no longer blocked off for the children to play. So, we decided to head home...we have my 20th year High School Reunion (for East Meck) this weekend, so I'm looking forward to catching up with my old classmates and reliving the memories.
