29 Week Ultrasound

Today Scott and I went for our 29 week ultrasound. This was the last one before Colt gets here. He is already head down which is good and his measurements are all as they should be. His legs did measure long so maybe he'll be tall. As of right now Colt weighs 3 lbs. 2 oz. I'm predicting he'll weigh 7 lbs. 5 oz at birth. So far God has answered our prayers of a smooth and easy pregnancy. As far as we can tell before birth God has also blessed us with a healthy baby that is growing and developing properly. Now we have begun praying for an easy and uneventful labor and delivery. I have a couple of baby showers coming up and will spend the next 10 or so weeks checking and double checking that I have everything ready for Colt's arrival. We were able to do a 3D picture of his face. Now that I've seen how cute he is I'm anticipating his arrival even more.

Summer Trips

My summer trips have come to an end. At the end of May Scott and I took a week long trip to San Antonio for my PA conference. Then we sent the second weekend in June in Broken Bow, Oklahoma at a Slinkard (Scott's mom's family) Family Reunion. I got to meet and re-meet some of Scott's family. Many of them I had never met before and hadn't seen since the wedding 3 years ago. A couple days after getting back from OK, Scott and I and his parents took and 2 day trip to St. Louis. We went to the Arch, a Cardinals game (they lost), to the St. Louis Zoo, and to the Science Museum. My camera's batteries died just as we entered the zoo so I don't have any pictures of it. The penguins were my favorite. Now that I'm almost 30 weeks along we won't be going on anymore trips until after Colt's arrival.

The really cool cabin we stayed at in OK.

The arch in St. Louis that I have yet to go up in...someday I will!

Scott and I before the game started...not the best picture...couldn't get my hubby to cooperate! (apparently there were other things to watch :))

Baby Shower!!!

I am so excited! Some ladies at church are planning a baby shower for me and Colt in just a few weeks. Mom and I went several weeks ago to Babies R Us, Target, and Everett to pick out all the stuff a new baby needs. We had so much fun choosing all the cute patterns and clothes. Now I can't wait to fill Colt's room with those things. It will make it all the more real. My girl cousins on my side of the family are also planning a shower for me. They are all much younger than me with the oldest being a Jr. in High School. I thought that was sweet of them to want to plan it themselves. I'm sure they will do a great job. I'm only 13 weeks away from my due date and start my seventh month next week. Colt and I are both doing great and all my doctors visits are going well. We get to do another ultrasound in 2 weeks to check his size and position and then a few weeks later we're going to do a 3D ultrasound to get a good look at his features! Starting with my next visit my doctors appointments will go to the every 2 weeks schedule - that means we're getting close.

San Antonio!!!

San Antonio was great! Windy and hot but still fun. I learned a lot at my conference but Scott and I still made time to have fun. Getting in the pool was great on my back - which is beginning to hurt every now and then from being pregnant. Scott and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary while we were there. It seems amazing that it has already been three years, time goes by so fast. At the same time it seems that Scott and I have known each other forever, I can't really remember what life was like without him! We went down to the Riverwalk and enjoyed dinner with ducks on the river. Then we took a boat tour of the river. While down at the Riverwalk we saw Charles Barkley!!! He's HUGE! He was there broadcasting the Spurs vs. Lakers games. While it was all fun...its still good to be home.
