Me at 26 weeks....yup I'm growing in all directions. I've beat the Dr. goal of 15 lbs and am shooting to be an overachiever and aiming high.
Dibs is in training for going on walks.....well rides in his case
This post is long overdue.
Which means, I owe you a photo or two to show what we've been up to.

Well, Jeremy had a birthday May 11. He hoped for a calm day but Baby G. had other plans for him. I wasn't feeling right that morning so I sent an e-mail to the doctor and they called within 10 minuntes telling me to come in for a check up. So I called Jeremy and said, "now don't freak out, but I'm going in to the DR. because they think I'm having signs of pre-term labor." I guess I should have started that line better because he got a little anxious and beat me to the Dr. office. When they took my blood pressure Jeremy commented they shouldn't take his because it was through the roof. Everything is fine and they did an ultrasound just so we could see the little squirt. Baby G. really wanted to celebrate Jeremy's birthday in style so she waved to him on the ultrasound, opened and closed her mouth and yawned.......I told Jeremy he just wanted to say Happy Birthday in person.....he didn't find it as funny. I figure if he was that anxious that day he ought to be in great shape the day I really go in labor.
Oh well, everything is fine and she's growing on schedule.
Memorial Day weekend we had this great plan to go camping in Estes Park. Yes camping, in a tent w/ community bathrooms (within 250 ft.) and a firepit. I'm sure you're thinking Jeremy planned this adventure because no pregnant lady in her right mind would agree to sleep on the ground in a tent. Surprisingly, I booked the campground and came up with the tent camping idea. Jeremy loves camping and hasn't done it for quite some time. It seemed like a great adventure before we're too far along in the pregnancy and I planned to take an air mattress (modified camping). Well, try as we might to tent camp the weather in CO had other plans. It rained for 6 days straight so we altered our plans and headed to Tiger Run outside Breckenridge and rented a cabin for the weekend. It was very relaxing and just what we needed....a quiet weekend away.
This past weekend was full of adventures as well. We had a baby shower in CO and had visitors from all over here. Melissa and Janelle flew in for the occasion and we were lucky to have our parents in town (with the exception of Wayne - we'll see him in July/August). Anyway, what a time we had visiting with everyone. Not to mention, the gifts we received will be very helpful with our new arrival in September. We love the carseat, diaper bag, exersaucer, rocker/bouncy chair, clothes, and golf club set.....yes, every newborn needs a golf set, especially if she's going pro.... we have to start her young. Perhaps next we'll get a softball bat and glove........
We quickly learned the 4 bottles of white wine wouldn't last very long with all the ladies in the house, so Jeremy headed to the store for a few more. I think everyone had a great time, if nothing else we gave them enough wine to keep them in high spirits. (just kidding) The photos below are of some great ISU Cyclone clothing, John Deere clothing (a little farmer girl), our new convertible carseat so she'll ride in style, Jeremy setting up the bouncy/rocker chair and Janelle having a "sip?????" of wine.
Janelle was the last to depart on Monday and I knew what that meant.....Jeremy would be tearing the to-be baby bedroom apart and setting up a crib, etc. To no surprise, we finished dinner and he began his adventure of setting everything up. I hope this doesn't jinx us and have the baby thinking it's time to be born.....she needs to wait until Sept. 4 at least. Anyway, he set the crib up rather quickly and then hauled the glider chair up from the basement. We got quite a bit done....well, Jeremy got quite a bit done and I entertained the dogs. After finishing the baby room he began assembly on the Exersaucer......nevermind the fact the baby won't be able to use it for probably 7-8 months from now, but it's better to be prepared. Thinking about it though, we probably have more time now to do this and the next year will fly by with out new addition. The exersaucer took longer than the entire baby room to set up. It should work well.
Aside from that there isn't much new. Here's a few photos from the past month.
