29 weeks!

Well, we've made it to 29 weeks!

Last Saturday, John, Shannon, Jackson, Joni and Erica came over for dinner, we made Shannon's famous pizza on the grill! I thought it was pretty good, however, I doubt that with as long as it takes we'll ever make it because we are too hungry to wait that long!! =) It was good to visit with all of them. Jackson is such a cutie! He slept almost the entire time they were over.

Sunday was running some errands and working a little bit in Cooper's room.

Monday I had another ultrasound, turns out Cooper is measuring a few days early, but nothing to worry about. We found out that we'll probably schedule his arrival anytime between weeks 38-39, which means anytime after October 1.

Tuesday, Andrew had his wisdom teeth taken out, he is still puffy a bit, but recovered nicely :)

Wednesday night, Tim and I attended our breastfeeding class, that was something! Fox 59 came in and taped our class for a little bit, we were on the news for a split second.

That's about it for this week, read more next week, less than 10 weeks to go before Cooper arrives!

Week 28!

I had so much written and then the program timed out!! UGH!

This week was more of the same as previous weeks... Work, sleep, work around the house, a couple of nights off here and there.

Saturday night my friend from school Rachel and her man Dan came over for dinner, it was nice to meet him and visit with the two of them.

Andrew went on Tuesday to the oral surgeon to see when he could get his wisdom teeth out and that will happen on July 28th.

Think that is about it for this week, will post more next week.

Week 27

We've made it to week 27! 13 scheduled weeks left if we can make it that long! This week like all others has been crazy - not much housework going on this week so far.....

Monday night we got our quote for carpet from Home Depot, then picked up the kids and went to eat at O'Charley's. That was it for the night.

Tuesday night - late - Tim & Andrew went to see the latest Harry Potter, so they arrived at the movie theater around 10:15pm and were gone until 3am!! The movie started at midnight - but before that - Tim and I had to stop by Walmart after work to get him a new cell phone, he had dropped his phone in a glass of Crystal Light and it was toast. So we did that, got home, got dinner made and cleaned up, I did a couple of loads of laundry and that was about all for that night.

Wednesday night - Tim & Andrew went golfing with a couple of other guys, Erica and I went to Target, Hot Box Pizza and then to watch the State Fair rehearsal for clogging. After that, I headed home, folded some laundry and watched some tv with Steph.

Thursday - Tim & I both had eye doctor appointments. My eyes were in good shape and hadn't changed prescriptions, Tim's eyes had changed. We then ran a couple of errands and are now home. I'll make dinner soon and then we'll eat and watch some more tv.

Hopefully tomorrow night and Saturday we will get some work done around the house, we are on the count down and Tim would like to be done by September 15th! Lofty goal, but I know he can do it if he sets his mind to it.

News...

We found out this morning that Cooper will be joining us sometime between weeks 38-39 depending on how we are both doing, that is if he doesn't come on his own before that time. We hadn't been told anything like this up to this point, so we were a bit surprised. The full 40 week due date was October 15th, but week 38 starts on October 1 and week 39 starts on October 8th, so we hope he can make it until at least October 1.

I go back to the OB for another ultrasound on July 27th - to check his growth and get some new pictures and measurements. I'll be 28 weeks 4 days at the time of this ultrasound.
I will be going to the doctor every 2 weeks from now on until we start the weekly doc appointments and bi-weekly movement monitoring sessions! This baby/diabetic stuff is high maintenance, but I will do whatever I need to to keep Cooper healthy!!
In other news, had a great and busy weekend, visiting with family, seeing Grandpa for his birthday and Abby and the rest of the babies and prego girls for Abby's shower. Pictures of the shower are below.

26 Weeks!

I am 26 weeks today! Yippie! 14 more to go!

Cooper is a kicking fool, if this is any indication of what he'll be like when born, he's going to be an active baby!!

Since the kiddos went away with their mom to Ohio last weekend we had a Honeymoon Weekend, haha. We didn't do as much around the house as we wanted to, but enjoyed our time alone. I was ready for them to come home though, the house was awfully quiet without them and I missed them both!

Last weekend we did do some carpet shopping - think we're going with Home Depot for the carpet, and they came on Tuesday to measure.

We also did a TON of laundry last weekend - when we cleaned out Andrew's old room (Cooper's new room) last week, Andrew had a couple of baskets of laundry that needed to be done, plus some blankets and all of our regular laundry, plus it was time for new sheets, it was a massive laundry weekend! But it is all done and I'm thankful for that!

Lastly, we registered at Target this past weekend, at least started our baby registry. We definitely don't have on there everything that we need or want, but at least it is a start. We are hoping to continue to check yardsales and Craigslist for some good buys. We've done pretty well with stuff so far, just need to keep the progress going!

This week has gone pretty quickly - Monday was haircuts and other errands, Tuesday the carpet measuring people came to measure for our new carpets to be put in later this month, Wednesday was pick up and major gathering of trash, plus baking, laundry and Tim fixed our floor in a couple of spots. Tonight will be more laundry, packing and cleaning the house before we head out for the weekend.....

This coming weekend Tim and I - are heading down to southern IN - for a couple of events, my Grandpa's birthday is July 13 - so we're going to visit with him, and then my cousin Abby's shower is on the July 11th. It should be a good and fast weekend!

25 Weeks

Cooper has been kicking up a storm heading into the 25th week! He is getting stronger and stronger! Go Coop!

Yesterday I had my monthly appointment with my diabetes doctor, she says things are going well, we just need to keep watching my sugars every week. My insulin needs have increased, and this is normal between 22-26 weeks, so I've made it to week 25 before that was necessary for me, yippie!

Home improvements are still going on, Andrew is completely in his new room and we've been working to clean out his old room, not too much left in there now, a few more trips downstairs and we'll be finished. We got a lot of his stuff in the trash and in the Goodwill pile.

Steph and Andrew are heading to Ohio this weekend with their mom to visit their uncle and his family. Hope they have a great weekend and Happy 4th of July.

Andrew goes on Tuesday to get his senior pictures done, we just had to make sure that he had good clothes to get his pictures taken in last night and so we ran to Kohl's to get him a new shirt and tie and belt.

Only a couple more weeks and I'll be in my third tri-mester. It seems like it has gone quick so far, I hope that the rest feels this easy, although I do wonder..... I just cannot wait for Cooper James to arrive! Tim asked me last night whether or not it was time to play with the baby, not yet Daddy - and you've got some work to do before he gets here!

That's about it - I will post the picture soon, it is taken, just haven't had time to get it onto the computer to post it quite yet!

Happy 4th of July to all!
