28 weeks

Wow! Can you believe it is the start of the third trimester?! I had my last monthly doctors visit on Monday. Now I move to appointments every two weeks! Time is flying by! I passed the 1 hour glucose test at my appointment on Monday (so no gestational diabetes! Whoo Hoo!), but they did find that I am anemic, so I have started taking iron supplements to counteract that. Other than that, everything else looks good. I heard the baby's heartbeat again. The doctor said something about having a loud baby because every time she listens to the heartbeat, it is right there and very loud! I took another belly picture tonight and posted it to the web album (Pregnancy Pics) if you want to see it. It is a little bigger than the last one! 

We had a nice trip out to Denver last week. It was great to see Matt's parents, his Uncle Jeff, and Aunt Sally, Scott, Lauren & John. It was a very sad occasion, but getting to spend time with family is always a good thing. We got to drive around and visit the different houses that Matt and his grandparents used to live in in Denver. I posted a few pictures on the Picasa website if you want to see them. I feel like I learned a lot about Matt's grandpa and what he meant to a lot of people. It was fun to have a glimpse into Matt's childhood!

Thank goodness for 3-day weekends! I am looking forward to enjoying the calm before the storm. Next week the countdown to the end of school begins. It will be a crazy, but fun couple of weeks!

First Shower!

Last weekend, the baby and I received a shower from the "Beach Mamas" and other neighbors on Pinebrook St! It was amazing! There was a book theme and everyone brought the baby some great children's books. The shower was hosted by the Pasteris girls, Rosemary, Julie and Karri. The food,games and company were all terrific. I will post more pictures to our album soon (I need to get some from mom's camera.) For now, here is one picture of me trying to figure out what flavor the baby food is!! 



We got so many amazing and thoughtful gifts. This is going to be one spoiled  little girl!!

In sad news, Matt's Grandpa Bob Hughart passed away on Sunday. We are headed to Denver tomorrow to attend the funeral. He was 84 years old and a great man. I'm so glad he was able to come out for our wedding in 2005 so I got the chance to meet him.  

I will post more when we get back!
