Another catch up post!

So, last Friday Tom and I went to Breastfeeding 101 class. We did learn somethings, but 3 hours was too long for me on a Friday night after work. Tom enjoyed the class to some extent. He learned how to burp a baby correctly:) At the place where we took the class, I wouldn't recommend it. The information that we needed we could have learned in 30 minutes, but oh well, I know how to breastfeed!

So, last weekend Brent & Kristie moved all of their belongings out of our spare rooms downstairs. It was amazing how much stuff fit in 2 little rooms! Tom shampooed the rooms Saturday night so that we could get the bedroom furniture in there so that we would have room for everyone to stay when they came down for the baby shower this weekend. I realized why we didn't mind having there stuff stored in that room, we don't have much to go in them!

Instead of spending time getting the downstairs organized on Sunday, we planted flowers. We have had peonies and hastas since my parents lived there, but I haven't planted anything since because I hate bees. Then dad called on Sunday and asked if we would like some mulch for our house and I of course said "Sure" not knowing that it would take an entire day to plant flowers and put mulch down. It took a while, but it was well worth it because everything looks so nice now. Let's just hope I can keep them alive.

Kendra is doing well and her heartbeat is strong. She is causing me pain in my sternum, but at least she is still letting me sleep through the night. She doesn't move around a ton except after I eat something cold, then she is all over. I think she is getting ready to join us outside of the womb! She moves around when her daddy talks to her! We are very excited for the second part of our journey with Kendra. Only 6 weeks to go!

Better Late then Never!!!

Well, it seems I haven't blogged in a while...so I had some time today to catch all of you up on my exciting life! I had to go out of town to Breezy Point for 4 days for work in the middle of May and stay at a very nice hotel and eat lots of food. It was great, except that I still had to work and longer hours than normal. I am on a committee for the Clerical Conference of MN and it was lots of fun, but that is when I lost my ankles. After being on my feet from 7 am until 8 pm I no longer could see my ankles. It was a sad day:( Hopefully after the baby is born I will have ankles again.

While I was up there I started having "menstrual cramps" which the doctor told me when I got back were brackston hicks contractions. They are fine, but still not enjoyable. So, I was told to rest and keep my feet up. So, that is what I did all of Memorial weekend! It was great. I haven't had 3 days straight to spend with my husband and relax in a very long time. He was bored sitting in the house relaxing, so he mowed lawn, which was fine by me, then I could watch GSN without someone complaining about the old shows. Kendra enjoyed having relaxation time as well. She started moving around much more. Tom finally was able to see her moving around. It was crazy. It feels so wonderful and weird at the same time.
