Camping

i forgot the camera this weekend... so sorry no pictures...
but jordan and i went camping and had a wonderful time!

we left sat after work and stayed till late mon morning... we took kayaks and fishing poles and had such a nice time paddling around and trying to catch my first fish. (next time!)

it was so beautiful where we stayed, all the green hills and then around a corner we'd find a snow covered mountain peak jutting out. beautiful!

it was a little bit interesting trying to get comfortable on a squishy air matress with my huge belly... turning over became quite an ordeal!!! it was nice to sleep in a real bed last night!

we have a midwife apt tomorrow... this little guy is starting to get under my ribs now... i almost said "that's a queer feeling". Jordan and i have been reading C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, so that's where that came from.

See you ohioians in 9 days :)

Happy Birthday Dad!!! We love you!!!

Pregnancy Updates

so jordan and i went to our midwife appointment on wednesday...

last time i was in my 25th week and measuring 23 cm
this time i was in my 27th week and measuring 27 cm... just right :)
so yeah 4 cm in 2 weeks!!! ... the baby is definatly growing

today i officially start into my 28th week which to me still sounds reasonable... until i flip it and realize that means we have less than 13 weeks till his due date! wow! it's going fast!

My Iron and Blood pressure are good and so is baby's heart.
My midwife also says i have good abs :) nice!

the baby is probably over a foot long now and weighs over 2 pounds!

pretty amazing that God created a womans body to be able to do all of this!

i can't believe how big he's getting!!! my stomach is huge!!!

just some random tid bits

So we are moved back in to our house now after the floors being redone :) there are still a few odds and ends and random boxes in the garage... but i'll work on that s-l-o-w-l-y so the baby's closet doesn't end up piled to the ceiling again! :) the floors look so nice!!! i'll get some update pictures on here soon...

Jordan is still recovering from whatever "devil virus" he has... kept his toast down so far today so that's good... poor guy!

my goal projects before Ashley arrives:
-finish painting coat closet by the front door
-paint the bottom cupboards in the kitchen
-paint the bathroom
-do all touch up painting in preparation for getting trim
-finish sorting and moving things back in from the garage
... there are probably more :) (i'll add any other things i do to the list later)

Just getting started

so it's a little boring on here right now... just getting it set up and all that good stuff. Once we have access to faster internet we'll get some pictures and stories and such on here.
