3rd trimester ..3 months to go!!

Woo ho! Last week we started our 3rd trimester! Final lap of this race. I recently passed my blood glucose tolerance test and the baby is doing well...thank you Lord!

Last week we also finished our maternity pictures. We were a little worried about the rain, but it held off and we got some wonderful pictures (see photos below)!

At 28 weeks our little one is about 2lbs (which is what the doctor estimated his weight to be). Supposedly this is the time in the pregnancy where women have a hard time sleeping. Thanks to our wonderful iComfort (by Serta), I have been sleeping wonderfully. Although I don't sleep as long as I used to. Last week, I also started counting the baby's kicks/movements.  I am supposed to do it twice a day and count between 7-10 movements in a two hour period. Baby S. has had no problems reaching that goal..even in a 5 minute period.

And today we are 29 weeks..yay!! And we are 77 days from the having our little bundle in our arms. Where are we on our to-do list now? We recently finished the maternity pictures and baby registry. Sean is hard at work on the nursery, but it is not yet finished. I am not too worried though.

This week we start our Lamaze class...so fun!

Roads and Lakes and Food....OH MY!!!

Our trip to Minnesota was so much fun! We thought the drive there would be miserable with all the stopping, but it actually made the trip go by faster.  On the way there we stopped in Lafayette, MN and made it to MN by 4pm Saturday.

Once we got to MN, we went out on Lake Minnetonka with a few of Sean's best friends. This was my first time out on Lake Minnetonka and on a speed boat. It was SOOOO fun! While on the lake we stopped by a restaurant inthe area called Fletchers. Talking about characters!! There was a guy there with a Master's jacket on. Is that random enough? No?! Well how about it was super tight and he had on flip flops..lol! Then there were these guys that had these shorts on that were so short and tight that I laughed so hard I started to cry (yes you had to be there..lol!)

 

The next day we were showered with love. Oh this little boy is going to be loved so much! Check out a few (and these are really just a few) of the pictures from the shower.

 

And if that was not fun enough..the next day we went out on the lake..and Sean and Dave tried wakeboarding for the first time..so much FUN!!! I have so videos of thier tries..they did a great job. Both were able to get up...and Dave was able to stand. Maybe I'll add the videos later when I have time to edit them.

One thing I forgot to mention was Dave and Jess's wonderful new home. Talking about gorgeous!! I love love love it! Congrats again Jess and Dave. And thank you all again (Dave, Jess, Darcy, Howard, Ben and Jill) for throwing a wonderful baby shower for us!
