28 Weeks!


Can't believe we are entering the 3rd trimester already, time is flying by! I had my 28 week appointment and all is well. Heart rate is still around 140, and the NP guessed that it was a boy because I am carrying so low. We shall see! The doctor guessed a girl, so still a 50/50 chance either way! We have been busy since our last update. Baby and I had a wonderful shower thrown by Deb and my Mom, we got lots of good stuff and had a great time seeing friends. Just a few more things to buy and we should be all set! Dan has been a "Dad in Training", assembling all of our gifts and furniture and he has been reading all of our new books to Baby. I think the Baby definitely recognizes his voice, he/she moves and kicks during "story time"!

This past weekend, we headed in to Boston for a St. Paddy's Pub Crawl with some Hormel peeps. Dan definitely had a good time, but it got a little long for me, I was ready to be done watching people drink by the end of the night! I am still busy with school and working 20 hours a week. Only 6 weeks left of school, so I need to get my butt in gear with writing research papers and final presentations. It will be nice to have the summer off with no homework and to just have time for the Baby!

No big plans for this coming weekend. Dan is driving to Albany to spend time with his "little brother", he tries to get there once a month to do something fun. Maybe I will tag along this time. I guess that is it from the East Coast. The weather here is warming up and we have no snow on the ground, Spring is on it's way!

March Madness

Can't believe it's already March! The weather here has been sunnier, but still not as warm as we would like. It's been in the low 40's, but still not warm enough to do much outside. I have been busy with school, lots of projects and mid terms are already here. We have our Spring Break in mid March, so it will be nice to have the week off! I will be heading home next week for our Baby Shower and can't wait to see friends and family. I will be home Thursday-Tuesday and am looking forward to spending time in Avon with my parents and Nate is off work too, so we will have some family bonding time.
The bump is definitely growing and Baby K is moving and kicking lots! I will try to post a picture tomorrow-25 weeks already. We definitely need to start getting the house ready for the arrival, hopefully everything will fit in our condo! That's about it for now, can't wait to be back in MN!
