32 Weeks and holding....

Happy Thanksgiving!  Last night we celebrated at a community Thanksgiving dinner hosted by our friend Jessie and her family.  We all had a great time eating and Lola had lots of little children to play with.  It was really nice to spend the holiday with friends instead of at home by ourselves, since we couldn't fly back to Michigan.

Last week there was a little excitement with my pregnancy, I went in Friday night to the hospital because I thought that I was experiencing contractions.  That ended up being the case and they had to give me a shot of Tributaline to stop the contractions since I had dilated to 2 centimeters already.  I am now supposed to be relaxing as much as I possibly can with being a stay at home mom with a 2 year old... and Daniel is doing a great job of helping out as much as possible when he is home.

The goal is to make it to 36 weeks, when I had Lola!  Daniel is going to his interview with GE in Minneapolis December 10th and 11th, so hope for him to stay in until Daniel gets home.

Love to you all and we will update as things happen.

31 Weeks!

Things are keeping busy for us, I am now 31 weeks along and starting to feel contractions here and there.  They say that the second time around you can feel it more and that definitely seems to be the case.  Lola is getting really excited for her baby brother to come and I am full fledged nesting.  

We have the bassinet and car seat already and I am packing the bags for the hospital as we speak. It takes much more preparation the second time since we have to have the plan for Lola when I go into labor... which is hopefully not too soon.

Daniel is going to Minneapolis for his final interview with GE December 10th, we are excited and anxious since if her actually got the job we would have to plan a move with a 2 month old in tow. We will see what happens, but wish him the best because it is a job that he would really enjoy with a great company. 

Updates as they come,

29 Weeks!

Lola had a great 2nd Halloween this week.  She dressed as an elephant and we went out with a couple friends from play group.  They had a great time trick or treating on my friend Danica's block and surprisingly seemed to get the concept very well!  Lola had her first taste of Halloween candy, which she loved but luckily forgot about the next day.  We celebrate Daniel's Birthday that night with our friends and then Daniel and I got to go out on his actual Birthday the next day for a wonderful dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Clarklewis.

I went in for my 28 week check up last week.  All is well and measuring perfectly on track.  The doctor said that he is already in the head down position, so I have the go ahead to eat a lot over the next few weeks so he will gain extra weight since she thinks that he will very likely come early.  We will see!  The weight is starting to affect me more and I have been told to take it easy so there will be no more rides down the big slide at the park with Lola until our baby boy comes. 

Daniel is scheduled to go out to Minneapolis for an interview early December...I will continue to keep you updated on that job prospect as the time comes near.  Hopefully our house will sell in time if he gets the job and we have to move.

Love to you all!
