What a week!!

First of all, let me say that this 27th week that I hit yesterday is the final week of the glorious 2nd trimester. It has been a good one (a lot more fun than the first I must say).

I really feel like I may have gone out with a bang! This has been one of the most fun, busy, exhausting, and wonderful weekends ever.

1. The doctor called on Wednesday and my gallbladder is normal. So I don't really know what's going on there... But I'm glad that it's normal and everyone is healthy.

2. Childbirth class this week was 100 percent better than the last one. It was not nearly as traumatizing for my husband, it was extremely informative, it went faster, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun and special evening for us to share. In fact, I'm excited to go back this Wednesday.

3. I had the priviledge of being a bridesmaid in one of my lifelong best friend's weddings. Congratulations to Cherilyn and Joe. Your day was perfect and gorgeous and I can't wait to see what your marriage is like! Thank you for letting me be your "pregnant bridesmaid".



4. This weekend my sister and her wonderful family came down for a short visit. Her children are everything that's wonderful. Really. I got to hang out with two of the sweetest girls in the world and their parents and now they are gone and I miss them, but I had a great time. I'll see them again in June. This time when they came down they had their newest addition, Mr. Isaac. He was wonderful and sweet and I adored meeting him. I can't wait for him to be friends/cousins with our little baby. :)



5. Also, this week our crib came. I don't know if you know this, but finding a crib that I liked was really hard for me. The things that are in style right now aren't really what I was looking for so apparently I was pretty picky, but I'm so glad I held out, honestly researched, and found this one. Yes. I found a crib and it's everything I wanted. Not to mention, it was super easy to assemble. It's yet another piece to our little puzzle and is a wonderful touch. Thank you Joyce and Wayne.




And now I can start the regular blog stuff! Sorry, folks, but it was a big week!

What I miss: SUMMER VACATION. It will be back soon, but I'd really like it now.
What I am looking forward to: Or should I say NOT looking forward to? This week I take the gestational diabetes test. I drink the nasty juice, and then I sit there for an hour and they take my blood. Wish me luck!!

We are in the teens as far as days left before summer. These are the slowest days of my LIFE!

And now the baby is...

Still an eggplant. He is 2 pounds and about 15 inches. He has lots of tastebuds and his lungs are working really hard this week. His nostrils are no longer closed in. He is also opening and closing his eyes. Fun!
