Baby Shower December 27th

Pictures from the baby Shower. It turned out well and we got tons of gift cards like we asked for, now I've just got to get Dave excited about going shopping for the things we need. We have another Dr's appointment tomorrow. O yeah and my feet and ankles have began to swell for the first time, I now have cankles!

34 Week Check-up

Well I was concerned about Baby Gatlin's movements lately so I brought it up today at my doctors appointment. He hasn't been moving as much lately, so they hooked me up to a fetal monitor for 20 minutes and observed his heart rate and movements. They were a little concerned about the results because his heart rate had dropped to 12o a couple of times during the 20 minutes. They then decided to do an ultrasound to check on my amniotic fluid and see his movements. Long story short..... Baby Gatlin is right on track and doing great.... Seems that there are no worries and we are good to fly home tomorrow. He is weighing 5lbs 10 oz this week.... I can't wait till he arrives! I know the airport is going to be chaotic tomorrow so I went ahead and bout a velour jogging suit for the flight so that I would be comfortable. Dave thinks my suit is so funny because it reminds him of a Seinfeld episode or something... Imagine that! Anyways, I can't wait to see everyone for Christmas!!

Lansdowne Arms

Well, Dave played for the first time in Colorado last night, and he was a big hit! I invited a few friends from work and they all raved about how soothing Dave's voice is. Two guys heard him play and asked him to join them at a bar on New Year's Eve. They will be opening for a band that night. This one guy Danny consistently praised Dave all night long on his talent to sing and play the guitar. They literally spent 3 hours talking about music after Dave finished playing. I think it did Dave a lot of good to have someone really understand his music and talent. Dave grinned all night long and kept buying the guy drinks. I'm pretty sure Dave has a really big ego now... which he actually needs!! So we made some new friends and some new connections last night... I actually was awake until midnight with him... I give myself props for that! I am usually in the bed by 9:30. All it took last night was 2 cokes and Dave's voice to keep me alive!

The Nursery

So, we have yet to start on the nursery. We did however buy the crib, which won't be in for 2 weeks and we bought the bedding, matress, matress cover, and a picture. Dave and I left Babies-R-US with a stroller, car seat, and matress, However, I paid for all three plus the matress pad and picture, but walked out the door leaving behind the small two items on the counter. We failed to realize that I left 50 dollars worth of paid items until it was 2 hours later, we were at home, and the store was closed.... Pregnancy minds are so forgetful. God bless the people who work at maternity and baby stores because they are dealing with some forgetful and moody women.
