So Aunt Gwen recently reminded me that I have been slacking on my blogging. It has been a crazy month since our computer has been on the fritz for pretty much that entire time. Let me tell you, its not very fun to have to reload all of your computer software and programs. I know, I know.. excuses excuses.. But seriously, hopefully by the end of this coming week our computer will be back to fully functional...
So our last Dr's appt didnt go to well, and we (I) got yelled at. Colton's heartbeat was down, my blood pressure was up and they discovered that I am anemic (who isn't????). We had our 32 week appointment today and found out that all is well for us and that we right are on track, or even a little ahead... That makes us feel a lot more comfortable. I'm sure that everyone has seen the pictures of the whale (me) floating on the internet lately... p-rettty scary... but unlike what cough, some people, cough (Dad) think.. this large belly is mostly all baby!!!! Suprisingly I am doing really well on the amount of weight that I have gained. I am right on target!!! When I asked the Dr today how large they think Colton is, she gave me a (quite scary when you think about it) funny look and informed me... "Well, we know you dont have a shrimp in there... " Good job being reassuring Doc!! Thumbs up for you!! Gold star.
So things are getting more and more difficult as of late. The nurse today had me pee in a cup and I honestly wanted to jump up and down in glee when I was able to (mostly) accomplish this feat. I think that I should have recieved a medal at this point... And I'm being serious!!! I am now 8 months and this means that I still have about 8 weeks until my due date. Know what that means??? That I have 8 weeks of finding out what horrors await around every corner... I just can't wait to find out whats in store... I am spending so much time on the potty in the night that I have contemplated just putting a pillow on the wall and calling it a night...
Kevan has been amazing throughout this whole process and it has made me fall more and more in love with him. I do not know what I would do without this amazing man that I can now proudly call my Husband... Now that Colton is bigger that you can feel him moving around as well as kicking, it doesnt take as long for Kevan to feel him. (Translation: Kevan now has the patience to wait for the movements...) The look of utter joy that crosses his face when Kevan feels his son move in my belly is priceless. He literaly gasps with joy each and every time he feels the baby. It makes me feel so special and wonderful that I am able to provide that for him. I can't wait to be able to give Kevan this highly anticipated son. I am just as excited to watch my son grow up as I am to watch Kevan become the amazing father that I know he will be.
So next weekend would have been our wedding and I'm seriously so excited that we have already been there and done that. Its amazing that this baby that Kevan and I were so nervous to tell everyone about is now so special to us and our families and so eagerly anticipated. We are so lucky that we have such great families behind us that gave us the strength to handle starting our own little family.
I want to send a very loud congratulations to Kevan's cousin Jeremy and his amazing new wife Kandis. We wish that we had been able to go to the wedding, but hope that your trip to Jamaica is ammaaaaaazing!!!!!
I think thats a wrap for the moment... Hope all is well for everyone... Keep us posted!!!
Oh yeah... a new email address for us: Gerber25@comcast.net
