Ultra Sound

7 Months

We got the glider for the nursery in this last week. Adam and his grandpa put it together. It is really comfortable, good thing since I have a feeling we will be using it a lot!

And the bump keeps growing.......

Our next appointment is January 7th, we start going every two weeks. The pregnancy seems to be going much quicker these days. Lots of planning and things to get ready. We have ordered the nursery furniture and are scheduled to take our birthing class and infant CPR.

Glucose and Iron

Today I had a regular check-up along with the glucose and iron test. I had to drink this orange fizzy stuff in 5 minutes and then wait one hour so they could prick my finger and run the 2 tests. I passed both tests no problem. My doctor says things are looking good, we are on track for healthy baby and healthy mommy.

Stay tuned for my 7 month picture next week.

6 Months, ALREADY!!!

Abigail is really starting to grow!

a boy, his dog, and a bird

Here are a couple shots of Adam and Lilly with a pheasant they got while we were home in Iowa for Thanksgiving. The are quite a pair and had a lot of fun. Lilly came home just beat after hunting everyday and curled up infront of the fire place.

Baby Shower

In October on our way back from Oregon my family had a baby shower for us in Iowa. It was nice to spend an evening with all these wonderful ladies who have shared a part in my life over the last 29 years! There were many stories shared about me growing up and about my mom. The ones about my mom were my favorite, it was nice to have her remembered that night too.

Here are a few pics from the evening.........................

My sister Rachael made a slide show for the shower too, you may get a few laughs when you see these old pictures of me. :)

Is it a BOY or a GIRL????

We are having a beautiful baby Girl! Abigail Rae Straw is still set to arrive around March 17, 2009. We had an ultrasound today and we are told everything is going just as it should. She is an active little one, the ultrasound tech said we have a gymnast on our hands! The doctor also said that I am healthy too.

We will post pictures from the ultrasound soon, but for now we have to go pack for our trip to Iowa for Thanksgiving.

Happy Turkey Day to all!!
