Baby Shower!

A lot has happened since my last blog! I had another appt last monday and I have just been super busy with family in town to report what happened. We had our 3d/4d ultrasound and it was amazing! You could actually see the baby's face. Some people say that he looks like Andy and some people say that he looks like me. We will find out when baby G. comes out in 10 weeks. That is right today we are 30 weeks! At the appt I was also checked for gestational diabetes and it was negative. Actually my blood sugar was 97 even after drinking a bottle of glucose. I also had a great hemoglobin of 11.1 which means I am not anemic. My doctor was surprised because she said that usually people don't pass both. We also heard the baby's heartbeat and it was 145. My next appt will be next week since I am now on every 2 week appts!

I also had my baby shower this last weekend and it was great. We had about 25 people there and it was held at the Bluffs Area Family Center. Roxanne, Liz, my mom and Kelly helped host. Roxanne and Liz made the food and they made meatballs, fruit skewers, chips with 3 different salsas, cake, iced tea, and coffee. Sue Flom made chocolate covered strawberries and kiwis! We played a game where everyone brough a baby pic of themselves and we had to guess who was who. Maria Williams won with guessing 11 people! I got second with guessing 10. We also had to guess how many chocolates/ mints were in the plastic baby bottle and Nikki Huygens won that game. For gifts I got a ton of stuff and now Baby G. is set! He got a pack n play, baby monitors, baby swing, tons of bath stuff with a "whale" bathtub, clothes, infant travel bed, toys, and soothing baby sheep that plays sounds and a soothing sounds machine that fits on the crib just to name a few.

Also there were party favors that were impatients in a pot of soil that had the poem " We planted these seeds Now watch them bloom, Just like Baby Gould who will be here soon!"
