Virginia Beach!

Well the baby and I are in Virginia Beach and we will be here until this Friday. We miss daddy so much, but I am learning a lot for my new job at International BioResources. We have been training (mainly reading and presentations) for the last week and this week we will finally be able to do some hands on type of stuff.

I also went swimming the other day with the baby for the first time. They have a pool in the hotel so I have been taking advantage of that and the workout area while we can. The baby has also been eating a lot of crab cakes and he seems to like them cuz I haven't felt nauseous.

Today we went down by the beach and saw the first government owned lighthouse...it was pretty cool. It was on a military base so they had to search our car thoroughly before we could get in. We also went to a naval museum and we were going to get on the battleship Wisconsin but due to the rain we were not able to so we will definitely see it another day!

Well the baby is definitely getting bigger and he is very active...I love it when he kicks! I have been able to see my stomach move when he kicks now. I can't wait for daddy to be able to feel the baby kick again when I get back!

Jason Mraz Concert!

This week we were supposed to go to Playa Del Carmen Mexico for Dusty and Megan's Wedding...However due to the swine flu we decided not to go. There is no need to put our baby at risk right now since he is so vulnerable at this point. Since we didn't go, we decided to go to a Jason Mraz Concert! We went last Tuesday night and he was amazing. He was so good live and he even had a brass section, which made it even better. Before the concert, we went to Brewburgers which was a really awesome burger place in Omaha and we met Hugh there. I had their beef brisket sandwich which was amazing and Andy had their portabello burger with gorgonzola cheese. If you are ever in Omaha we highly recommend this place! (We found it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives...the best show ever.)

Also when we were at the concert, I think the baby liked the music because he kept kicking. Either he liked it or it was too loud...I am not really sure!

Ob Appt

Today I had another Ob appt and everything is going great! My BP was really good and no protein or sugar were found in my urine. They also measured my belly which is getting bigger everyday! They checked the baby's fetal heart tones and baby's HR was 155. It was really funny because when the nurse went to put the doppler on the baby to check fetal heart tones he moved! He is a mover and a shaker...I wonder where he gets that from?! =) Recently I have felt him kick a lot and Andy loves putting his hand on my belly to feel him kick!

My next Ob appt. I will take a glucola test that checks for gestational diabetes. I hope it is negative. I really haven't had any signs or symptoms of gestational diabetes but I guess we will find out next appt.

I also had to pick up all of my medical records up until this point so I can take them with me to Virginia Beach, VA. I am going to be there for 4 weeks for my new job. I turned down the Sgt. Bluff Clinic job and took this one instead. It is full time and I will be working at Plasma Donation Center that will be opening June 16. It is only a couple blocks away from my house so that is really nice.

In the meantime I have been looking for good daycares and I have a found a few but if there is any in home daycares that anyone knows about let me know!
