Fast Track Child Birth

So today we attended our child birth class, although we are just at 31 weeks, this weekend was the best weekend with our schedule's for us to take the class. The morning started off alright, it was more about natural pain management than about the nuts and bolts of what was going to happen. After lunch we got all the gory details. Mr. C and I were talking afterwards and he was like, it really wasn't that gross, I said no hunny you are used to field dressing deer, and seeing the inards of animals that you hunt and kill so you shouldn't be that grossed out. After the class was over we took a tour of the hospital and birthing suites. Overall i am glad that we went and feel that we both understand a little more about what could happen when i go into labor. At least now Mr. C knows where to go!

29 weeks

Today's appointment included my gestational diabetes screening. At my last appointment they gave me the orange drink to drink one hour before my appointment. I scheduled my appointment for 9:30AM, knowing that i was not going to eat anything before the appointment, although it is not required to fast, they recomeended it. When I arrived, they drew my blood and then i waited for my appointment. I weighed in at 144, blood pressure was 122/68 and fetal heart rate was 140. The baby bump was measuring at 30 weeks, and I had no specific questions to ask at this appointment. After my appointment I took myself out to breakfast and then had a dentist appointment, what a fun day... not...

The K Man turns 3

Happy Birthday K! It's hard to believe that it has been 3 years already since we welcomed you into the world. We celebrated with you this past weekend at your party at the park.

A quiet evening at home

is how we were planning on celebrating our anniversay, however that is not exactly what happened. After our busy weekend out of town, we just were going to make dinner together and enjoy a relaxing evening at home. On our 1 year anniversay we had been to a bachlor & bachlorette parties the night before so we spent the day recovering and relaxing together and just made dinner together and ate our cake. Mr. C and J were giving a pitching lesson to one of Mr. C's coworkers sons which was supposed to only take a lil while, well it ended up taking way longer than expected and so we ended up only getting to spend about an hour together before we headed to bed, hoping next year's anniversay will be better.

4-H Hall of Fame

My family has been involved with 4-H for more years than i could even begin to try and count. My grandparents involved their children and my mom and dad have involved their children. On August 15th, my mom and dad were inducted into the MO 4-H Hall of Fame at the State Fair. This is one of the top honors that you can be awarded for volunteering and support the 4-H foundation. Each county has the opportunity to nominate someone or a family to be inducted. This year, our county chose my parents for their continuous support and leadership of the 4-H program. Way to go mom & dad!! Since we were traveling to the State Fair and Mr. C's sister & step dad live close to where the state fair is held, we made a weekend of it. We arrived late on Firday night and visited for a little while. Saturday morning we drove around looking at places Mr. C vaguly remembered from his childhood and then spent the rest of the day and evening at the State Fair with them. Sunday we visited with them until my family got to the state fair and then we met up with them and attended the ceremony. Glad we got to visit and spend time with family.
