BUMPdate: 33 Weeks

Today marks 33 weeks with 7 more to go! I had my last check-up on Tuesday in which I received my weekly progesterone shot and listened to the baby's heartbeat and all that. My doctor was surprised at how low I am carrying. Her head continues to be down and to the left with her butt apparently up and to the right. It feels usually like she's punching my pelvis. When I am sitting down it always feels like my belly is resting in my lap. 

I am still feeling pretty good, but am rapidly losing sight of my ankles. :-( I was hoping if it hadn't happened by now that maybe I would be good to go, but alas, they are puffing up. They get pretty stiff by the end of the day. Mom, I am trying to elevate and rotate! :-) 

Otherwise, the heartbeat was good and strong and everything else looked great at my appointment. I get a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions daily which are getting pretty annoying, but aren't posing any harm or issues, I guess. The doctor estimated the baby to be around 3.5 lbs. Not sure how she can tell that, but that was kind of interesting. 



This picture was from last weekend at Dana's cousin's wife, Stacey's, baby shower. She is due a couple of weeks before I am. I thought we looked like ying and yang bellies here since I am so low and she probably isn't necessarily high per se, but normal! We will all be waiting in anticipation for the news of their arrival, and to learn if she's had a boy or girl cookin' in there. :-)

Yikes - it's getting close!!! Yes you are certainly carrying low - they used to say it's a boy if you carry low. But you know how those sayings are. Keep rotating and elevating!!!! :)

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
