It’s All About Baby!

I am happy to announce that I had another successful and healthy doctor’s appointment yesterday! Baby and I are doing great! His “kick count” has been right on target, his heart rate is perfect…what can I say, I have a perfect little man growing in there! I am very proud!

I am doing well too. As an update to last week’s post, I am still only 3 lbs heavier than when I started this journey BUT I got the reassuring confirmation that my uterus is exactly the size it needs to be. FUN FACT: Apparently your uterus size (measured from the top of your bump—under my ribs, to the bottom) should be approximately the same amount of centimeters as you are weeks along. So I am at 32 weeks and my uterus is exactly 32 centimeters. My doctor continues to tell me that both the baby and I are healthy and in great shape and I trust her. HOWEVER, she says in order to put all of those naysayers to rest, we could do another ultrasound. Her exact words were “ta hell with it, let’s get you another ultrasound so we can see that beautiful baby boy of yours!” Did I mention that I absolutely LOVE her? So, within the next 3 weeks Calen and I get to see baby C again and see how big he has gotten! I am super duper excited! I am also excited because my doc told me to go and eat ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I wanted at the San Diego fair!!! I cannot wait!

Another exciting aspect of this week has been that the baby room looks like a baby room! We had a successful “Baby Day” where Calen (with my assistance of course) put together the crib and we FINALLY made that room fit for a baby! There isn’t much in there right now, just a crib, bookshelf, and rad supposed to be music room couch—but it is going to be beautiful. I promise to update the blog with pictures soon. It is so exciting to walk down our hall and see the crib through the door! Eek! It makes it VERY real!

We also signed up for some “Baby Prep” classes this week!!! Calen and I will be attending a hospital tour where they will walk us through what will happen on the BIG DAY, then Calen will be dragged to a breast feeding class (sorry hun…it’s just another adventure right!!!) No, he really is very supportive. And then finally we will be taking a weekend labor and delivery class. Both of us are excited for the opportunity to learn about what is coming up and continue to prepare ourselves. I think that these classes will be great for us and I know that Calen will keep me laughing as always. I love that man.

Well that is the update for now! As soon as I get some pictures and hear more about Calen and Spencer’s man trip to Chicago, I will make sure and add pictures and stories. ALSO, Family Wagon has two awesome shows coming up on the 1st and 4th of July. The 1st of July will be at the Belly Up in Solana Beach and is going to be an AWESOME show! Check out their facebook for more information. The second show on the 4th is actually going to be rockin in Huntington Beach in my hometown neighborhood! Call or email me if you want more information! It is going to be one heck of a block party!

Hope that you are all doing well and enjoying this time that God has for each of us. Come by and see us soon!!! Being pregnant is not holding this lady back!

XOXO
Kendall, Calen, and Baby
