Hiccups are a wonderful thing.

I've been waiting and waiting for little Blueberry to have hiccups and finally last weekend she did. They were very distinguishable too. I was very worried that she may not even have them since it was getting so late in the pregnancy and they usually start up with then around 6 months, noticeably. They say that hiccups help develope their lungs. Caleb had them all the time and was for the most part and still is a very healthy child. I was afraid if she didn't have them that she could have some complications with her lungs. Even though my doctor insisted she would be fine. I'm just a worry wart, but now at least I know her lungs are working good. I can also tell that she is still head down from where the hiccups are most felt.

Well we've made it to week 32 and are feeling good. So we only have between 5-7 wks left. So hard to believe she is almost here to meet us. The excitement is filling in the family.

Blueberry updates

Yesterday was a very busy day for us. As you know the first thing to be done was the carpet laying in the baby's room. After they were finished I could tell it was going to look very good with the decor in the room. Once Matt vacuumed it last night and got all the shreds of carpet up knew it would be perfect for her room. It's so soft and bouncy to walk on, she is going to love it as much as we do. Now all that's left is the setting up and decorating. My kind of work! I can't wait till this weekend gets here. Here is a shot of the room till Saturday.

Blueberry's Room

We also had our Pix for Kicks ultrasound yesterday at 5pm. We got in for the appointment right away and Tori was our sonographer. My mom and Caleb were able to join us for this event and enjoyed every minute of it. I don't think my mom was able to whip the smile off her face the entire appointment. It tickled her to see my stomach twitch and bulge every time Blueberry moved :-)

Blueberry was still playing hard to get. We were only able to get two really good shots of her face the rest showed her hands and legs in the way. It was a relief to find out that she is no longer Breech. Joyce mentioned last Thursday, August 13th, that she was butt first and not to worry about it baby's usually turn on their own by 35-36 wks. Well, I'm pretty sure she turn the Tuesday evening, August 18th, (just 5 days later) I was very uncomfortable all night.

No matter what we are grateful to know that she is progressing well and looking healthy as a horse. She is definitely kicking and punching a whole lot harder now. Here are a couple of our best shots. Enjoy!!!!

Blueberry at 28 wks 4 days

Finally, and most importantly, we've finally chosen her name. This will not be known to anyone besides Matt, Caleb, and I until the day she is born. We feel this is one thing we can keep to ourselves to help make us feel a little closer when speaking to and about her in our home.

It's all coming together and I'm feeling really good about everything. I feel after yesterday everything will be on the downhill stretch for us :-)

Caleb's Home!!!!

Yay, my Caleb's home!!!! He finally made it around 9pm last night. I missed him sooo much! I only had maybe 3 phone calls from him the entire time he was gone, and one was just to tell me he was on his way home because I gave him STRICT orders to let me know when they started out since no one else bothered to keep me in the loop all week. I had to leave the responsibility up to my 10 year old. Sad isn't it. That's a whole nother story that will put me in a bad mood so I won't tredge that water.

By Saturday I was having major Caleb withdrawals!!! Fortunately, I was at my B-I-L & S-I-L's all afternoon and evening for our nephews b-day part. I was a good time w/ lots, lots, lots, of yummy food and good conversation. So it kept my mind free from wondering off to Caleb again, and again.

Sunday was a long day. I didn't have any energy to do hardly anything. I took a 2 hour nap and was absolutely dead to the world. We were having my Grandma Millie, Dad, and Aunt Judy over for dinner and thankfully I was feeling a little better to cook. By the end of the night after everyone had left I was doing my best when my little sunshine walked in the door and said "MOMMY!!!" and gave me a Huge Hug!

It was hard to even get up and come to work today knowing that he's back. I just want to spend all my time with him this week! So from 5:30 on tonight, he's mine!

Only 6.5 hrs to go

On a lighter note today, at 3 pm today I will officially start my 4 day vacation. The best part about it is, it will be just Caleb and I!!!!!! Tonight we will be packing up to start our fun.

First thing tomorrow we have to head to the dr's office where I'll take my glucose test, fun, fun. He just loves going there with me....lol. Then after I get my sugar rush for the year we're headed to get something for breakfast, wherever Caleb wants to go, of course. Then we're darting off to the Amtrak station where we officially begin our vacation together.

We'll be taking the train to Chicago to visit Tante' and Aunt Elizabeth. I know Tante' has an eventful trip scheduled for her nephew that entails concerts and an evening of a knights dual. Capturing the knights of the medieval times fighting to the death for there kingdom or maiden. All revolving around children's interest and of course rate E for everyone. Following the play they will have a medieval meal where you eat w/ your fingers and use little to no manners. Doesn't this just scream adolescents ;-) Hopefully we will have enough time to get downtown to see Aunt Elizabeth and soon to be Uncle Bill. They are really busy moving right now so we hope to a least meet them for a meal somewhere.

Sounds like we're going to have a jam packed, fun-filled, sunshiny weekend. To be honest w/ you, I need it. I always look forward to spending time w/ Caleb and just the thought of this weekend plasters a cement smile on my face.

Let the countdown begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
