Alright - I'm a day late, but 7 weeks to go as of yesterday! It's just surreal that we have that little time until this precious little one joins us...
Last weekend, we had a MAJOR snowstorm - they compared it to the Halloween Blizzard of 1991 - the one that ruined my chances at getting any significant amount of candy since we lived in Dayton, MN (aka, didn't stand much of a chance getting out of the driveway). Unfortunately - this blizzard caused the cancellation of our Birth & Parenting Prep Express class. Since we had to leave so early in the morning, we were able to get out of our driveway and made it safely to the Hospital (we were even 10 minutes early)! We ended up waiting until about 9:15am - watching other couples come in from the cold - only to find out that the class had been cancelled. After making it home, we decided to take advantage of the continuous snowfall by setting up shop on the couch. Dan bravely ventured out once the snow stopped falling (late afternoon) and started shoveling. He was out there for about an hour and a half before our neighbor got home to let us use his snowblower - which still took another 2 hours to clear the rest of the driveway! We ended up with something like 17" of snow in the Twin Cities when it was all said and done! While we didn't learn anything about giving birth, the weekend was definitely memorable. Our class couldn't be rescheduled until January 22 and 23rd - so hopefully this Girl doesn't come early! :)
We had another appointment on Monday and the Dr. reassured me that if she does come early, we'll be fine - everyone else around me will know what to do even if I don't! :) The appointment went smoothly (and quickly); still measuring normal growth, heart beat of 144 and normal blood pressure - all I can ask for!
Not much else to update...just getting excited for Christmas time and some time off from work! :)
Here's a picture from this past Sunday --
and one from today...
That's all for now!
