Good day to blog!

It's way too cold to want to go anywhere that I have to go outside for. I am hanging out on the couch by a warm fire off from work. So... I thought today would be the perfect day to blog! Then I started thinking about the pictures I want to add and I ran into problems! I can't get the scanner to work to upload the picture from today's sonogram. The photographer for the belly picture is at work. So...I will write now and you can expect pictures later tonight when Cody gets home to help! (Cody came home now we have pictures!)

32 weeks, 3 days

Sonogram news. Everything looks great! This is a good thing :) I was a little bit nervous going into this sonogram. To remind everyone my doctor requested this sonogram because my uterus didn't measure as much as she wanted it to at my last visit. Good news is no worries! The sonogrammer said sometimes the uterus can measure differently from the outside depending on how the baby is laying. So Hudson measured just right for 32 weeks. She measured his head, belly, femur, etc. Also, she checked the levels of the amniotic fluid and those are right where they should be as well. So we have a healthy uterus and a healthy baby weighing in at 4 pounds and 1 ounce today.

Sweet profile picture. No hands covering his face today!

Shopping news. We found the outfit that Hudson will wear home from the hospital! May seem silly to some I know but we have been on a real hunt looking. I will post the pictures later tonight with the rest :) We also got the baby crib and bassinet as Christmas gifts. The bassinet was delivered and we will be picking up the crib this week. Once all the furniture is put together I will let you have a peek in the nursery. I'm not going to promise a date on that as we haven't seen yet how much work it will be to put everything together!

I try to picture what he will look like sleeping in there every time I walk by.

With accessories to match!

Appointments and important dates. Our last night of childbirth class is tonight (assuming the roads are safe to drive on...they say we are going to get some snow again!) I am also taking an infant care class next Wednesday at the hospital. This class is supposed to go over infant CPR, feeding, swaddling, etc. My next appointment with my OB will be next Thursday, January 7th. And then what I'm looking forward to most...Baby Shower on January 9th!!! I can't wait to see everyone :)

I forgot to leave you with my weekly student story from the last week before the holidays. So here it is for some laughter! (Think it's my favorite so far)

I was walking some students out for dismissal when I overheard this conversation going on behind me.

Child 1: Is Mrs. Johns having a baby?
Child2: Yes, but not right now. See the baby is growing inside of her.
Child 1: Yeah, do you know how people have babies? (I got a little nervous here!)
Child 2: I know!
Child 1: See a person has eggs in their body (right so far) And then those eggs inside her tummy hatch and a baby comes out!

LOL! So maybe we are reptiles after all?
