Father's Day, Baby Shower and more

We had an eventful weekend this past Saturday and Sunday! On Saturday, a friend of Neils' mom threw me a baby shower in Santa Rosa for some of his parents friends. Peggy has a beautiful home and the shower was so much fun! It was really nice to get out of the house and be out in the sun. Meanwhile, Neils treated his dad to a round of golf for Father's Day. All in all, it was a great day! I have posted a couple of pics from the shower below so you can see how big I've gotten. I can't imagine getting any bigger - how can there be any more room????!!!!!! My ribs and lungs beg for your mercy Mr. Baby!!

On Sunday, we celebrated Father's Day by taking another baby class. This time the subject was Newborn Parenting - a 5 hour class about changing diapers, car seats, bathing, soothing the baby, etc. It was good information, but uncomfortable for me to sit in a classroom type chair for that long!

This week we will have our final baby class, interview a Pediatrician and go for my last ultrasound!! Hopefully everything will go as expected and Mr. Baby will not try to arrive early! I have a good feeling that he will stay put for at least a few more weeks.....we really need to get to 36 weeks, so that's 1 more month.

Update

We went to get another ultrasound today to check my cervical length and it HAS NOT changed!!! This is exactly what we were hoping for! I guess the bed rest is good for something. I am now at 30 weeks, so the Dr. ordered 6 more weeks of bed rest. I go back in 2 more weeks for another check and hopefully we'll have the same results. We also got to see how large the baby is and he is at approx. 3 lbs 10 oz., which is good. Big, but not too big!

We were supposed to go to Lake Tahoe this weekend with our friends Ernest and Ozzie (who are in from Houston), Justin, Ryan, Erin, Jason and Amy, but doctor's orders prevented us from going :( They will have a good time regardless, but we sure wish we could go!
