Updates

I thought it was about time I updated a bit. It's amazing how fast this pregnancy is going. I'm down to only about 6 weeks left and I feel like I still have so much to do. A few weeks ago we found out Gideon's crib had been recalled (thank you, Laura) so that was one of the first things on our list to fix. Luckily we've been out of town so I haven't had to worry about him sleeping in a potentially defective crib. Today I had enough energy to take apart the crib, pack it up in my small car and take it back to Target. They were great about taking it back and we were able to purchase a new crib and get it all put together before Gideon's nap time. He doesn't like his pack and play much. Thanks so much to my friend Eliza for letting us use her van to get the huge box back to the house. It's hard for me to ask for help sometimes so I'm grateful for good friends that are able to help out. I don't like this crib as much as my old one but I guess it's the safety that counts. Plus Gideon could care less what his crib looks like as long as he has Bo the Bear and his blankie with him. I'm just glad that job is done. We still have some credit left over from Target and we'll probably order another crib for Hazel when it gets closer to her arrival.
This pregnancy is going well. I've had a bit of pain the last couple of months and I just thought it was ligaments stretching but my doctor thinks I may have a hernia. Sarcastic YEA!!!  With Gideon I had high blood pressure and preeclampsia and I guess this baby wants something big of her own. It's pretty painful and there's not much they can do about it until Hazel is born. At least my blood pressure is normal and I'm not swelling up with this one.
We've had some exciting trips the last couple of weeks. Gideon and I were able to go back to Indianapolis for a week to visit family. Anthony and Laura were in town from Alaska and we were able to see them, Will and Ethan. Gideon had a good time visiting his cousins and seeing Grandma T and Grandma D. We had a great time seeing everyone. We were able to visit the zoo with Grandma D and Gideon loved seeing the sea lions, walrus and dolphins. We only lasted an hour until we were all tired and overheated. We had a great week visiting with everyone but were very excited to see Daddy once we got home.
