On Feb. 28th we had a baby shower in Ankeny. Thank you to everyone that was able to attend, and those who weren't. Our baby is definitely spoiled already due to all of you! Chris made pulled pork and it was a hit! Everyone loved it, which is good especially since he spent half the night worrying and checking on it! Everyone that I work with also loved it since we had a lot of left overs.

Look at how well those fit his hand!

In the last couple of weeks we have spent a lot of time getting ready for the baby. On the 7th Chris decided to install the car seat in the Jeep. Turns out, it didn't fit! We couldn't believe it! We were so glad we had put it in early, but I probably should have let Chris put it in about two weeks earlier like he wanted to. Instead we spent the rest of that afternoon at Babies "R" Us picking out a new one :) The base is installed and it fits much better!

This past weekend we finished up buying odds and ends like a new phone for the baby room, batteries for all of the new toys and soothers, and a clock for the baby room. We also picked up the glider for the living room. Chris also did about four loads of wash in just baby things. He couldn't sleep on Saturday night, so he got up, did some wash and started putting things away in the drawers. We finished putting things away on Sunday and have almost everything set up now!
Today we had our 36 week appointment. The heartbeat was around 150 this is what the doctor tells us every time, so we are starting to think he just throws out that number so that we can't try to figure out what we are having due to the wives tale. He did say he thinks the baby is probably around 6 lbs right now. Due to the fact that my feet are swollen to about 4 times the size they used to be and the fact that my blood pressure is slightly elevated, we will have weekly appointments from here on out. He isn't overly concerned about pre-eclampsia because there is no protein in my urine yet, but he wants to keep an eye on it. He also thinks that the baby is head down right now, and showed Chris where the head and butt were (he did caution us that this could change in the next couple weeks).
