I've never been the type of person who could just relax and do nothing on vacation, and combine that with being pregnant makes for a very tiresome self when I get back. Last week Joseph and I got to spend the weekend in Las Vegas with my coworkers. We had a lot of fun walking around all the hotels and gambling some. Trenton, your daddy is going to have to teach you to play blackjack because he is pretty darn good :) He ended up winning a pretty good amount of money! But then I lost most of it playing slots.....oops. In Vegas, you walk everywhere on the strip, so I definitely got my excercise in; and I'm pretty sure I made up for the past 7 months of not excercising as much as I should have. And poor Trenton definitely got his fair share of second (or third?)-hand smoke :( One fun thing we did with my coworkers though was tour the Hoover Dam! That was really neat to see, though every single one of us was worn out from that. But Joseph and I got to meet up with my mom and sister who so graciously drove the 4 hours from Bakersfield to come see us :) It is always wonderful to be able to see my mommy.
After the busy weekend in Vegas, came the next busy weekend and preparations for my baby shower! It was really fun to help plan and prepare for that. A good number of family and friends came for the shower and Trenton got some much needed items, which of course is wonderful and greatly appreciated.
Then came our 30 week check up! Trenton, Daddy and I are so excited that we get to meet you in just 10 weeks! Though we of course, me especially, won't mind you coming a few weeks earlier.....The check up went well; nothing too special of an appointment. I did meet with one of the two male doctors at my clinic though. I am very apprehensive about going in to labor when one of the male doctors is on call at the hospital but it was good to meet with him. It didn't really settle too many nerves about having a male OB deliver my baby, but that's okay.
One of my coworker's wife is an LPN at an OB clinic, and she so graciously offered to give us an ultrasound for free. So of course I wanted to take her up on that offer! On Tuesday, Joseph and I got to see our precious little baby again. In 3D :) Technology is so amazing and we are so blessed to be able to see our son before he is even born. She did have some trouble getting some good pictures of Trenton though because he is wedged so far into my pelvis already. Which she said when I do go into labor, will most likely help me dilate quickly; which of course sounds wonderful to me! But she also said that is the reason why I have to get up and go to the restroom every 15 minutes (literally) and why my hips hurt so much. But at least since I do have to get up every 15 minutes, the walking helps relieve some of the pain in my hips :) Trenton wasn't really cooperating too well with us during the ultrasound either. He kept putting his hands and feet by his face and moving around too much. He also seems to like sitting folded up in a little ball; silly boy.....we are pretty sure he is going to like to sleep with his hands by his face though so mittens are going to be a necessary investment for us. Trenton also has some big feet! In our last 3D ultrasound at 17 1/2 weeks, Trenton looked exactly like Joseph, but in this one we could see he has more of me in him as well :) He was making some faces for us too it seemed, so I really think he is going to have his daddy's personality. A life of laughter is ahead of us in our little family...... :)
Here are a few of the pictures we got of our sweet little baby the other day!
Look at that adorable little smile :) He kept that arm up by his face the entire time
This one looks like he is puffing out his cheeks like he is blowing bubbles or something, because the other pictures his cheeks and lips don't look that big. But who knows, I've always had pretty chubby cheeks too.....
This one he is completely folded in half. But still the most adorable little baby in the world :)
