Pictures as promised - Jack's haircut

And you didn't have to wait for months for me to post them!  I know everyone was just DYING to see them!  Ha ha ha!!!  The order is backwards, sorry.

We've Been Busy!! Updates

We've been busy the last week!

Last weekend Dean and I decided to go to Salt Lake and we took Jack to Liberty Park.  For those that don't know what it is, it's a really nice park in downtown Salt Lake City (ok, maybe not downtown SLC?).  I'd been there a couple times for work functions when I worked at the State Office of Education, but I'd never been on the other side of the park!  Let's just say we had to pry Jack away from the creek in the middle (don't worry Dad, it wasn't a real creek, but it looks like it was purposely built there for kids to play in, and it was shallow!)  He had a blast!  I took pictures on my phone, now I just have to figure out how to get them off and I'll post them.

Last week was super busy for me.  I had a doctor's appointment on Monday.  I finally gained a few pounds, which is ok.  Baby is fine, everything is fine.  I did, however ask my doctor if I'll deliver early again (actually at my appointment I was 32 weeks, so I specifically asked if I'll deliver in 2 weeks) and he said nothing points to that (although, it didn't with Jack either, so...).  I go back a week from tomorrow, and I'll be the same gestation I was the day I had Jack.  I'm sure I'll make that appointment and that day I'll be very happy!  Of course a healthy baby is all that matters, but a full term one sure would be nice too!  (I don't know, maybe I'm pushing it?)

I also had 4 tests this last week (and I only have 3 classes, so I had a test and a quiz in one class).  I take my last test tomorrow, which I'm NOT looking forward to.  The other 3 tests I took I got all A's, so I'm fairly happy.  I really wanted a 100% on the 2 I didn't get 100% on, so I'm not really happy.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I have high standards.

Jack got a haircut today!  Dean gave him his second haircut and it looks pretty good considering Dean has never cut anyone's hair before (he's shaved his own head, but that's it).  He used scissors and everything!  It almost looks better than his first haircut!  And considering Jack would not sit still, Dean did a fabulous job.  Dean survived the ordeal, but Jack barely did.  (kidding)  Poor kid did throw up twice afterwards from gagging himself trying to get the hair out of his mouth.  Not fun, since once was all over me.  :(  I'll post pics later. 

Ultrasound update

I had to have another ultrasound today at the hospital. At my last doctor's appointment my uterus was measuring 5 weeks too large and since I had an elevated 1 hour glucose test, my doctor wanted me to have another ultrasound to rule things out.

Fortunately everything is fine. Baby isn't too large and her water level is fine, which is a huge relief to us. The great thing is we got to see our little one again! She's measuring right on time (or as close to on time they can get). Her heart rate was excellent and she's looking very healthy! The great thing is the ultrasound tech flipped on the 4D part of the machine so we could see her in 4D! I know how lucky we are, since most people pay big bucks for these pictures and we got them free. Here's the best one. Isn't she beautiful? I think she is. :) I'm getting closer to my due date and we're getting more excited to meet our little girl!!!

Baby Shower

We were in California this past weekend for my baby shower. We had such a great time! Here are a few pictures. Please keep in mind it was really hot and I look dorky in most of the pictures.
