Oregon

We had a nice visit this past weekend in Oregon!

We flew in on Friday and met my mom & Dan and Jeremy's parents for dinner at Helvetia Tavern! Yum! Jeremy's dad got the cutest Onesie and bib for our baby! Helvetia Tavern is one of Jeremy's favorite places to eat and is only in Oregon - so it was neat that they had baby stuff with their name on it! We stayed with our friend's Matt & Julie for the weekend

Saturday I went to the Farmer's Market in Hillsboro with my mom, Dan & Scott. They had awesome flowers so I bought some for Grandma Daisy since she loves flowers! I also got a pint of strawberries which I ate while we walked around. Then I went and got Travis & Darcie's wedding gift, Christal and Grandpa's birthday gifts since we were going to celebrate their birthdays on Sunday.

Saturday evening was Travis & Darcie's wedding - it was so good to see all our friends and others which I hadn't seen in a while! I found a super cute dress at Kohl's right before we left. Everyone was excited to see the baby bump and many people couldn't get over how 'small' I was - I took it as a compliment. The wedding was beautiful and the weather was great - wasn't too hot! We had a great time celebrating with the bride and groom! I was obviously the designated driver for Jeremy, Matt & Julie - so after the reception was over we made a stop at Taco Bell on the way home! LOL

Jeremy & I

Sunday we met up with Jeremy's family, grandparents and Aunt Marcy, Uncle Greg and cousins Kaelee and Danielle who were in town for a family reuinion. We celebrated Grandpa Dave & my sister-in-law Christal's birthdays at Prime Time for brunch.

All in all it was a nice weekend! It was nice that the flight to Portland is only 1 hour!

We'll be headed back in 3 weeks for my baby shower....I cannot believe how fast time is flying by! We're in the third trimester and time to get stuff done! I got a call that the crib arrived so we're going to pick it up tonight. I think we'll wait until Grandma & Grandpa come to visit so Grandpa can help Jeremy put it together :)

In other news, I'm betting there are going to be a whole lot of babies arriving next year! It was interesting to hear how many people are going to start trying - and that they're telling everyone! I hope they all get pregnant fast since they're all so excited to become parents! :)

28 weeks

Wow! I can't believe I'm already 28 weeks! I'm still feeling good, not too many aches and pain....yet...I know they're coming - I've heard that I should expect to hit a wall in a few weeks where my body is achy, can't sleep well, etc. Until then I'll enjoy feeling good!

After my last doctor's appointment I tried registering for a childbirth class at the hospital I will deliver at - umm...all full till late October. I found another local hospital that had some classes and by the time I called theirs were full too, thankfully the lady said she'd be willing to make an exception and let me into a class next month. Jeremy's schedule is really busy so we wanted to do a Friday/Saturday or Saturday class and there's lots but they are over a 4 week period. I'm glad to have got registered for that and the other hospital has the breastfeeding class at no extra charge!

Here's the 28 week belly shot:

We're heading to Oregon tomorrow for our good friend's Travis & Darcie's wedding which is on Saturday! I'm excited since their ceremony & reception venue is at McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse - which is where we had our reception. Luckily they won't experience the record breaking heat that we had in May 2008 - 95 degrees! Instead it looks like it'll be in the 70's - not too hot, probably just right! It'll be great to see our friends too!

I booked airline tickets for September 17-19 - my best friend Julie and my mom are throwing me a baby shower! :)

Crib & Quilt

So I got the crib ordered! Woo hoo! My mom was nice enough to get it for us! I had decided on this one and another one at a local baby store. When a friend e-mailed me a 20% off coupon for Babies 'R Us I made my decision - since the one at Babies 'R Us was now including a nice discount with this coupon. Of course I went to Costco after I ordered the crib and saw one there - didn't see if before, was really cute but Babies R Us did a 20% re-stocking fee so I figured it made no sense to pay a big chunk to cancel the order, I really like this one still :)

Here's a picture of the one we ordered!

Jeremy went to Oregon this past weekend for a friend's bachelor party and came home with this cute quilt his dad had a friend make for us! I think it's cute, Jeremy's Grandma Daisy will love it - she loves everything Daisy! :)

I'm feeling good that we have some of these big items taken care of!

The nursery bedding arrived today - I haven't opened the box yet but will head off to do that! :)

27 weeks

Here I am at 27 weeks!

All in all I have been feeling good still and sleeping well, I'm sure that's going to change in the upcoming weeks! I can't believe we're in the third trimester already - well I think I am even though my doctor said it starts at 28 weeks...either way I'm close!

I have found 2 cribs that I like but am going to explore the area and see what else I can find! Now that we're all unpacked and settled in I need to get in gear on getting the nursery going! :)

The nursery bedding is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday! :)

Great weekend, new doctor and travel system!

My mom and Dan arrived Thursday night for a long weekend visit. We got misc things done around the house along with hanging all our pictures plus some new stuff too!

I LOVE shaved ice - not a snow cone but shaved ice was something we used to get when we living in Hawaii - finely shaved ice with delicious flavors. After we moved here I noticed there were shaved ice stands all over town - so we finally tried them this weekend! Amazing! They even had the creme toping too! We went twice while they were here. We got our new front door handle and lock put on and some misc items fixed around the house. We ate dinner at a great pub downtown and had a great weekend!

I met my new doctor today and is great! I really liked him! I got to hear the heart beat which is always so cool when they put the dopple on my tummy. He said everything is looking good. I got back next month and then start going every 2 weeks after that.

Jeremy's parents were so kind enough to purchase our travel system for us! I really wanted to go with the Chicco Cortina system since I read a lot of great reviews on them. I had initally picked out a light pink and brown pattern - then last weekend while Jeremy's parents were here to asked what we wanted her to get. My mom is getting our crib so she said they'd get the travel system. Jeremy's mom is the ultimate bargain shopper and she was browsing online to see what color we wanted when she found a new color that just came out that is red and gray, it looked awesome and Jeremy liked it too - honestly I wasn't sure if he'd be okay pushing a pink stroller around LOL! Well, she ordered it and we got it this weekend! It's still in the box but I think we'll hold off on putting it together just yet.

I found online that the bedding set we picked went on sale ($100 off!) so I decided to order it and it was an additional 10% off with free shipping! Should arrive towards the end of the month - then we can work on picking paint for the nursery :)

We also did a nice long bike ride on the greenbelt tonight which was a blast!

26 weeks

Here I am at 26 weeks - got Jeremy to take my picture :)

Double Digits?!

I just noticed on my ticker up there I've got 99 days to go (well give or take)! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! I can't wait to meet our baby girl! :)
