This Weekend
I'll fill in a few other things from the weekend since Wes's post was all about the ultrasound. We spent the last weekend in Springfield (MO) with Wes' mom Cindy. Since I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday we were able to leave on Thursday night and spend all of Friday and Saturday there, which was nice. (It also meant three mornings of cinnamon rolls!)
Most of Friday was spent shopping for baby stuff, nursing bras--which are surprisingly hard to find--and a few other odds and ends things that one can't really shop for in the grand metropolis of Kirksville. Saturday morning we had the ultrasound and then in the afternoon I got a nap!!! We also found out at the ultrasound that the baby has turned head down (which is how she should be), which means her feet are in the perfect place to kick me in the ribs--which would explain why my ribcage has been sore for a couple of days!
Saturday night we went over to Landen and Greta's house to eat, carve pumpkins and talk--just generally enjoy our last time to hang out with them until after the baby gets here. (Greta and I also managed to get Brandi hooked on this wonderful new makeup I discovered, find out for yourself at www.pureluxecosmetics.com.) Doctor Greta said that Addison is just the right size and will hopefully get here on time, but, sadly, probably not early, something I was beginning to hope for at this point.
Then Sunday it was off to church, lunch and packing up to leave. On our way home we stopped at the Ha Ha Tonka State Park (just outside of Camdenton) and walked one of the trails. The leaves have all started turning and are much brighter in southern Missouri than they are up in the arctic of Kirksville, so we enjoyed the chance to get a closer look, but sadly we forgot our camera, so we don't have any pictures to share with you. We even braved a flight of stairs up to the top of a bluff that had a warning sign at the bottom saying only the physically fit should attempt the climb. I'm not sure a pregnant woman in her third trimester counts as physically fit, but we made it up and only had to stop once. All in all we had a wonderful weekend, thank you everyone!
