Celebrating Angie and Ben's Birthday! We sang to Ben first, then sang for Angie.

So a lot has been going on since we last updated the blog! Today we are currently 30 weeks and 3 days! I can't believe we have less than 10 weeks to go. We have been so busy that time just keeps going faster and faster. So after our last appointment, we found out that I had failed the 1 hour glucose test and I am anemic. So we had to go in for a 3 hour glucose test and I started iron supplements. Thank God, I passed the 3 hour glucose test so no worries about gestational diabetes! Otherwise, everything else is going great! The baby continues to move a ton and my belly continues to get bigger and bigger! We have our next appointment in 2 weeks, then after that we go to every 2 week appointments!

The weekend of March 19/20, we had Eric's brother Chad and his wife Tani and their kids Ellie and Ben down from Minnesota. It was my and Ben's birthday on the 20th. We had a great visit and were happy to have 70 degree weather so we enjoyed most of our time outside! We always have a great time when they are here! They are growing up so fast, it makes me nervous for our baby! I feel like we have blinked and Ellie is almost 6 and Ben is 4 already! Makes us want to make sure we take in each and every moment with our little nugget no matter how crazy life gets!

After they left, Eric tore out our guest bathroom and we began renovation on that. We are super excited about this because that is our last project for the upstairs and we are done! Eric did an amazing job on the tiling and I did what little I could to help. We had an issue with the drain pipe for the sink and thank goodness Eric's Dad has skills! Steve and Nancy came last weekend for a visit and he helped get the pipe fixed and the bathroom is now complete! It looks amazing and we wouldn't have been able to do it without him! So, needless to say, while they were doing the manual labor, Nancy and I went on a little shopping spree! (I think we got the better end of that deal!) We got lots of good stuff for the house and it looks great! So thank you to both of them for all their help! I think it goes down in the record books that WE wore them out for once!

We have our first baby shower on April 16th and I am looking forward to seeing all of my family and friends! I am so grateful for Ricki for throwing us this shower and for all the people who are taking time out of their busy lives to come! This baby sure is lucky to have such great family! Other than that we are looking forward to slowing down a bit and enjoying our last few weeks of being just husband and wife! We will post more after the shower!
