Clint's Room Slide Show

Lampson Falls Pic Show =]

Lampson Falls - Sneak Peak

So Mom, Moose and I headed to Lampson Falls to hike. I have to download more pictures but here is one of me that my Mom took with Moose and I at the beginning of the hike.

Laundry = Fun??

We started to get Clint's room together. The crib is up and most of his stuff is in the room. This weekend I plan on organizing everything and taking PICTURES to put up on the blog. I am washing many of his little items today. I have to say this is the only time I actually have ENJOYED doing laundry. Dan and I agree it just becomes more and more real as his room takes shape.

My wonderful girlfriends Heather and Jules threw an over the top baby shower for us Labor Day weekend. Everyone was so generous and thoughtful. I was so overwhelmed with emotion. I truly felt so loved and lucky to have such great friends and family members to share this experience. I have one picture to share. Behind me is the Mad Lib game we played which was H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. It reads that I will have the baby in Wal-Mart and he will be 28 lbs and 5 inches long. It was a really funny game. My girls are so creative.

I am going into my 31st week of pregnancy this week. The books say he is about 3 lbs and 15 or more inches long. He is still keeping busy. His favorite time is about 7pm at night. He gets going around that time every night for about an hour then he is all tuckered out for the night and so am I. I have a midwife appointment on Monday and our first childbirth preparation class Monday night. I meet with one of the pediatricians we are considering for Clint on Tues. I also have one more interview on Thurs for a job opportunity I applied for back in August. Its going to be a busy week.

It is a beautiful day here in the North Country and the leaves are just ravishing. I can't help but want to get out there and enjoy nature. I just love this time of year! I am hoping to store up some energy this morning to go hiking with Moose and my Mom this afternoon. I am thinking either Stone Valley Trail or Lampson Falls.

Bar Habah

We headed to Bar Harbor [or Bar Habah as the locals like to call it] for July 4th. We had a great time and did not want to return back to the North Country so soon. Below are some of the pictures of our trip.


This is our campsite at the Bar Harbor Campground.

During our first hike ... little challenging.

I am in the 90% but proceed with caution

For those of you not keeping up read this post first. My ultrasound and doctor appointment was moved up a week and I just got back. My placenta has fixed itself, HOORAY!! I do not have gestational diabetes, but as the midwife stated I FAILED the iron screen. Its probably because I do not eat red meat. I am going on daily iron pills.

Little Clint is still little Clint. The Rad Tech confirmed it once again during the ultrasound. We even have a picture of the "cash and prizes" shot. I feel that somethings should be kept somewhat private so that will not be be posted, plus I think posting it might make some men jealous and quite possibly border on child pornography. He still has a strong heartbeat 144. Per the Rad Tech he apparently has big feet. Which would explain all the excessive kicking around in there ... he has no room and he is very very busy.

One small morsel of bad news ... my midwife feels it would be better to restrict my travel at this point in the pregnancy because I am now in the third trimester it is a little too risky to have me traveling for soooo long in a car. While a little relieved that I will not be far away during this time, I also feel like I am letting down the team. I am hoping to work out a plan with my boss to help with accommodating this restriction.
