Happy Birthday Elsie!

This Saturday was Elsie's first birthday! So here is a pic of us from this summer:

We are transitioning her to adult dog food right now, it was so sad to buy, our puppy isn't a puppy anymore :(

I almost forgot! We got our crib this weekend! We haven't put it up yet because we have to put away all the painting stuff in the bedroom first, but I hope to have it up by the end of the week, since my shower is this weekend, I want to have the room done so I can put things away. Hopefully I will have pics to post by the end of the week... then I am going to need help picking what color curtains to get!
Anyways, I hope everyone had a great weekend, and has a great week!

Quick update...

Today I had my 31 week appointment so I just wanted to do a quick update. Everything is on track with baby, although my dreams of a June 1 baby are quickly diminishing :( I asked and the doctor said that about 42% of women deliver late and only about 5% make it to 2 weeks late... oh well I guess. My mom is betting me that she will come early. My blood pressure was normal for me again, so that was good news, and I told him they took my blood late for the gestational diabetes test, and he said he would only be concerned if I was borderline, but I was only 88 and that is normal, so another relief :) We heard the heartbeat and it was 148, so that is good. He also said that she is head down, and her butt is right where I thought it was!
The doctor also gave me a nasal spray to try, not too happy about it, but I really hope it works because I really need something to help with my breathing. He thinks that the problem is more with congestion than asthma, which is what I think, I don't believe I have asthma, I think I just have really bad allergies... Joel gets mad at my self diagnosis though, I must get it from my grandma!
We are getting the crib tonight too!!! I hope to have it set up by the end of the weekend, we will see though... things always seem to take longer than I expect!
Oh! I have a flower in my yard! I was going to take a picture of it yesterday and post it, but I forgot! I will try to take a picture tonight to post!
I hope everyone is having a great day!

***UPDATE*** I want to go late for purely selfish reasons... the busiest week of the year at work is the middle week of May, so I really want to be able to work, it will be a thousand times worse for everyone to be a person short, especially me since I do so much of the prep work in getting things done. And I want June 1 because I am a huge Marilyn Monroe fan and that is her birthday :) Silly, I know. I keep telling myself when May comes around I will be praying for an early delivery though! We'll see!

This weekend was more fun than expected, which is always nice. On Saturday my mom and I decided to go out and look at cribs. We went to USA Baby, but really didn't find a lot there, plus I thought it was way more pricey than I wanted to go. So we went to Babies R Us and I picked a crib, and they do TRIP so I will get 3% back, which isn't a ton, but it's something! We also looked at car seats, which is the funny thing. I found one I liked so we were checking it out. We wanted to take it off the base, so we turned it so we could reach the back to get it off, then I straightened up the base. We were looking at it, and then we went to put it back on the base, and we couldn't get it on! I swear we screwed around with that thing forever! We just couldn't get it back on. Then a male customer came over and was watching us, which added to the frustration! Then he tried to help, and figured out the problem right away, when I straightened the base, I put it backwards! We felt SO stupid! I can't believe we did that. I just had to share though.

Today is Joel's birthday too! My mom always remembers because it is also Elvis's birthday. We were hoping we could do something fun, but it isn't looking good, we have to puppysit Presley for my mom, so we don't want to be gone for a ton of time. Oh well, though, maybe this weekend we will be able to go see a movie or something.

I am excited for the Bible Study tomorrow, I hope that everyone can come and has a good time, and that I can make it through, I am SO nervous!

I guess that is it, I hope everyone had a great weekend!
