The Crib and Changing Table are Complete

Well today was a really fun day. Mom came and got me around 11 and we went on our search to get a changing table. I had many ideas on my mind. Maybe we could find an old dresser and refinish it. Or maybe find something interesting at Goodwill. Whatever the case I was ready to find something. Mom and I tried a flea market and this cool $99 store in Alpharetta full of many many interesting pieces of furniture. Seriously, if you live in the area you need to check this place out. It is across from the old Dairy Queen on Hwy 9.

Well we did not have any luck at either place. We went to Babies R Us to get the foot board for the crib. While Mom and I were eating lunch Mom made the suggestion we go to Ikea. Well that was a great idea because we found our changing table. Here are pictures of the changing table and the crib.

28 Week Ultrasound

Sara and I went to have the ultrasound on Friday and everything looked great. The doctor was very pleased with Sara's progress. Her cervix and placenta look great. Claire also looks great. They estimated that Claire is weighing in at 2lbs. 14ozs. During the ultrasound they were giving us a good look at her face. Sara and I were watching and Claire was opening and closing her eyes. We both noticed that but the nurse noticed that she was opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue. That sounds like a typical baby of mine. Here are a few pictures that we got.

Here is our Claire. You can see her eyes, nose, cheek, and lips.

This is one looking down at Claire.

28 Weeks Is Here!!!!!!!

Hello to everyone. I know it has been a while since I have last written anything. So many of our prayers have been answered during all of this. I am very happy that Sara and Claire have made it to 28 weeks. This was our next huge milestone and now I feel the sky is the limit. Sara had a doctors appointment today and everything went great. She has gained 5 pounds over the last two weeks and Sara and the baby are very healthy. Sara told the doctor of her back pains she was having and they checked her to see if she was having contractions and she was not. The doctor said just continue to take it easy. It is so neat! They also told Sara that the current plan is to induce her 7 - 10 days before she is due. Her due date is December 30th or 31st.

Claire has been moving around a lot. You can see her kicking through Sara's stomach. Last night it looked like she was tap dancing in her belly. It was hilarious. She has been moving more and more. I keep trying to talk to her and see if she might respond. Nothing yet but I am going to keep trying.

Our families have been great over the last few weeks. Mom bought us a beautiful crib. It is 85% put together because one of the pieces was not made properly so they had to order me a new piece. It looks really beautiful. We got a mattress, a beautiful stroller, and a rocking chair from Dad and Deb. They came over for dinner last Friday and it was very nice to have them over. Sara's Mom bought the cutest dress for Claire. I am pretty sure it is the first dress that we have. She will look so cute in it. Heather gave us a huge back of clothes for Claire. There are some adorable things in there. I keep finding new things to buy Claire. Old Navy had the cutest little outfit on sale online for $6 but I could not see paying $7 for shipping on it. So I decided to stop by the Old Navy in Woodstock and just my luck they had one left. It was on clearance for $3.80. I was so excited. It is really really cute. Sara and I appreciate all of it so much. I just can never seem to say thank you enough to everyone.

Well that is it for now. Sara has her 28 week ultrasound on Friday and that gives me an excuse to take a half day. Love to all from both of us!
