34 week appointment


i had my 34 week appointment, which was actually a bit late--more like 35 weeks. anyway, everything looks good. i have been having contractions, especially when i am walking alot or doing alot of physical activity. claire actually accompanied chris and i to the appointment, which was a nice change. she wasn't so sure what doctor r. was doing to my tummy or what she was hearing when he put the doppler on my belly. she sort of stared in awe. everything went well. the baby's heartbeat was 132 bpm, blood pressure was great, and i am measuring on target. he wants me to make it 2 more weeks, which will be full term. during which time, i am to take it easy so i don't progress on my own, especially since i've been experiencing contractions. i am at the point of weight gain that i ended with claire. kind of scary considering i still have 4 weeks to go. ugh. we go back early next week for our final ultrasound. both chris and i are very excited about this as we haven't seen this kiddo since 17 weeks. claire will join us at that appointment too, which will be fun.

Well, I thought I would spread the news to you so you could feel hopeful. Jill had her baby! It was a girl and they named her Sophie Elizabeth. She was 6 pounds and a few ounces and 19 inches long. It was a C-section as she was backwards and breech. She was two weeks early.

I'm glad that we won't have to wait too much longer to meet your newest one :)

That is exciting. Have you been to visit yet? I am holding out hope that this kiddo will arrive before her expected date of may 15th, but my kids and my wishes don't always seem to mesh. Oh well. I suppose I should be enjoying the calm.

I haven't had a visit yet - but since her shower was gender neutral I did run out and buy a few more girlie things to bring with me. I am most likely going to try to go this weekend to give them a chance to get settled back into home :).

We still want to see you guys - when are you free?

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...
