here are some of the photos from Colorado. Dean was off hunting wild animals (pheasants), so it was just my mom, dad, bella, and me that drove out there. We drove through South Dakota's Badlands. The buffalo is at Wall Drug, Bella was super scared of it! To see a caption of the photo, just rest the cursor on the photo.
Wow-
I can hardly believe it is almost November! Our leaves have thinned out on our trees, except the ones in the back yard...they are really still holding on :)
We had a great time in Colorado...I will post photos in the next post. It was beautiful weather, and although it was a really long drive, it was worth it. We drove straight through on the way there and on the way back! Long trip...but great to spend time with my mom & dad...Matt, and Heidi & Aaron! H&A got a puppy while we were out there...a Bernese mountain dog...Story. Very cute little (big) girl.
I finally posted a new bump picture...it is definitely getting bigger. I am starting to feel somewhat uncomfortable, but I know it will just get worse, so I try not to think about it too much!
I should be doing laundry right now, but I am really trying to find just about anything else to do but that! What a procrastinator.
I am in a big rush, and don't have time to do a 24 week baby bump photo...we are packing up and heading out to Colorado for a much needed vacation to visit Heidi, Aaron, and Matt. I am super excited and hopefully will have lots of photos to share when we get back. In the mean time...just imagine my belly a bit bigger than last week! :) Have a great week/weekend!
My bump picture is late...I was working on photos on Tuesday, and got soooooo tired, I was just a total zombie. I went to bed at 8pm. Then I worked 12's on Wednesday and Thursday. So, there's my excuse :)
I had an appointment with Dr. Mickelson...the OB doc this am. Everything looks good...baby's heartrate was 150...and I am measuring right on schedule. I have gained a total of 12 lbs. That has me nervous...seems like alot! I am trying to be really careful about what I eat, and not to overeat. I don't want have tons of weight to loose after we are done with this whole thing.
I do think my belly has "popped out" over the last couple weeks. People have started asking when I am due at work...like patients and people that don't already know that I am pregnant. I still pretty much just feel fat :)
I got a comment from a girl named tricia that also has choroidal osteoma on my blog...I would like to chat about stuff, but you didn't leave your email address. My email is kellyjmeyer@msn.com so if you want to email me that would be cool. I never have really talked to anyone else with C.O. either. It would be very interesting to hear what your experiences have been. :)
Hope everyone has a great weekend...stay warm! It is rainy and cold here!
I have had the last week off of work and it has been awesome! I am thinking that it would be so cool to take "early retirement"...30 isn't too young is it? :) but I suppose I have to go back to work tomorrow. I am going to be working 4 12's in a row. Now, before I was prego that was really no big deal. In fact, I requested them all in a row so I could have more days off in a row. But last week after working only 3 days in a row I was ready for a 2 day long nap! I just don't have the same level of energy that I used to. Depending on how this weekend goes, I am going to ask my OB about it. At the beginning of the pregnancy, she made some kind of comment about oh, you work 12 hour shifts huh? I asked if it was a problem...she said not yet, but it may later. So I need to check into that.
not too much else going on here, just laundry, taxes, and one more photo shoot this week.
