29 weeks

I missed this posting, but here is the 29 week photo.


We had an appointment with Dr. Mickleson (OB) on Friday last week. I told her that accd. to Dr. Jordan...my eye is a little worse. However he is not planning to change his plans as far as treatment, and not treating me while I am still pregnant. I reminded her that when we went to the perinatologist he said that I could have an injection, but if we could get to 35 weeks, he would recommend early delivery and then treatment of my eye. So she was going to call over to Dr. Jordan and discuss what to do. She did say that she recommended that I get some steroids to help develop the baby's lungs, just in case we need to go early. My next apt is in a week, so we'll see what the verdict is.

we "pulled the trigger"

Wow! baby Meyer is going to be sleeping in style. we have not spent money on furniture in a while, in fact our bedroom set is the one I got in highschool. So we have been thinking alot about this purchase. It is just a lot of money to spend at one time. So after multiple visits to many different places, and much hemming and hawwing...we picked this set. We actually ordered the crib, a 3 drawer dresser (that will serve as the changing table, and a 5 drawer tall dresser. Of course, there are always extras...the mattress, the changing pad, and the adult conversion kit.



this is how it looks as a toddler bed, however we didn't get the toddler rail.


this is a convertible crib so it changes to a full sized bed for when our little one is a bit bigger.



the color in these photos is called paprika, but ours is actually "espresso." It is almost black, but you can still see the grain of the wood. I am so glad to be done with this decision...and we actually got a pretty good deal on it. So thanks to my mom & dad that are responsible for the crib and the 3 drawer dresser. We look forward to enjoying them for years to come! :)

Halloween and beyond

Bella and Dan love to dress up for Halloween (ok, maybe more like Bella & I love it and Dan tolerates it). This year Bella was a pink piglet, and Dan was a purple monkey. They both loved to see all the kids dressed up and coming to the door.





this weeknend Dean is deer hunting...as of last night they had not had great luck...GO DEER! :) I was supposed to go to St. Cloud to see Sarah, but I just didn't feel up to it. The long drive, combined with the possible deer on the road, and that I have just been feeling more tired than usual these days, I bailed out...I AM SOOOO SORRY SARAH!!!

If you note my photo on the left, my belly is definately getting bigger...and I gained 10 POUNDS in one month!!! HELLO! TEN POUNDS! What the heck!?! I passed my gestational diabetes test, no problem...109. But, my hemaglobin and hematocrit are both a little low. Not sure if they will up my iron or not yet. My doctor also told me she would like me to switch to 8 hour shifts. I am not sure how that will work...I need to talk to my manager and see what we can come up with. I really don't want to increase the # of days per week that I am working...so we'll just have to see.

My mom came over yesterday and we cleaned out 2 closets in preparation to work on the baby's room. They look great! Thanks MOM! I love cleaned out rooms/closets...it just amazes me how much better it makes me feel when I open that closet door! LOVE IT!
