Last Wednesday we had our last ultrasound. Everything looked great and I am measuring exactly to my due date of April 25th. She is already head down and weighs around 5lbs 12oz. I am hoping Dana, our friend and ultrasound tech, is a little off or else I might be having a gigantic baby. Please pray for me! Dana also stated that she has big feet and a full head of hair. We are getting really excited to meet this baby girl and can't wait to see what she looks like. We didn't get any good photos because she wasn't cooperating, her face was to my back the entire time.
The Non-Stress Tests are still going good. Last week the darn machine kept eating the paper, so instead of laying for 20 minutes, I ended up being in there for an entire hour! The baby usually has multiple accelerated heart rates within that time, but last week we could barely get 2 on the paper. I know her heart rate accelerated more than 2x, but because of that stupid machine the doctor didn't seem too thrilled with the results. So, hopefully this week she does a lot better and that darn machine doesn't eat the results.
I also had 2 baby showers this past weekend, so I will post about those later. They were both a really good time, but man am I tired! Stay tuned to read about all the fun:)

What a Weekend!!
This weekend was a good one for me, but not so good for Gary. It all started with me coming home on Friday to hear that our sump pump was running non-stop. It has been doing that for a few days and we usually just unplug it and plug it back in and it works just fine. However, this time was different. I unplugged the darn thing and then went to plug it back in and nothing! I tried this 2 or 3 times to make sure there was still power and each time no pump. GREAT!!! I called Gary and explained to him what was happening, needless to say he was a little ticked off. (Our basement had just flooded about a week and half ago for about the 4th time, hence why he was a little upset.) So I sat next to the pump for about an hour with the wet/dry vac waiting for water to overflow and for Gary to return home to fix it. When he got home he checked the pump and the darn thing had fried. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! We just bought that pump a year ago and already it was junk. We were not happy. So, Gary had to run to Lowe's to get a new pump and I continued to sit next to the pump making sure the basement wouldn't flood. Finally at 9pm the pump was fixed and working great. What a great start to the weekend!!
Saturday morning Gary had to work and I had to run into work for a couple hours. We left Kodie at home to sleep in. Kodie called me close to 11am to tell me that the basement had flooded....WHAT THE HELL!! He said that he was getting ready to eat breakfast and didn't hear the pump and went down stairs and found the damage. Luckily my dad was on his way over and was able to get he pump going again until Gary got home. I'm not really sure why the pump stopped working and I really didn't want to ask since Gary spent the entire day sucking up water and I went to a baby shower. By the end of the day, the basement was water free, thanks to my hardworking hubby and son!
Sunday started out as a good day, but by mid afternoon, not so good for Gary once again. It all started with Kodie and I raking leaves and enjoying the weather. I had decided to take a break from raking because I knew I was going to pay for it later if I didn't. I went inside to do some laundry when I heard someone yelling in the back yard. I looked in the back and saw Gary stomping up to the house with his face as red as can be. I just got out of his way and let him do his thing, whatever that was. I then saw him and Kodie with 2x4's walking out to the lawnmower..yes you guessed it, Gary got the lawnmower stuck. Let me tell you, he didn't just get it stuck in the yard, he pretty much buried the darn thing. He had to tow the mower out using his trusty Pathfinder! (I hope you are all laughing as hard as I was when I found this out.) The poor guy just couldn't catch a break this weekend. The weekend ended with a good steak dinner that I made on the grill (this was my first) and then decided that everyone could use a little Maggie Moo's. Ice cream always makes everyone feel a little better, even after a weekend like this:)
Baby Update: This Wednesday we have an ultrasound to check fetal growth and to see which way she is laying. The midwife and myself think she is transverse, so I will be interested to see. Can't wait and will update everyone later this week.

Night Away
Last Saturday Jamie and I took a small break from everything and went to a bed & breakfast for the night. Kodie stayed with my brother.
First we went to Houlihan's for dinner. It was the first time we had been there and let me tell ya, it was good. Great food, great service and reasonably priced. It is on the west end of the Lansing Mall. I would recommend you try it. http://www.houlihans.com/
The place were we stayed was called the Wild Goose Inn. http://www.wildgooseinn.com/
It sits off Grand River in East Lansing. It was a very nice, very quaint place. We had an incredibly relaxing evening. If you click on the link below you can take a virtual tour of the room we stayed in.

Even our breakfast in the morning was delicious. Jamie had the french toast and I had an omelet.

Jamie in the tub. Too many bubbles!
Also, Kodie had his last hockey game of the season. We lost to the Lansing Capitals at home. Just a couple weeks off and then it's time for spring hockey.
Big Bear Tournament
Kodie's hockey team was in a Big Bear Hockey Tournament two weekends ago. The tournament was played in Jackson, Chelsea and Ann Arbor. We only managed to win one game in the preliminary round (first 3 games) and we came back from a 1-4 deficit with 5 minutes left to win 5-4 in the last dying seconds. We beat the same team in the consolation game 4-3 on Sunday. The game was played at Munn Ice Arena which is wear the Michigan Wolverine's play. Here are all the game scores: Beat Yellowjackets 4-3 (2/22), Lost to KZoo 3-2 (2/21), Lost to Grosse Ile 7-4 (2/21), Beat Yellowjackets 5-4 (2/20).
Sunday after the game Kodie, Logan and I went to BD's for lunch. My brother drove up & met us and we went to Troy to a sports shop called The Goalie's Den. Ty Conklin, the goalie for the Red Wings was signing autographs. I took a really cool picture of him with the two boys, but unfortunately it got screwed up somehow when I tryed to put it on the computer. http://www.thegoaliesden.com/currentevents.htm
