100 days and counting - Kate and I are starting to freak out! When you go to the doctor for the first time they send you home with this packet of crap that tells you what to expect and what you will need before the baby arrives. today I looked at the list and realized we had purchased 3 things, 3 things! Really all we did was purchase a crib, mattress and dresser. So needless to say we need to start getting ready. Kate and I have a lot of things going on right now - Kate's job is of course in a state of flux because we know her MFG Plant is closing but where does KC want us to go next. Do we even want to move? We do love SLC! and I have a possible opportunity coming up with Petzl. Which makes this time very stressful for us. "One day at a time and evaluate options as they come our way" that is what Kate says and I have to agree.
Wish us luck!

Visit with Kat
Little Wee One and I had our monthly visit with Kat, our midwife, this last week. Kat happily informs me that so far, our pregnancy is normal.
I haven't felt Baby move yet, but she is not concerned as the placenta is at the front of the womb which provides another layer of "cushion" against the kicks and punches going on in there. I've had good growth and weight gain is on track (though she advises me to not fall prey to the chocolate milk cravings too often!) The weird tingling I've had right at the top center of my abs, just below the high point of my ribs is apparently also normal. I'd thought maybe it was Baby's little tuft of hair tickling me (just kidding!), but Kat says that it is my abs straining and potentially separating. I don't like the sound of that! But, most importantly, Baby Thunder's heartbeat was good and strong, which is always reassuring. So, back we go in another four weeks:)
Oh, and winter continues. More rain/snow and upper 30s/low 40s all week this week. I'm seriously beginning to worry that I will outgrow all of my warm clothes before warmer weather comes! Two more sweaters were retired this last week, so the inventory is quickly diminishing. Luckily, I travel to Roswell GA next week for work, so I'll be able to wear some of the properly fitting clothes that it is still to cold here in SLC to wear!
love you all!
