Week 36

Well as of Monday, the doc says that I'm about 2-3 centimeters dialated .... so the baby "could" come anytime now. I'm instructed to stay off of my marshmallow man feet/ankles (I don't really have ankles anymore though) due to the extreme swelling I have going on and my rising blood pressure. So I will be cutting back from work this week, and next week may be it for work for awhile. 

I go back to the doctor next week to check the progress. So far so good! Head is down and this little person is ready to come meet the world! I'll keep you all posted as things progress!

New Ride

Well we made the leap ......

Good bye Truck

Hellooooooo Mini Van!

Mike decided to make the switch into a more family oriented vehicle about 2 weeks ago. Due to the baby on the way and 2 hairy monsters (Smokey & Gavin), the truck just didn't have the room. So the Colorado got traded in for the 2009 Town & Country Mini Van. It is actually pretty nice (I am slowly accepting that we bought this). I haven't taken pictures yet (but it's dark blue like the image abovc)... but you get the idea!

Now we have room for the baby, dogs to roam and our stuff! I see many road trips in the future..... but for now, we'll just stick to Port Clinton!

Week 34

Not too much new to report. The doctor says all is fine with the world. Just measuring 36-37 weeks instead of 34. Then looks to Michael and says it may be due to you being so tall. Thanks Mike.... big baby due to tall husband!
But nothing to worry about now. Go back in less than 2 weeks so we shall see what she says. In the meantime I am slowly cutting back on work, doing less and less. My feet/ankles don't allow for too much activity these days. They are swelling up to the size of my calves. The baby is movin and groovin pretty good. I think it is stretching out as much as possible to make more room.

Have a good weekend everyone!

4th of July

This Fourth of July we spent the weekend in Port Clinton. Lots of food, kids, dogs and laughs. We went to the winery, had a cookout, did some swimming and everyone had a good time. Sunday we even took a trip to the Bay (rented a golf cart of course) and saw a "different" side of Put-in-Bay.... since we had Ana with us and since I am not able to drink. It was fun and we saw lots of fun things.

Gavin had a rough weekend... the kids wore him out.

Smokey enjoyed being outside and all the attention.

Ana loved the Miller Ferry!

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! 

Showered with Love

Last Saturday, the 27th was the last of the baby showers. Mom, Amy, Kate and Jamie all pitched in to give me a great baby shower for the Holewinski side of the family. Of course since I am a control freak I had to have my hand in the planning as well. It was a fun relaxing time with the girls!

I received many fun gifts for Baby K.... And a few for myself! I had a really great time seeing all my friends and family. Thank you to everyone who came to help celebrate with me and my family. A special thank you to my mom for putting everything together. It was so wonderful!!

Most gifts are put away and we are almost ready. A few more loads of laundry and 2 dressers to sand and stain. Then we’ll be just about there!

More updates as I get the blog back rolling!
