32 years later

On Thursday I turned 32, it's hard to believe, but it's a fact. Yesterday the family and Susan celebrated as Erin and Mom had parent conferences on Thursday. My family is so generous. I love them to pieces! On my way to work that morning I called my mom and congratulated her, on this date 32 years later, my mom is a grandma instead of a new mom. She admitted she liked the grandma role this year. Who can blame her right, I've heard the only reason many woman have children is because eventually they will be grandparents and can love, hug but send those sweet babies home when they get cranky.

On Thursday however, Corby made me dinner-pancakes. He tried his best, but there is a reason why I do most of the cooking, hehe... He also made me peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips that taste a lot like recess peanut butter cups-yum! What a sweet man for trying!

Update

I see it's been a while since I last updated the blog. Let me remedy that now. Since my last entry school's started again and I've gone to two doctor appointments. School is good, although there is one boy who is going to be my challenge. Overall my class is nice.
On August 24th I had another doctor appointment after school where Corby met me at the hospital. My doctor did the usual measuring my stomach and listened to his heartbeat. He said it was steady and strong, I was disappointed though because yet one more time Corby hadn't heard his baby's heartbeat. Just in the knick of time, the receptionist knocked on the door and asked if I was still there, to my relief Corby walked through the door.
I hadn't gotten up from having the doctor listen for the heartbeat, so I asked him if he could do it again so that Corby could get to hear his heartbeat. The doctor agreed and for the first time Corby got to hear the amazing sound of his baby's heart beat. I loved the look on his face as we walked to the car.
On Sept. 3rd we went to see a maternal fetal medicine specialist at the IMC in Murray, because I am a high risk pregnancy my doctor wants to leave nothing to chance. We had a third ultrasound where they determined that we are really having a boy! They asked us if we wanted to know and because we had gotten two conflicting answers before we thought we would have them confirm it for us.
The technician Cami said I won the prize for the most uncooperative baby, he wouldn't hold still for anything. He has been really active for the last few days. They couldn't get a good look at his face because his hands were covering it. Nor could they get a good look at his heart. Those are two areas that my doctor wanted to be sure were developing properly especially because of the medication I take, there is a risk of cleft palet and holes in the heart.
So I go back on the 1st of October to see if they can get a better look. Let's pray that everything goes well.
