God's Reminder

Yesterday before I left for Sunday evening worship and Eric left for work, we went outside to find an awesome rainbow. We were so close to it, I was not even able to get a picture o the whole thing. The rainbow stretched across the entire sky, and I was sure the pot of gold would be in our neighbor's back yard. It was a great reminder from God of his promises and I am thankful He chose such a beautiful way to remind us.

I know these pictures are not that great, but imagine a rainbow with brilliant colors and pretend you can see it across the whole entire sky. Then you might have an idea of great the view really was.

30 weeks

Ten weeks to go! 3/4 of the way there, 1/4 left! Khloe should be about 15.7 inches long and weighs about 3 pounds. She is about the same as a head of cabbage. Her eye sight should be developing more this week, and that is about all the 30 weeks article says.

Khloe had her first trip to Disneyland yesterday, and I think she really enjoyed it. Just kidding, I know that does not count for her first trip, but we had a really fun time. There were hardly any people there, which was a big change since the last time we tried to go but it was sold out, and there were seven crying children in our party. This time it was one of the happiest places on earth. I don't have any pictures to share yet but I am sure Dad or Kelcey will post some fun ones soon.

Things are going good and Khloe is kicking harder and harder every day. I guess that is a good sign that she is getting bigger and stronger. Yahoo!

National Parfait Day

Donkey: You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Heck no, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious.

Shrek: No! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Ogres are like onions! End of story. Bye-bye. See ya later.


Enjoy!

29 Weeks

This week, Khloe is as about 2 1/2 lbs, as big as a butternut squash. She should be about 15 inches long, which I can believe because yesterday, Jennifer and I were driving back from Grass Valley, I could feel her pushing out in two places. She must have been stretched out as much as she could across my belly.

She is continuing to develop, especially her brain, muscles and lungs, and her bones are hardening more and more everyday.

I can feel her kicking all the time, so that is pretty cool. She really likes to give to a go around bed time just when I am trying to fall asleep, but it is a pretty neat feeling.


Today I am going to get the shot for in case Eric's Rh factor is positive. I have not actually been able to get a hold of any of his medical records, and I have to have the shot by the end of this week. We figured it is better to be safe than sorry, so wish me luck today! I don't actually mind shots that much, so I am sure it will be fine.

Everything else is going pretty good. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving this week and the Hoopers are coming this weekend for their vacation, and then we get to go to Disneyland. Eric starts his seven days off tomorrow, so that is always fun times. I know that I can't ride very many rides at Disneyland, but it is going to be really special to get to go with Kaya and watch her experience all the magic of her first real time. (She went once when she was around 6 months old. That hardly counts for her).
And they always need someone to sit and hold the coats and stuff. I guess this is my turn. Even still, I am excited to get to go with everyone.

"I'm coming flying dumbos!"

28 weeks and 1 day

Today I had another doctor's appointment. I passed the second glucose test, so no gestational diabetes for me! Yahoo. He said that I measured at 28 weeks and 1 day, and although he did an ultrasound, he didn't give us a picture of her this time. Oh well. Everything is still looking good; Khloe is breech right now, but she still has time to flip around before it really matters. I do have to a shot because I am Rh-, so he prescribed that to me today. I think I will do it...umm...next week. (I'll put it off as long as I can!)

Khloe weighs as much as a Chinese cabbage this week, about 2 1/4 lbs, and is aprox. 14.8 inches long. She is adding fat now and sporting eyelashes. She is also developing billions of neurons in her brain as we speak!

Everything is going pretty good here.
