Productive!

This has been a very productive weekend, if I do say so myself. 

Friday was Cowboy Day at Talan's school.  I tried to get some pictures in his cute costume (Thanks, Michelle!), but he was not very cooperative. 

I wish my kids posed and smiled ... Oh well!

Hunter wanted in the picture, too, but neither would cooperate.  I give up!

 Friday night, Nana came and picked up the boys for a sleepover.  While they were out, I went out to dinner with some friends from work and Aaron went out with Richard.  It was so nice to catch up with the girls and get a night out.  

We were up bright and early Saturday morning to finish tidying up our house.  My wonderful mom paid for a housecleaning company to come scrub our house down since I haven't been able to do much cleaning the last couple of weeks.  I have to say, it's so nice to no that we're not living in filth.  Thanks, Mom!  

While they were cleaning, Amanda and I went to Target to pick up some newborn diapers, baby wash, and a going home outfit for Kenton.  Amanda reminded me that we did this same thing for Hunter.  However, with Hunter, my water broke as soon as we got home from Target.  Luckily, that was not the case this time!

Once Aaron came back from the grocery store and I picked up the boys, we went over to our neighborhood group's BBQ.  It was nice to learn more about each other and sit and chat.  Unfortunately, my boys were very tired and we had to leave early.  Hopefully we can do that again soon, though.

I have one word to describe today - WOW!  We got so much done!  We went to church and then came home to start laundry.  Today, I have done a total of 7 loads of laundry as of right now, with at least 3 more to go (Those will probably be done tomorrow at this point).  I also made some homemade chewy granola bars (YUM!), and made Chicken Tetratini for dinner (and one for the freezer).  Aaron went to play football with the guys and also made an awesome lamp for Talan's Mario room.

I am now officially 35 weeks and 1 day along in this pregnancy.  When we originally found out that I was considered a high-risk pregnancy, my doctor's goal was for me to make it to February.  Now, I've reached the end of February (almost).  I have two more progesterone shots and then it's go time, assuming that my amniotic fluid levels do not fall too much more.

Tomorrow should be a very telling day.  I have my normal NST, as well as a growth ultrasound.  During the ultrasound, they will check the development of all of Kenton's organs, estimate his weight, and then check the amniotic fluid levels.  The levels are allowed to be anywhere from 5-25.  Last Monday, they were at a 9, which they were a little concerned about.  Let's pray that they have stayed the same or possibly have gone up.

I will keep everyone posted!
