To the Third Trimester we go

Yay! Officially into the third trimester and final stretch of the pregnancy.  I am still suffering with migraines but I am hoping they get better in the third trimester.  I have had one since last Thursday so going on 7 days tomorrow.  Hoping that with some sleep tonight I can get it to go away.

We had to make an unscheduled visit to the doctor on Friday because the migraines, heartburn, and swelling were bad.  They wanted to check a few things out and hook me up to a monitor to see how the baby was doing.  All news was good news.  Baby was doing great and moving a ton.  My blood pressure was 102/58 and everything else looked good.  The doctor changed my heartburn meds around and it has been awesome ever since.  I am still taking some pain meds to help the migraines but other than that everything was good.

We are happy to be in the final 12 weeks and are more excited than ever to meet baby Henning in just a few short months! Thanks for following us on this journey! More to come soon!

Baby Shower in Houston

Thank you all who attended my baby shower in Houston and a special thank you to my mom Sharon Gray and good friends Cynthia Lowery and Ashley Helm who put on a great shower! It was so great to see all of my friends and we enjoyed the baby games and all the wonderful gifts.  Scott and I really enjoyed being back in Texas and spending time with the friends that we love so much! Here are a few pictures from the shower in Houston.

Week 26 Update

The baby is growing and getting so much bigger.  I have noticed a great deal of movement and I am starting to wake up in the middle of the night due to movement.  Last night I had a bowl of noodles on my belly and it was moving all over the place.  We are very excited that we are just a week away from the beginning of the third trimester.

My migraines are still hanging around, but I did start acupuncture last week.  We are really hoping for good results from the acupuncture visits.  The past few weeks have been better.

We had our 24 week appointment a few weeks ago and it went really well.  I had to take the glucose test to make sure that I do not have gestational diabetes.  All test results came back normal.  We have our next appointment the last weekend in July.

Scott and I are very excited to head to Texas this weekend for a wedding and our baby shower.  We are very excited to spend the weekend with close friends and family.

I will try to update soon! Love you all and thank you for following along with us on this journey.

Busy Busy Busy

Hello everyone! It has been some time since I updated the blog, but we have been very busy.  Work has been very busy for both Scott and myself and we have had some house guests.  Last weekend we enjoyed time with Scott's Aunt Caroline and Uncle Scott who were in town from Texas, and his Aunt MC who was in from Colorado Springs.  We also got to spend time with Kyle, Scott's brother.

The weekend before we were very blessed to have four college students from the Philippians stay with us.  They are part of the University of Santo Tomas Singing group that is on a 3 month tour of the US. They were in Colorado for a week and put on a concert at our church.  We were able to be a host family and really enjoyed spending time with these four young ladies.
