8 Weeks until Due Date

Hello everyone! I am happy to report that I am still feeling really well. No migraines for 3 weeks now.  I have been tired but feeling really well other than that.  I had a great trip to California this past weekend to visit friends and go to my baby shower hosted by Aspen Craft.  It was such a great shower and so nice to see all of my friends in Bakersfield.  I got to see friends from high school, college, church, sports and many other walks of my life in Bakersfield.  Here are just a few of the photos from the trip.

9 weeks to go

I had a great weekend with my friends Kathy and Danielle who came to visit.  Kathy flew in on Thursday night from Scottsdale, AZ and Danielle came in on Friday from Houston, TX.  We had a great time catching up and reminiscing on old times.  We spent some time at the pool, ate lunch downtown Denver and attempted to take in a Rockies game but due to a break in a water main downtown the game was canceled.

 

I am happy to report that I have been feeling well since the hospital stay last Monday.  I am hoping that the next 9 weeks go just as smooth.  We are very excited for baby Henning to join us in October.  I will head to California on Friday for my baby shower hosted by Aspen Craft.  I am really looking forward to seeing all my good friends in Bakersfield.  

10 week Count Down

Well, only 10 weeks left until we get to meet baby Henning and we could not be more excited.  We had a little scare on Monday that landed us in the hospital for an evening.  I was experiencing nausea and abdominal pain all day on Monday.  I tried to ignore it throughout the day but it got worse to where I needed to call the doctor.  I was also having contractions every 30 mins or so.  So, we took a trip to Good Samaritan which is the hospital where we will eventually deliver Baby Henning. It was a very good first experience.    As soon as I arrived they addressed me by Mrs. Henning and took me straight to a labor and delivery suite in a wheelchair.  The doctor on call did a full workup and ruled out all major heath issues for mom and baby.  In fact he said baby is very happy and healthy in there.  I was diagnosed with pain due to possible tear in my abdominal wall.  Since the baby has been growing it has caused my stomach to stretch which has caused the pain.  While in the hospital I had contractions that were about 10 mins apart and the baby was handling them very well.  All looked fine and we finally got home about 4:00am.  The past two days I have just been at home taking it easy.  I will be heading back to work tomorrow.

Everything else is going well.  We are just getting everything ready for the baby to be here. Scott is very busy with work and will be doing some upcoming travel.  I am very excited for all of my friends and family who will be coming to visit with me while Scott is out of town.  It will be so good to see all of my friends/family.  I am very grateful for everyone who is coming to spend time with me.  My good friend Kathy will be here tomorrow and will stay until next Monday.  I am looking forward to her visit! I will then go to Bakersfield the following weekend for a baby shower hosted by my good friend Aspen.
