We went camping with Jenn, Lance and Bentley. It was really fun to hang out and chat. It was a bit crazy for me as sleeping on the ground is rather difficult at the moment. The first night I slept amazingly well since we got there so late but as soon as I rolled onto my side the second night I realized my hips and shoulders were bruised so the second night wasn't so amazing but the food was good! Eric loves to use the dutch oven. I would rather just use our camp stove but I won't deny him the pleasure of using his manly out door skills... even if I'm the one that gets to clean up after him...
Friday night Eric and I watched Beauty and the Beast and Eric and Mae had their first bonding experience. Eric was lying on my tummy and pushing on Mae and bit and she ended up kicking or punching him 3 times right in the cheek super fast. They were the strongest movements he's felt so far! He sat up (a bit weirded out I think) and then proceeded to play a game which mostly consisted of pushing or yelling into my tummy till she responded to him. It was really fun to watch him be excited about her and I'm so happy to be starting a family with Eric. He's going to be a great daddy.
It's finally warming up outside! I'm sure I won't like it so much when I'm really hot but at least I don't have to try to find a coat that will still fit. I don't know what women where in the winter when they are 7 months pregnant.
The doctor's appointment was pretty standard. Asked me if I had questions, she measured my weight, tummy, and blood pressure and then we heard the heart beat. I guess the message got lost some how but because my placenta was low lying at the 20 week appointment I was supposed to have an other ultrasound this time but that didn't happen so we'll be doing that in 3 weeks. I'm excited to see if I can tell that she's grown since we last saw her. :)
Last weekend I went to the Timpanogos hospital for my Rho-GAM shot and to get my glucose tested. We got to see the delivery room and such. That was pretty cool and a bit scary to see where I would actually be meeting Mae. There were lots of tubes and wires in there...
We've been gaining baby stuff very slowly but I thought I would post some pictures of the cute stuff we have.
Some clothes and odds and ends... So cute. :)
Baby changer (FREE!) and bassinet ($30 at garage sale!)
Graco travel system stroller and infant seat ($25 for the combo!!!!)
Lily checking them out.
Big thanks to all who've contributed to Mae's wardrobe and to my sister Kim for finding the matching stroller, car seat and bassinet at a garage sale for a killer deal!
And to Daddy for picking up the changing table for me.
And to Lily for the safety inspection.

Isn't it amazing how many things a tiny baby requires? Crazy.
Cute stuff, Katie! And I had to break down and buy an expensive maternity winter coat when I couldn't zip mine up anymore. So that sucked, but I don't envy you being pregnant in these hot summer months! haha By the way, you better let me know when you have a baby shower!
kate! That basinnet is adorable! Nice find! Also, that quilt is so darling. Did you make it??
Yay! I can't believe you're over half way done! Thats crazy!
