25 Weeks

We had our 24-week appointment (1 week late) and Jamie had her blood drawn to run a few tests. Everything came back good, except her iron was a little low. So now she will have to start taking an iron supplement twice a day.

I'll be flying out to Taiwan tomorrow for work. I'll be there for the next two weeks. Jamie has a list of chores to keep her busy while I'm gone.

Christmas "Vacation"

We were very excited to see our family over Christmas. The trip totaled over 1200 miles. We drove down to Milwaukee first to see my family. After Christmas we drove up to Jamie's parents in Minneapolis. From there we drove down to Iowa to see the Goecke side. Then we drove Jamie's mom back to spend New Year's Eve, and then we made it to Appleton where my parents met us to bring Minnie home. It was a great trip and wonderful seeing everyone. Below are some pictures from the week.

Baby's Room

My dad came up the weekend before Christmas to help move furniture out of the baby's room. We now have a crib and everything is starting to take shape!

23 Weeks

Yesterday, Jamie and I spent the day with the Junior Youth Group at church. It was a service event for the group, and we went door-to-door hanging fliers with Christmas service times. Afterwards, we played games in the gym and the activities room. It was a nice break from the rest of the week, but it was a little tiring too.

Jamie measures 39.5" this week. Minnie woke up from her nap and wanted to join her mom for the picture.

22 Weeks

Jamie and I finished the majority of our Christmas shopping this week. And, as I type, Jamie is busy baking Christmas cookies. I occasionally help out by taste-testing.

Jamie's belly still measures 38.5". The baby has been very active this week. Apparently, the baby is not only kicking and punching, but also pinching his/her mother!

21 Weeks

We are starting to get the baby's room ready for the little one. We bought a crib, and Jamie ordered the bedding that will set the theme for the room. Once we get the bedding, then we'll determine what color to paint the room.

Jamie's belly continues to grow; she now measures 38.5".
