Sorry to be so slow on blogging but it never seems like there is enough time to sit down and write it all out. I hit 29 weeks and the baby and I are doing well. I had an ultrasound on1 1/19/09 and Matthew is still a he! They are guess that he is the 41st percentile for weight at his age. The doctor cannot calculate the length at this stage. Everything is progressing properly and I will go back for another ultrasound on March 16th. I saw my regular OB on Monday and she also gave the thumbs up.
Bob and I had a surprise visitor last week. Bob’s brother decided to come and visit us in Dallas. He and Bob went to Arkansas over the weekend to see the Barnett side since Rick had not made the previous trips with us. It is always nice to have family come over.
Work is work. My goal is still to work until the day before Matthew is born. I only have about 9 to 11 weeks depending on when they decide to induce labor.
To answer one question we get a lot . . no we have not started on the nursery. Right now his room consists of a rocking chair that was my mom’s, stuffed animals, some clothes, a stroller and a car seat. We might inherit some hammy down furniture so I am waiting on that before going on a major shopping spree.

Ringing in 2009
I was happy to say goodbye to 2008. There were a lot of great moments like our friends and family’s weddings, conceiving Matthew, and buying a house to name a few. But there was just too much going on 2008 that it was nice to say out with the old and in with the new.
2009 brought me much cheer right away since my parents came in from California on 1/1/09. It was their first time to Dallas and it was amazing to see them since it had been over 5 months. Luckily the weather was in the 70’s most of the time they visited. You would have thought they were in Southern California weather but the lack of mountains and beaches brought you back to reality.
Bob started back teaching on 1/6/09 and he is trying to get back in the grind. It is crazy to hear the presents his junior high kids have gotten for Christmas such as the iphone and itouch. I cannot think of my parents allowing me to own something that expensive at that age. Plus I would have lost it or broken it before I got my money’s worth. . .
I am now going to the regular OB every two weeks until I hit 32 weeks. I am hoping that my specialist does not put me on that schedule as well since it is hard to have multiple appointments on the same day or even work. I have to come in early or stay late to make-up the time. This week is my first free week of appointments in the past 4 or 5 weeks! There is nothing wrong but they are just getting more cautious throughout the pregnancy. I am going to the specialist on Monday so I will be sharing ultrasound pics later that week. Maybe he will pose better this next time around.
