As the baby turns

Today is officially 34 weeks into this pregnancy. It’s amazing how quickly the time is going! I am now going for check-ups every 2 weeks. A couple weeks ago, I started feeling minor twinges of pain lower down, and it felt different. After doing research online I thought that maybe Micah had turned head down. And yup! This was confirmed by my midwife at my last appointment. She told me that although it may cause more discomfort now, it’s definitely better long-term that he’s already head down. My next appointment will be tomorrow and we will begin our childbirth classes on Tuesday (much to Tim’s joy), so stay tuned for another update.

One thing that we just bought last week for Micah was our stroller! We didn’t put one on our baby registry since we wanted to get a certain kind (thanks to Amanda and G), which was only available online. After doing some research, I was able to find this Phil and Ted’s stroller online at Target. This was perfect because not only were we able to use our Target gift cards to cover some of it, but they also had a special short time offer for free shipping! We were very excited when we got it delivered to our apartment!

Also, Tim had blood work and x-rays this past week and he is still cancer free! We are thankful for God’s goodness.

Yummy Goodness

Before we bring you up to date, we had a couple of old news stories that were just too fun to pass up. First, back on July 30^th, we found out via a friend on facebook that it was Cheesecake Factory’s 30^th anniversary and they were offering $1.50 cheesecake slices. Well, that news was just too good to pass up. So, Kristen and I decided to be a little spontaneous and go out to lunch to indulge our sweet tooth. After enjoying an awesome burrito, we got a slice of Turtle Cheesecake and White Chocolate Raspberry. Can you say heaven on earth?

Speaking of, a couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Dunkin Donuts on Sunday morning before church. (No, we don’t often go running around to indulge in junk food, but Kristen had been craving donuts for a while. And since we had been dog-sitting at someone’s house that weekend, it was on the way to church—so we yielded to temptation.) I don’t know if you’ve ever faced the daunting task of staring at piles of mouth-watering sugary-coated goodness, knowing you can pick just one—well, let’s just say it’s not a choice one should rush in to. After careful deliberation, we both decided on the chocolate-covered Boston Cream-filled donut. After receiving our selection, we headed to a table, opened the bag and to our surprise found a third donut, a powdered sugar Bavarian Crème in the bag. When we went back to inform the cashier, she told us it was fine. (Perhaps they noticed that my wife was eating for two anyway.) Happiness is ordering two donuts and finding three. It’s the little things…
