28 weeks and counting...

Yesterday we went for my 28 week appointment. At 20 weeks a test came back with an elevated protein level so our Dr. said that beginning at 28 weeks I will be in the office once a week and he'll be monitoring him closely. Also, I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes, which means that Hunter could end up being larger than average and the Dr. will monitor that closely as well. So, yesterday we got to have another sonogram of Hunter! We didn't get a full set of measurements so I don't have an updated weight this week, but everything looked great! He's right on schedule and all of the vital things they look at were perfect! Here's the latest picture of our sweet boy!
Look at that little hand...I can't wait to hold it! His eye is a little distorted because of the position he was in and the nature of the sonogram itself, but you can see he's going to be such a cutie!!!

Anniversary Trip/"Stay-cation" before Hunter arrives!

Last weekend Jeff and I headed to Fort Worth for an overnight stay to celebrate our 3rd anniversary! This will also be the last vacation we take with just the two of us for quite a while. After lunch on Friday we headed to the Omni Max theater at the Museum of Science and History (I think!). We saw Dolphins and it was good...not something that we would usually do. Then we headed to our hotel...Embassy Suites! It was such a nice room. We hung out and rested until we went to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House!!! It was so yummy!!! Our waiter bought us a cheesecake for dessert to celebrate the coming of our first child...Hunter! :) After dinner we headed to an improv comedy show called Four Day Weekend. We had been once before on my birthday and really enjoyed the second time around. We ended the evening in typical Jackson style...Barnes & Noble coupled with Starbuck's!!! I was enjoying myself so much I forgot to ask someone along the way to take our picture together! I did get a few shots of our room and a collage of things we did over the weekend! Hope you enjoy!
I can't get this one to flip! Sorry!

Update on Hunter's Room

Last week we received Hunter's new furniture!!! This is what his room looked like on Saturday morning.
Jeff and I assembled the furniture and got it set up in his room! Ok...so Jeff did most of the work and I just helped a little bit! Here's what it looks like so far.

Here's the pile of things that still need to find a home in Hunter's room.Here's Piper laying down in Hunter's room. She's going to be such a great "big sister"!
