1. My mom and dad came to visit us a few weekends ago. Daddy and Cody worked hard to put out mulch around the house, and mom helped me around the house. We are very thankful for their help!
2. Cody passed Step 3! (As if we had any doubt!!!) That means he can now apply for an unrestricted license to practice medicine. He will not have to practice under an attending anymore, and he can moonlight if he chooses to do so. (Moonlighting is working at an urgent care or small hospital on nights or weekends, in return for good, independent experience, and a nice chunk of change.) I'm proud of you, sweetie!
3. We are officially past the halfway point of our pregnancy (at least if you are counting a pregnancy as 40 weeks). We were 20 weeks pregnant this Monday, June 27. We had another ultrasound this Thursday and were able to see Miss Madelyn moving around again. They confirmed that she is a very healthy little girl, and she continues to be very active. I'll be very surprised if she doesn't end up having her daddy's personality! We were able to see her in 4D again, but it was a different sonographer and she unfortunately didn't give us a 4D picture this time. Cody said he thinks she looks like me in her face. We go back on July 28 for another check-up, along with the nasty glucose test and bloodwork. Below is one of the 2D shots of Madelyn:
Mommy at almost 21 weeks, getting ready to go swimming!
4. I went to the beach last weekend with Cody's mom and cousin and some of their friends. It was a nice relaxing weekend, but Madelyn and I missed Cody! Cody was stuck at home working long hours. While we were there, we had to make a trip to the Carter's outlet store, of course! Madelyn has added some cute little outfits to her closet, ranging from newborn to 9 months.
5. We received our first item off of our registry: our stroller travel system. It arrived while I was at the beach, but Cody had it all put together when I got home. Thanks, Nana and Melissa! Hershey is not too sure of the stroller yet--he doesn't bark at it, but he tries to stay away from it. We'll have to get him used to it before Madelyn comes, because I'm sure we'll have lots of family walks in our neighborhood.
6. We have been working on turning our office into Madelyn's nursery. Part of that means getting rid of my desktop computer and using Cody's laptop as our family computer. Of course, right about the time we were doing this, Cody's laptop got a virus that he wasn't able to get rid of. So, he cleared everything off but then had issues getting it working right again. He finally was able to download everything he needed, and we have a fully working laptop again. He's been busy transferring pictures, music, and documents from the desktop to his laptop. It has been an ordeal, but thankfully, he is about finished with everything. Hopefully we'll find someone to buy the desktop and our old printer at our yard sale next weekend!
the belly is TOO cute!
