Recap

Last week had cord blood to baby blood flow checks and all went well. I also had two ultrasounds which both looked good and I got to see the cutest profile picture yet of Beaner. Until those, I really wasn't for sure if Beaner was super cute. But now I'm convinced. I'm not sure what I wrote last. Two weekends ago we went camping for the first time with our truck and I did really well. 12 hours of great warm sleep, even in a tent!
I had an awesome baby shower yesterday. The only thing that could have made it better is if people actually showed up! Okay, a bit of sarcasm there. Those who did show up were all amazing wonderful women and I am very greatful to have them in my life. My hosts did an amazing wonderful beautiful job. We had great decor, great food, great company, great people on Skype joining us, great games, and great gifts. I just felt somewhat bad that people I really thought were coming did not show. But what can you do?
Thank you to my hosts and all the help! You guys are AMAZING!

This morning I had a home nurse visit me. We talked, did paperwork, and chit chatted for two hours! We talked about everything under the sun and even a little about baby! My nurse is a wonderful sweet black woman. I bring up her color because half our conversation consisted of culture, race, and different areas in the country we have lived where we both had our sets of culture shock. I told her I am from South Dakota and until I moved to SC with my husband, I have probably seen one or two black people in my life! She laughed at me but shared the same stories with me when moving to Washington back in 1991 and being looked at funny because there were so many white people! Then we discussed Seattle itself, bringing ins:  all new shocks for both of us: sexual prefereces, politics, religions and lack of. She is a great woman and I feel very comfortable knowing she will be helping me out when baby Bean is born.

This afternoon I went to a non-stress test and we listened to Bean's heart beat for twenty minutes. I had a new nurse this time and we chatted a bit. She didn't say much about the charting and I forgot to ask but I'm sure if all is not well I will be hearing from them. In my non-professional opinion, all looked as it did last week when things were fine so I'm not really worried.

And that's your recap!
