I guess it's about time for an update. Several people have assumed that we were at the hospital because we did not answer our telephone! We'll try and keep everyone informed via this blog as the big day approaches.
We had a doctor's appointment on Monday. We've been going in every week to check on things. So far everything looks good. It has become very routine to go to the clinic... they weigh you, take a urine sample, and check your blood pressure. Then Dr. Ortiz comes in and measures the height of the belly, listens to the heart rate of the baby, and answers any questions we may have. That's about it! On our way out we sign up for another Monday appointment and hope that we won't make it until then!
I still feel great. No real changes in how I feel in the last few weeks. I have been attending lap swim about 5 times a week this summer which has felt wonderful. Along with some house work and teaching private lessons, we try and do something fun every day. Yesterday we drove up the Icicle Road in Leavenworth to check on the river which has taken over the road after an avalanche this spring. You can check out this remarkable story here. It's a real shame because there are some beautiful campsites, a ranger station and a great hike that you can't drive to anymore.
This morning we brought our bikes to the Apple Capital Loop Trail in Wenatchee. It's a great five mile ride around the Columbia River. It's fun to people watch, see the artwork and flowers on the Wenatchee side of the river and see the desert landscape of the East Wenatchee side. We took it pretty slow, but really enjoyed the warm sun on our backs and the great views.
By the way, I figured out how to add links!!! Click on the underlined words to learn more! :) You probably already figured that out...
