4 Month check-up and More!

Well we've had a busy week in the Swindle household. This past weekend Rob, Sara, Joe and myself threw Mom a surprise 60th Dancing Queen Birthday Party. And we totally pulled it off! She was so surprised! Sara flew in for the Labor Day weekend and I kept her hidden at our house until the big reveal on Saturday. Mom was so proud of me for keeping a big secret from her for the last 3 months! We then spent some time with the family and the dogs on the boat on Sunday-it was a great day.

While I was out to breakfast with the girls on Monday-I came home and Rob had been very busy. I walked upstairs to our bedroom and Rob had demolished and completely removed the entire closet at the top of the stairs. We are starting the process of getting the nursery ready! Yahoo! The next step is to get someone in to re-sheet rock the area-and then Rob is going to paint, texture-and some other things that I don't really understand. But I think that we are going to be going with our original nursery that we bought a few weeks back instead of the one below. Here's the one that we are about 98% sure we are going with. I had to contact the manufacturer because there were some pieces that I wanted to purchase but you can't find them anywhere-they told me where to go and look-so hopefully we will find it.On to more exciting news--we had our 4 month check-up yesterday with Dr. Piquard. It went fantastic. She gave me a prescription that I can use on my face-so now I don't have to find a dermatologist. We listened to Bean's heartbeat-165. Dr. P said that we have a really happy baby in my belly--let's hope that he/she stays that way once he/she pops out! I tried to talk Dr. P into letting us come back in 2 weeks for the BIG sonogram-she really wasn't having it. So we have to wait until October 1 to find out what kind of baby Bean is. Only a few more weeks to go! Rob and I both have our gut feelings-but we will have to wait and see if we were right!

Found out last night that Rob and I are going to have another niece! Lucy is going to have a baby sister!

Doug and Michele are due the week of Christmas-so Christmas will be all kinds of different this year! Rob and I in Durango with Mama Donna, LeRoy, Carole, Eric, Chase and hopefully Aunt Gail and Uncle John-and Doug, Michele, Lucy and baby in the hospital...Santa may have to come early this year for the Sullivan/Pearce/Swindle clan.

Have a great week! Rob and I are headed to Lawrence this weekend for our first KU game of the season-I'm getting excited because the weather is changing to fall already-bring on the cold!
