Bryan only worked four days last week so that was a nice break to have him home during the middle of the week and it broke the week up nicely! We did however spend most of the day at the Vet on base trying to get Bella updated on her yearly shots. Remind us to never again go on walk in day lol However that night the Club was having their Club Membership Appreciation Night so we were able to go to that! With Bryan working Swing Shift we rarely get to go the events that happen during the week. So it was a nice midweek dinner out =)
This last weekend Bryan and I went back to The Harbor church, the one that has service on Sunday night. We really enjoyed it again and I really do think we found our 'home church' for the rest of the time we are in Okinawa. It's just such a great group of people, and we feel at home there! Next Sunday night they are having a potluck dinner before service so that will be fun to get to meet more people at that!
We were suppose to be having a HUGE typhoon yesterday BUT it was a bust lol We didn't really get any bad weather even though it was ranked as a Category 4 Typhoon. It moved too far east of the island and out to the ocean so we just got a little wind and rain. Nothing too terrible and we were a little disappointed that we still haven't got to experience a REAL typhoon yet! Bryan did however get the whole day off, so that made for a nice three day weekend!! Today we actually got more rain than we did yesterday and today we are not any typhoon/storm warning! Here is a satellite view of the Typhoon Guchol which was suppose to overtake our island, this was live last night at 8:30pm our time!
On to Baby News:
Friday I had a Doctor's appointment, and found out that Little Bennett is growing a ton, because he is measuring a week AHEAD! The midwife said that would put him at around four pounds, at least he is growing =) I also met with a new midwife at the OB Clinic, there are three midwives and I will see all three before I deliver that way I get a chance to meet them all. So far I really like this one, the first one was okay but this last one was great she was super informative and just seemed to have a better attitude! I was also greatly surprised that in the 4 weeks from my last OB appointment I had only gained another pound! That is just crazy, I honestly thought I would have gained more, but I am happy that I didn't lol So I am a up a total of 15 pounds now (and I blame my trip back to the States on 10 of those pounds lol) My next appointment is not til July 13th and I will be 36 weeks then, almost to Full Term!
I was able to finally sign Bryan and I up for some classes that we had to take, so we start those next week! Being able to sign up for classes and realizing that when one of those classes gets done (it's a six week class), I will be just one week from my due date is crazy!!! Bryan and I can hardly believe that we only have 51 days til Bennett's due date, too us that is insane! This pregnancy has gone so fast!
Since Bryan had yesterday off we were able to get some things done in the nursery! We were able to get quite a bit of stuff hung up on the walls and now they don't look so blank! I wish we could paint or at least not have wood panel walls, but those are not changing so I guess we have to live with them haha Today I was able to get one of the curtains done!!! Now I just have two more to sew ugh those things are awful to iron and pin to get ready, the sewing I don't mind its the prepping I hate!! Here is a little sneak peak at what we hung up yesterday:
So as of today we are 32 weeks and 5 days along, I'll be 33 weeks on Thursday. In the last couple days it seems the uncomfortableness of pregnancy has really set in. Sleeping is the worse, whenever I lay down the heartburn and indigestion comes on full force and that is just nasty! Also my hips and lower back are having a heck of time with laying down as well, I wish I could sleep sitting up then I would probably sleep a whole lot more than I am! Thankfully I haven't experienced anymore swelling except for when I flew back home, so I am happy about that! The humidity here is torture! We have 100% humidity most days, so when the temp is 84 degrees it feels like 104 degrees! Not really the type of weather I want to be out in! We invested in some more fans so now Bella and I camp out in front of those most nights and just let our hair blow in the wind lol And here is the 32 week Bennett Belly, excuse the hair and red face we had just gotten home from a birthday party that had been outside at the park all afternoon!!:
Well I think that is all for this week's news! This coming weekend we are having our maternity pictures done! I am so super excited for those and can't wait, hopefully the weather plays nice for us and we don't have to reschedule!!
