Hogle Zoo

Before I get to the zoo outing I should update you on what has been going on with the pregnancy. I went to the Dr on the 22nd of Feb thinking that later that week we'd be scheduling an external version to try to flip her and that more than likely I'd be having her very soon after that if not that day. Imagine my surprise when the Dr did the exam and said "hmmm....not 100% sure, but it feels like she's flipped." WHAT!?!? No way! I could tell she'd moved because I didn't have this huge lump under my right rib killing me, but I thought she'd just moved her head to the middle of my ribcage. Plus, she'd started to drop which I could tell something was moving down and pushing on things inside me that are not keen on being pushed on. The Dr said that at the next week's appointment if she wasn't sure where the head was they'd do an ultrasound. I will say I was happy, but frustrated. I thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel and I was finally going to be done, but that day I realized that I'm probably going to end up "going the distance" with this and making it to/past my due date. At the next appointment she checked and was again pretty sure the head was down so let the waiting game begin. Now to the zoo...

On Saturday March 12th we went to the Zoo with Norman's family. It was Williams' 2nd birthday so there was a fun birthday party. I was very pregnant, but hoping that walking would help get her to come. Just in case you wondered...I was wrong. It was a fun day and we I had a blast waddling around looking at the animals. I found an egg and thought maybe I could hatch it, alas, I couldn't...

I found me a comfy bench (by the end I'd found lots of comfy benches) and Norman asked how I liked being pregnant, here's my response...

So there was a rhino statue. There were usually kids and people around it getting their picture taken. Once when Norman and I were walking by it was free. I said "Go stand by it and I'll take your picture" This is what we got...
LOL!!! I was laughing so hard!!! I love my husband!
Here's a better picture :)

This is the last "pregnancy picture" I have. I felt much bigger than I look.
It was a fun day and it was great to see Norman's family. That afternoon the guys had a diaper party for Norman which was a lot of fun for him. They went to dinner and a movie and we got some great diapers and even some more outfits! Thanks guys! We really do appreciate it!!!
