just a quick note to everyone… we had another appointment today and we will be having them weekly (cuz that’s what you do when you reach this point, apparently). i’ll try to post more often, although i’ve noticed that the majority of the postings – had i posted every visit – would be similar to this one:
everything is normal, good and progressing wonderfully! i took photos of katie the other night, i’ll have to post them… (she’s gotta big ole belly now)
it was actually quite humorous, after i took the photos of her we looked back at some of the previous photos we’d taken of her when she was about 20 or 25 weeks… and she thought she had a big belly then, my how things change 
p.s. if you’ve checked out the latest found web comic and started reading from strip one, you might understand why i’ve suddenly obtained a newfound want to play quake…

i ran the pole vault at a highschool track meet today – my sister’s been coaching the vault at Tartan HS and asked me to run the vault at their meet. post-meet, she asked if i wanted to go out to eat. she’d been craving sushi and there’s a new restaurant in woodbury, which i was looking forward to trying out… today i got my chance.
now the restaurant, Akita Sushi and Habachi, was very nice looking. The service… questionable at best. it took FOREVER for us to get even our waters, but once we did, the water had ice and was cold. they have two different methods of eating – ala carte or all-you-can-eat. now the all you can eat method is quite pricey ($21.99), but then again, we’re talking about sushi here. i can eat a lot of sushi. i’m writing this today to tell you exactly how much i ate (i’m not sure exactly of prices, but i did eat more than $22 worth), i had to keep the receipt – as a token of my victory over akita… the list:
- 1x Sushi Pizza
- 10x Unagi (my super most favorite sushi EVAR)
- 1x Snapper (sushi)
- 4x White Tuna (sushi)
- 2x Salmon (sushi)
- 1x Cucumber/Sea Clam Roll (6 pieces)
- 1x Rainbow Roll (6 pieces)
- 1x Crispy Roll (6 pieces)
- 1x Unagi Roll (6 pieces)
- 1x Spicy Salmon Roll (6 pieces)
now, we did check the ala carte menu at one point… 5x sushi = $5.99 (1x = $1.99), each roll was between $3.50 and $5.50… do the math, i done pretty good. i will be back as the food was VERY good – and next time, i make sure to get even more bang for my buck!

Actually, the appointment was technically yesterday, but i was a bit busy – so i’m writing today. Everything is going very well, all of the measurements that were taken are matching up. the heart rate was in the range of normalcy. Things are shaping up quite nicely.
We met with a different midwife this time because the midwife that Katie had initially chosen might be unavailable during the time of birth… so i think we’re going to be visiting with different midwives so at least we get to know the majority of them before the birthing process begins. With that in mind, we’re also doing a home-flavored, hypnobirthing class. we got the materials from the first midwife and that’s a TON cheaper than going to an 8-week class (and more convenient). We’ve been listening to CD’s at night – i haven’t made it past 10 minutes before i fall asleep yet – so i’m not really sure what they’re all about. we do have a book to read, a chapter every week, which i’ve been reading before we pop on the CD tracks. it’s a lot of hippie mumbo-jumbo, but it’s what Katie wants to do. So i being the awesome me that i am, am going to go along with it and help her as best i can… tis the least i can do at this point (i guess my work here is NOT done).
i’ve also started reading a daddy book – i forget the name and author, but then again, i really haven’t delved too far into the book as of yet. this, however, will change as i’m now done with the other book i was reading (the final book of the Left Behind series – i shall have to post about that some other time).
point of this post? things with baby are progressing nicely. please keep us in your prayers that these things continue to progress as they should. thanks
