So yesterday I took Grace in for a simple check of her SMO braces. (The ones she wears on her feet.) By the way that child screamed and carried on you would of thought I brought her in for amputation without sedation. The dr. had no more than opened the door and she started losing it. She has never done this before so I couldn't figure out what was going on, all this dr. does is touch her feet to take shoes, braces and socks off but Grace can not handle it at all. Whether she is in my lap or not, whether I am the one who is taking the stuff off or not, she just can't handle it. Best part the appt. is no longer than 10 minutes long. As soon as we walk out of the room she is happy as a clam! I felt so bad for the dr. and I kept apologizing for her actions but I also couldn't help laugh because it all seemed to so ridiculous since we put shoes and socks and braces on everyday and there are no issues with it! The only thing I can think of is she doesn't like Dr.'s with bald heads!
I had my 28 week appt. today. All is looking good, I got the lovely privilege of doing the glucose test today, the nurse in the lab gave me the drink and I drank it fast "and she said boy you must really want to get this over with!" I said, "no sense in prolonging the inevitable!" Then one hour later she took my blood and I was off to see the Dr. My blood pressure is still looking good but I am not getting my hopes up yet as problems with my pregnancy with Grace began to happen between 28 and 32 weeks. I will start going every two weeks now until delivery just so they can keep an eye on my blood pressure. I also had the privilege today of getting the flu shot, which I have never had before and was quite painless, and also the Rhogam shot, for those of you not familiar with this my blood is Rh negative so I need to get this shot so my blood doesn't attack baby if she is Rh positive. I felt like a pin cushion but I am done for a little while now with the poking and proding, next comes the Strep B test and then then spinal for the C-section!

Update Minus pictures for now!
So I broke my promise to you about updating with pictures last night. We did not get the pictures off the camera so therefore I do not have any to post. That is number 1 on my list of things to do tonight.
The Vrieze's have been going, going, going. In August we took Grace to see Sesame Street Live in La Crosse and I was quite amazed at how well the show held her attention. I wasn't sure she would make the whole show but she did and she LOVED it! I can't wait for next year. Over Labor day weekend we celebrated my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary and my dad's retirement! I still can't believe I am old enough to have a parent who is retired!
In September we had a wedding for some really good friends of ours, Scott was in the wedding and thankfully that was not only our last wedding of the past year but the last one for a long time that Scott will be in. From Sept. 07- Sept. 08 We had 7 weddings and 3 of those Scott was in!
We also spent a nice weekend camping with some friends. Thankfully we picked a nice weekend to go camping as the weather was not too cold but quite comfortable. Grace loved being outside and was a wonderful wake up call to all the people at our site! They say they are ready for kids but after that weekend we shall see.
At the end of Sept. we went to Pekin, Ill to visit some friends. While there we visited an apple orchard and the kids had a great time exploring the pumpkins and visiting the goats. We went to this same orchard last year when we visited them.
Last week we made a last minute trip to Indiana for my grandfathers funeral. He passed away Sunday October 5th. Grace did really well at both the visitation and the funeral and made the drive quite easy as usual.
I think now we are home for awhile. We have lots of work to do in the house before this baby comes and work has gotten quite busy so trying to do things after work doesn't always work. For those of you who are curious as to what we are having....We've been told its another girl. They are quite positive it is a girl as we have had 2 ultrasounds and the baby has had no issues showing us the between the legs shot. We may have our hands full with this one.
Other than that all is well. Grace is growing and learning by leaps and bounds. Her vocabulary has really started to take off and its fun to hold conversations with her. We enjoy watching her take in the world around her and learn what things are. (now only if we could get her to realized that an apple is small and round and usually Red and the big orange thing on our steps is a pumpkin we would be good!!!)
Hopefully pictures will be coming soon.
