Good day eh,
Ok so the yooper voice in my head told me that was a good way to start today's entry, not sure if it is or not. Last Thursday we went to the doctor for another monthly check up, 1 more of these and then we get to increase frequency, a sure sign that August 25th is coming sooner rather than later. The check up went well, everything was good the heart rate of the baby was 147 and nothing we out of the ordinary. Ami measured about 28 which is where she should be for how far along we are...our next doctor visit is June 22.
Now on to important things, last night we were sitting at home watching the Wings whoop Pittsburg and the baby was cheering right along. It was kicking and punching right with us. It was cool, we could actually she the belly physically move, it is amazing that something so tiny can make that much of an input. The baby is tending to be more active from around noon time until late evening, so kind of quite first thing in the morning. The not so wierd cravings are still coming, a lot of apple juice and Rocky Road ice cream. Other than that, no other cravings. I have finally started doing the baby's room, at least my brother and I moved out the armoire. I have approximately 2 weeks until that first baby shower it is going by way to quick. I need to have the room done before then. Oh well, lunch is over so back to the grind. Peace out and GO WINGS! Oh yeah...Beat Boston!

Latest Rounds of Updates
Well alrighty then...let's see what's new? Ah yes, our nephew is marching on like a trouper! So far he has now come off the oxygen push and is taking milk. His heart flap has closed on its own and he opened his eyes briefly to look at his mom and dad! It has been an exciting first week of life for him.
We have had some excitement as well. Ami has developed a pain in her right hip/groin area. Today we spent some time at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak to make sure everything was ok and it was. We weren't really sure what was going on so we spent 3 hours on a monitor for fetal heart rate and contractions. Everything was normal as were all other tests run. Our best guesses, until next Thursday when the OBGYN tells us what's going on, is that the baby is growing and pushing on a ligament in that region and causing her some pain. They did an ultrasound today as well and told us the baby was head down, which they said was good. The nurses could not tell what the sex was but were guessing boy as the baby was stubborn and ornery today. It didn't want to keep the heart monitor on at all, I think it was kicked off about every 5 minutes.
Oh well, time to watch the wings game. We will update later with further developments! Go Wings, Go Pistons...and for the Love of God WIN a GAME Tigers...

Amazing Events
Well it is Thursday and I am sitting here at work reliving the events of the last few days in my head. It has been one whirlwind of a journey. For those who may or may not have known, Ami's sister Autumn is pregnant at the same time and due around August 15th. This was going to make it one crazy month for the first time Grandma.
Last Friday, Ami's sister went into premature labor and yesterday she delivered a 2 lb 1 oz baby boy who was 14 inches long! Mom, Baby and Daddy are all doing very well. His name is Aiden Aubrey Bean. I wanted to take this chance to say thanks to you who have said prayers for them so that all would go well. He will be in the Hospital for at least 10 weeks before he gets to go home but all things look well!
It was quite the chore to try and keep Ami calm through the whole ordeal, but I am very proud of the way she handled it, she did great! We now have a list of questions to ask the doctor on May 22nd that is a mile long and we know we are going to get the, "Where did these come from, you two are off your rocker" look from the doctor but oh well. Also, in one of our name books, there was this Chinese Lunar Calendar thing. I ran the process and it turns out that this predicted me, my brothers, Ami and her sisters to all be what we are, boys and girls. It say that our nephew was supposed to be a boy and yes, guess what it says about what we are supposed to have, that's right, all the willing that I have been doing hoping it is a boy, may not be paying off! This predicts a girl. Again we DO NOT know what it is and won't until it is born so keep guessing on the poll and that's all I have for now. I will work on Ami to let me take a picture of her and post it, but it's a tough sell! Peace out and GO WINGS!
