Baby Shower and Almost 29 weeks,

Last Monday was our 28 week mark and we had an appointment to see Dr. Aliabadi for our regular check-up.  The check-up was very normal- 45 min in the waiting room and 10 min with the doctor.  Everything was very routine so nothing really to report from that encounter.

We can really feel the little person wiggle a lot now as well as see Ally's belly move.  It's a little like whale watching though, meaning once you are looking at it or feeling for it, it stops moving.  Ally will feel it, tell me to look/feel, and then nothing will happen until I look away/move my hand.  I'm beginning to think our little bundle of joy doesn't like me.

We are in Saratoga Springs this weekend staying with Ally's sister and her family.  I came in for some work meetings earlier in the week and Ally joined me late Thursday night.  The real reason for the trip is that Ally's sister threw her a baby shower at her home.  I think it was a success, though I didn't hang around for the festivities.  I left with Jacob and his boys, as well as Adam (Ally's brother-in-law) and his kids to eat and then swim at the hot springs in Saratoga.  We had a good time and it appeared the ladies did as well.

I was able to spend a few minutes with some of the family I don't see too often which was cool, and it looks like we made off with some cool swag.  Bottles, lotion, blankets, gift cards, clothing.  Melissa (Ally's sister) bought a bunch of plain white onesies and clothing markers so that anyone who attended the shower could create an original design for baby Thompson.  We ended up with some very cool couture baby clothing that I'm sure will be all the rage this summer.  Thanks again to all who came and were so generous.  We hope to see you all again soon.
