Christmas Pictures!

Last week while daddy was making deer sausage (over 1200 pounds were made) mommy and Schale took a trip out to see Katelin Moen (daughter of Tyler and Kylee). While we were there Kylee took some great christmas pictures of me! I tried to be on my best behavior and sit nice for her but sometimes I just got a little mad at her and mommy....how dare they make me wear a pink Santa hat! Don't they know that I'm a boy!!!!

Schale is one month old!

It's hard to believe that my little baby is already a month old. The time has flown by. I have another month off and will return to work on Jan 5, 2009.

Schale is getting so big. He is up to eating 4 oz now and loves his passy! He loves to come to grandma and grandpa's house too. I think we've been there every weekend since he was born. It's nice to have my mom help me too. What would I do without her?

Schale Bruno Welstad!

After several months of waiting and waiting Schale Bruno Welstad arrived on November 1, 2008 at 10:38 p.m. He was 6 lbs 6 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. He did arrive a few days early.

After several weeks of very high blood pressure I was put on bed rest. They then decided to induce me on the night of October 30 thinking that I would have a Halloween baby! Well Schale was not ready to come into this world on that day...so we continued into November 1. After a very very long day it was decided that he would have to be delivered via c-section. So after many many many hours and weeks and months of waiting we finally have our beautiful baby boy!

patiently waiting.....

I have never had much patience throughout my life, so you can about imagine how I am doing counting down the days and waiting PATIENTLY for the baby to arrive. I try to keep myself busy either by cleaning or watching tv or reading. But waiting has to be the hardest part of pregnancy, especially now that we are down to the last few weeks.

Movie Review

So my aunt Penny came down to stay yesterday with us and we decided to take in a show in the afternoon. She chose to go to the movie Nights in Rodanthe. I hadn't heard much about the movie but I did know that Richard Gere was in it. I figured why not....for a pregnant lady who cries too much to begin with this was not a good movie to go to. The whole story line was very good and the acting was good and the scenery was beautiful. I just wasn't impressed with how it ended. Did I mention I cried throughout the whole movie! So if you have seen it already let me know your thoughts...if you haven't...Unless you need a good cry and are in that kind of mood...I don't recommend it.

Swollen Feet!

When I signed up for the pregnancy thing no one ever told me about the swollen feet! They are huge and it doesn't matter what I do they just don't seem to get back to their normal size? I drink water all day long and of course we all know what happens when you drink water....

So my question is for all of those ladies who have been through this before....Will my feet ever look normal again? Or as close to normal as a foot is supposed to look?
