Finally a new belly picture- 8 months.

We skipped the 7 month photo. I will hit the 9 month mark on December 10^th, so look for a new photo then. If you go to August 8^th post you will see all photos side by side.

8 month photos

November 1st-2008 Crib Building

November 1^st Karch’s grandparent’s drove down from OK City to deliver their baby gift (crib) and dresser (gift from great grandma). As always it was great visiting with them for the weekend. The nursery is still not 100% finished. I hope to have it done by next weekend; we are still waiting on one decoration to arrive. Once it is complete, I will share photos with everyone!

COUNTRY CAMPING POTATOES

If you were at the baby shower and tasted the yummy breakfast potato casserole, my bet is you have been asking for the recipe. Well, thanks to Holly, here it is just in time for the holidays! I know I will be making this soon. COUNTRY CAMPING POTATOES 2 lbs. frozen hash browns1 stick butter, melted1 can cream of chicken soup2 c.

Put into a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan. Top with mixed butter and Corn Flakes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. **I usually add more cheese and more green onion…but it depends on each person.

31WK Check Up

Last Friday, I had my 31 week ultrasound. Karch was measured and now weights 4lbs 13oz, almost 5lbs. At this stage he should be pushing 4lbs. He is still in a funky position, the tech called him Yoga baby. I call it trying to kill mommy position seriously; he is all up in my chest. Everything else is good, he is developing perfectly. Thursday, I have an appointment with my endocrinologist. She will be checking to make sure I am not still producing Graves Disease because it can attack Karch’s thyroid. It’s not as bad as it sounds since I have great doctors keeping such a close eye on me and the baby. Tonight is our last night of Lamaze. I am really looking forward to this class because the previous class brings in their newborns and tells us about their experience!
