Snow and Cribs and Moving About

In the beginning of January we had a huge snow storm! Dane Selch was really bummed it didn't snow that much when he was here at Christmas. We were given a little red snow shovel by mom and dad Hardy (thanks guys!!) and Dane was sweet and shoveled the walks one afternoon. It took him FOREVER because of the shovel size and mostly because of the large amount of snow. Unfortunately he had to shovel them again that evening and again the next morning. (: I'm sure the neighbors were very grateful!



He's so cute!


















Jan 12th we took our childbirth class. It was good and informative and if anyone knows a way to skip over the labor and delivery/birth stuff we would be very happy if you would share the secret!!!

Here is our 34 week belly picture- off of bed rest!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! I've spent the week getting back up and about. I had planned to get back to work at this point but because I'm such a limp noodle after all the laying down (and because of a fun fainting incident in the shower- Dane didn't like that so much) we held off another week and will try and get back to work tomorrow night. Fingers are crossed.

We Have A Crib! It is really cute. Some of our friends and Grandma Sweningsen helped us get the crib and darling sheet set. Thanks so much everyone!!! We love it and are very excited for her to use it!




This week's pic. She should be over 5 lbs now!! and loves to kick ribs and lungs and bladders and dad too! (:

I have had the most wonderful week being off bed rest and moving about. It's been nice to start cooking again, doing some cleaning, getting outside, going to the temple and church, and other things. I never knew how exciting the grocery store could be- I'm sure that feeling will wear off soon though. (: Don't worry. We've even gone on two dates!


We're getting really excited and are having such fun being the typical first time parents-to-be.

Christmas


We had the greatest Christmas! Because traveling is not an approved activity on bedrest, all of Delyse's family came and stayed with us. (Thanks so much guys!!!) It was wonderful to have them here to visit and we're so glad that all 8 of them sacrificed and stuck it out in our 2 bedroom apartment. They didn't even complain, well not too much at least ( :
