Week 38 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

I took Megan and Cheyenne to Babe’s Tea House in Golden for Megan’s 29th birthday! It was fun to spend the day in Golden. It was the annual Golden’s in Golden event – golden retrievers from all over the state flooded the city. Megan was in heaven! Tea and snacks were delicious. If I am having a daughter, I will definitely take her here.

I didn’t accomplish a lot of cooking this week, but at the tea house, Megan and I shared British biscuits with this cream imported from England. Oh my gosh it was so good. We also had backed bre cheese with cranberries and bread. Heaven on earth!

Week 37 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

Anya planned the sweetest baby shower for me! Her and her mom made cheesecake and brownies, catered delicious Mediterranean food, and orchestrated and arts and crafts project where we put custom images on planters. This was such a special memory for me.

I keep dreaming about Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Pot Roast sliders. The weather is cooling down a little bit and Drew and I are looking forward to the fall season. We want to spend more time hiking in Estes or Lyon with Louie

Week 35 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

Baby Danielson has popped! The baby is measuring perfectly with a strong heartbeat. Time is going by fast, but Drew and I are feeling prepared. Baby kicks are very strong. Next week we will get a scan of the position of the baby’s head to make sure it’s in the right position. Can’t wait!

Week 34 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

This kid can kick! I am feeling strong kicks throughout the day, but most activity is at night. Drew actually felt a kick for the first time this week. I have one more health test left in my pregnancy journey. The next OB appointment is at 36 weeks – then I go in every week until I deliver! We’ve been pretty calm throughout this process, but now I am thinking we need to practice putting the car seat in the car, making room for the stroller in the trunk. I also have no idea how to breast feed or how often a baby needs to be fed or bathed…. I am hoping this stuff just comes naturally!

The weather has been strangley warm in Colorado. Mid 60’s every day, even in January. But we are supposed to get some snow this week. Louie has a new blanket to keep him warm!

Week 20 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

I can’t believe we are halfway through this pregnancy! I have felt great throughout this whole experience, only dealing with a couple headaches. We heard baby’s heartbeat last week for the first time. Everything sounded healthy and normal. We have our anatomy scan on 10/5. I am excited and nervous for this scan. Excited to see baby again. Nervous to see if there are any issues. Either way, we are counting down the days till we meet our little nugget.

Week 32 out of 40 of Pregnancy!

Merry Christmas! Drew and I met my mom, sister and brother on Christmas Eve to go shopping at Park Meadows. Mike even bought a new Subaru WRX! On Christmas Day we helped my mom hang a massive tv at the Trilby property. We made a man lift attachment to go on the forklift to lift Drew, Mike and the tv onto the wall. I was in charge of operating the forklift. This project was executed perfectly, and the tv looks great! Christmas dinner followed, then a food coma followed after that. Little baby is doing great and we are just counting down the days.

Making a rack of lamb for the holiday’s has become my signature dish. This year, I made an herby punchy green marinade. It came out so so good.
