One Week Closer ...

Well, it is the end of another work week ... and one week closer to meeting Baby Baratie :) We had our 5 month ultrasound on Wednesday ... and everything looked good. The baby weighs about 13 ounces now ... but trust me when I say that I have definitely gained more than 13 ounces :) Unfortunately, we didn't get very good pictures :( I was a little disappointed, but we saw some great pics on the moniter. We are considering doing a 3D ultrasound in about a month ... just because I want a better picture :) As for the answer to the obvious question ... no, we don't know what we are having ... when people ask, I say "a baby" :) Our baby furniture is in, and will hopefully be at our house tomorrow. We have the paint for the walls, just waiting for Erik to get in the painting mood :) I know that we have lots of time, but I just really want to get the room set up!

Unfortunately, Jenna was sick this week. She missed 2 days of school with a fever and a cold ... but she is back to herself now. We found out tonight that one of her gymnastics team members has a confirmed case of the H1N1 virus. We are being extra cautious and praying that we all stay healthy here. Jenna was around her teammate on Monday, so we are keeping a close eye on her and are stressing the importance of hand washing and not sharing food or drinks. It is just so scary. We are keeping her teammate in our prayers and we are hoping that she feels better really soon.

We are looking forward to a quiet weekend ... which is much needed!
