Gymnastics Competition Season Has Begun!







Okay, so I have been really bad lately about posting to the blog! Things have been so busy around here ... and I don't really see an end to the all of the craziness in sight! Gymnastics competition season officially started this Saturday! Jenna had her first competion as a level 5 gymnast. Things were definitely a lot different ... no more ribbons given to the girls for each event that they competed in ... and the judging was DEFINITELY a lot harder! The girls all did a GREAT job ... they took 3rd place overall for their team score. Jenna received a medal for 4th place on her beam routine for the 9 year old age level ... and a trophy for 10th place for her all-around score for the 9 year old age level. She was very proud of herself and I think that it was just the confidence boost that she needed. We have one weekend off and then we are off to Cleveland for the next meet.
Onto baby news ... we had an ultrasound last Wednesday to see if a c-section was going to be scheduled ... good news ... no scheduled c-section! We were definitely very happy about that. I am 33 weeks and have 7 weeks to go. At this point the baby weighs about 4 lbs 14 ozs ... which puts him in the 75th percentile for weight! The doctor asked Erik if he was a big baby and if he had a big head when he was a baby ... b/c the baby's head is on the bigger side! So ... we are thinking that we might have a pretty big guy! During the ultrasound, we could see him playing with the umbilical cord! ... it was really neat! We took Jenna with us to the ultrasound and she was really excited. When we asked her what she thought about it, the first thing that she said was that it was neat because "the baby had real human eyes!" :) We are finishing up getting everything ready ... everything is washed and folded and daddy just needs to finish putting all of the fun baby equipment together! The nursery is almost complete ... just need to finish up with some decorations on the walls. We'll keep you all posted on anything new!
