Things are progressing in my belly. I'm getting bigger and it's becoming more difficult to do simple tasks. We still have 10 weeks left but getting my shoes on and off is starting to get tricky. I'm sure many more things will become difficult as I continue to get bigger.

Our baby bedding arrived this week so the nursery is slowly coming together. We also purchased a baby doll to help train Kirby. It has been interesting to see how excited she gets about the baby. She runs upstairs and sits outside the baby room looking for the baby. We can't wait to bring home the real baby in 10 short weeks...

Baby O'Hinrichs Shower...

On Sunday, November 27th Bridget & Amy hosted a Baby Shower for me. It was held at The Roost - Hawks Landing Golf Club. There were so many people that attended. We are so incredibly blessed to have all of you in our lives. Everyone was so generous, we couldn't be more thankful for all of you. Thanks to everyone once again...

Thanksgiving...

This year we have so much to be thankful for. First we were so incredibly spoiled by spending the Thanksgiving Holiday with both sides of our family. The entire Hinrichs family came to Madison to stay with us. We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house with all the O'Malley's and Hinrichs'. It was so special to have everyone together. This Thanksgiving we can be thankful for the biggest gift of all - the gift of life. Only 10 more weeks until we welcome our little one into the world.

Friday the ladies of the family got up and went shopping for Black Friday. We didn't start until 8 am, so we weren't the crazy people out at midnight. We shopped until around 2 pm and had a break for lunch with everyone. Friday night we went to the Badger Hockey game with Dave and Keri. Saturday we went to the Badger Football game with Amy, Linda, and Jim. Sunday was the Baby O'Hinrichs baby shower. The extended weekend was filled with lots of fun...

Refinishing Project...

Scott was given a really nice wood dresser from a friend when he lived in the Fraternity. We've been using it for additional storage for the past few years. It was in the baby room and I figured why buy a new dresser if we can just paint an existing one. I spent a day in the garage refinishing the dresser and I'm very happy with the results. If I'm lucky I will start to refinish my parents old rocking chair...

Baby Bump Updates...

I know I'm getting bigger everyday but it's crazy to look back on the pictures from ONE week ago. I'm officially in the 3rd trimester now, and I couldn't be more excited. Only 12 weeks to go! The nursery won't be updated until after Thanksgiving. We have our first baby class this weekend. It's all becoming much more real these days. On that note...we better start picking some names for our little one...

28 weeks

27 weeks - the first day of the last trimester!

Our glucose test results came back perfectly normal. However, my iron was very low. I wasn't surprised as I've always had low iron. It does help explain why I've been so tired. Hopefully the iron supplements will help to supply me and the baby with more energy. Other than that, everything is measuring just fine. My next appointment is the first week of December. I can't wait to hear the heartbeat again!

Minnesota Football & Mounds View Boys

This past weekend we traveled to Minnesota for the weekend. The Badgers played Minnesota in the annual "border battle" for the Axe. Scott went up on Thursday to spend some time with Jim and Linda. Unfortunately Jim had to leave for a conference in Florida on Friday morning so I wasn't able to see him while we were there. I drove up with Monica and Kaleb on Friday after work. Saturday was spent tailgating, going to the game, and time with friends and family. We went over to Trent and Jacqui's house in Coon Rapids on Saturday night. It was fun for Scott to see all of his High School buddies. Here are some pictures...
