A glance at last week

What has been going on in the last week?

Wednesday 

Matt picked up an extra midnight shift at work, he started his work week a day early. In the last 8 days he worked a total of 90.5 hours! In addition to his hard work he was able to catch up on all his latest anime shows and read 2 entire books.

Thursday

There was an emergency at the Y with a man who fell back into the pool when he was trying to exit. He took in a lot of water and needed to be rescued. I was the second guard on the scene and had to push the alarm button. After being taken away in the ambulance he is doing well. 

Also, on Thursday I starting feeling lots of fluttering from little Squirt. He is starting to make himself known and I love it!

Friday

Meredith, her friend and I went downtown to 16th Street Mall (google it, it's a cool place) to check out the first ever H&M store in Denver. It was huge, busy and beautiful but we bought nothing....

Saturday

We went on a double (blind) date with a cousin's friend who moved from MI to CO 5 years ago and is due with their first born in April as well. It was fun getting to know them and we hope to get together again soon. It's really nice to have someone who is in the exact same stage of pregnancy as I am. (Thanks Stephanie)

That night when we got home from dinner I was sitting on the couch with my hand on my bump and I felt my fingers move with the same movement I felt in my belly! It was the first kick that I know of! It's possible Squirt was kicking before but I didn't know what it was and chalked it up to gas or flutters.

Monday 

I woke up with more energy then I've felt since August and used it doing 5 loads of laundry, making a yummy dinner and starting dinner in the CrockPot of the next night.

Tuesday

I was feeling in the Christmas mood, even though I'm not allowed to celebrate before Thanksgiving I made Matt his favorite cutout cookies and listened to Justin Beiber's new Christmas Album.

Wednesday

Grandpa Koenes had a cancerous tumor removed from his colon. Surgery went well, the evening was a little drama filled but he is back to his old skin color and funny self. Please continue to pray for his recovery since he is in some pain and pray that the tests show that he is cancer free. The results should come in on Monday and if they weren't able to remove it all he will have to start chemo.

Thursday (Today)

There was an audit at the Y while I was the guard on the stand. The pretend victim appeared to be in trouble but I saw her take many breaths which confused me. After figuring out what was going on I jumped in and made the rescue. These random test we have 4 times a year really help put into perspective how important our jobs really are. I know I didn't do everything perfectly but I gained a lot of confidence in myself.

Tonight Matt and I will be going to watch Breaking Dawn, the newest Twilight movie, at midnight. I hope I can stay awake, I've been since 5:30 this morning.

Tomorrow we go to the doctor's for our 20 week ultrasound! I can't wait to see how much Squirt has grown! Video and pictures to come soon.
