Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday Auntie Kathy!! Today is Cal's sister's big 2-5!! We talked to her earlier in the evening and she was just heading out to celebrate! Sorry Kathy but the baby figured April 5th was a little early to be born, but hopefully it will be an April baby! Could easily wait till May though! Maybe Auntie Lesley or Auntie Lindsay's birthday?? Actually, sorry Linds but May 27th is waaayyyy... too late! Today was my last day of work ... phew! We went out for lunch and then we were supposed to have a meeting in the p.m., but when I walked into the meeting room I heard a big "SURPRISE"! My co-workers threw me a surprise farewell party! It was really nice of them and I got some really nice gifts, particularly a spa gift card to Pure Elements for a hot stone massage, leg exfoliation, paraffin wax treatment and spa pedicure!! Sounds heavenly! I'll have to decide when to book that. So for the next 3 or so weeks I am taking my vacation time (I have 4 weeks) and hopefully I won't have to start my maternity leave until the baby is born. I have some plans for the next few weeks - just odds and ends, cleaning, some errands, etc. And I'm sure we'll squeeze in some episodes of a Baby Story! Well, I hope everyone has a Happy Easter and we'll talk to you soon!

Luv Cal, Tracy and Baby

Dr.'s Visit!

At our doctor's appointment today the babies heartbeat was between 135 and 140 bpm. The baby grew 1.5 cm, which is a little more than average within one week! I actually lost .5 pounds for some reason, but since the baby grew so much it wasn't as much of a concern! I had the Group B Strep test done today, which isn't as bad as an "internal"! I am glad that I am past the 36 week mark because prior to 36 weeks the Sturgeon does not take you! We have a hospital tour booked tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. I've heard very good things about the Sturgeon so it will be nice to see where we'll be! One of the nice things about this hospital is that the room you deliver in is the room you stay in, where at a few other hospitals in Edmonton you have to move from the prenatal room to the delivery room then into the postpartum room within a few hours of delivering. Although I've heard at the Grey Nun's they have some pretty nice theme rooms (often hard to get though)!! But Grey Nun's is way to far from our house! Talk to ya all later!!

Love, Us
