March 8, 2009 - Week 21

I recently received a great present from Jean...6 massages. I went for my first massage on Monday with my favourite massage lady. It was great, relaxing and seems to help my lower back pain. My skin is still doing whatever it wants and it is hard to keep it under control. I went for my appointment this week with my new doctor. Our Negley baby's heartbeat was again around 150 beats a minute. My belly is expanding and I feel more and more pressure. I've also started to feel the baby's "fluttering" movement as well. So far everything looks good. We have an ultrasound scheduled for next week. This time we can find out the sex of the baby if we want to. I think I want to keep it as a surprise, but Paul isn't so sure. He said when I step out he will ask the doctor without me knowing :-) Too bad Pauli, because the doctor will not tell you unless the mother gives the OK. Paul and others will have to patiently wait.

On Tuesday, we went to see Paul's friend from Clarinda coach a big high school basketball game. Unfortunately they lost...one game away from reaching the state tournament. We then played co-ed volleyball game on Wednesday where we ended up winning. After work on Friday, we went to Urbandale High School's new auditorium to listen to a vocal concert. After that, we drove to Clarinda for the weekend. Jean celebrated her birthday and the family got together at the coffee shop. We had a nice time together!

Nedavno jsem od Jean dostala pekny darek...6 masazi. V pondeli jsem sla na masaz k me oblibene maserce. Bylo to vyborne, uklidnujici a zda se, ze to pomaha mym zadum. Muj oblicej si porad dela co chce a je tezke to drzet pod poklickou. Tento tyden jsem sla na kontrolu k me nove doktorce. Tlukot srdicka naseho Negley ditka bylo opet okolo 150 tepu za minutu. Me brisko roste a citim vice a vice tlaku. Take jsem poprve ucitila "simravy" pohyb ditka. Doposud vsechno vypada dobre. Pristi tyden jdeme na dalsi ultrazvuk. Tentokrat muzeme zjistit pohlavi, jestli chceme. Myslim, ze chci, aby to bylo prekvapeni, Paul je ale jinsiho nazoru. Rikal, ze se zepta doktora beze mne po odchodu z ordinace :-) Muzes si to zkusit Pauli, ale bohuzel ti to doktor nerekne bez souhlasu matky. Paul a ostatni si musi trpelive pockat.
V utery jsme se sli podivat na velky stredoskolsky basketbalovy zapas trenera, ktereho Paul zna z Clarindy. Bohuzel prohrali...jen jedna vyhra je delila od toho, aby se kvalifikovali do celostatniho turnaje, kde hraji nejlepsi ctyri druzstva z kazde kategorie (kategorie zalezi na velikosti stredni skoly podle poctu studentu). Pote jsme ve stredu hrali volejbal mixu a vyhrali jsme. V patek jsme si sli po praci poslechnout koncert stredoskolaku v jejich novem auditoriu. Po koncertu jsme jeli na vikend do Clarindy. Jean oslavovala narozeniny, tak se cela rodina sesla v kavarne. Bylo to moc pekne.
