I also broke out in a rash on my right arm recently.  I looked it up and seems to not be harmful but of course only 1 out of every 300 pregnant women get it and I have to be that one!  Also the doctor told me I may not have to have a Cesarean because my placenta is low but not so low it is covering everything.  Just still have to not lift anything, total abdominal rest and not do anything strenuous (so not doing anything for exercise but going for an occasional walk....boring).

Chris also let me buy the first baby outfits which were really fun.  My friend Sarah also got me three outfits for her and bows for her hair.  Can't wait to use them ; )

This week, Chris and I had to make a very unexpected and sad trip back to his home town.  We lost one of the best men I have ever met this week, Rex Bouldin (Chris' dad).  We were going to see him and Chris' mom this weekend for our reveal party and he definitely wanted us to have a girl.  We wanted him to Baptize our kids when they were born and have them call him "T-Rex".  While we were at Chris' parents house we planted a tree in his dad's honor and buried his mom's and our Palms from Palm Sunday with the tree (Rex loved Lent).  One of the best things that was said to Chris and I at the visitation was "Rex is now up there picking out the perfect little baby for both of you."
