No Baby yet...
Well today's the 29th and Baby Gavin and I are still hanging out. Everyone is doing well, and the anticipation is on the rise. Supposedly we still have 4 weeks left to go. Our next goal was to make it to my grandfather's birthday the 31st so we're fast approaching this day. Our next set of goals is Labor Day, Next Dr Appointment the 7th, and then my work's application deployment on the 16th Also my Great Aunt Jane's birthday.
After yesterday's weekly doctor's appointment I'm 2cm dilated, and 40% effaced. This was also what I was when with Morgan when we had her 2 days later. My OB even gave me his on-call schedule telling me when he'd rotating in this next week at the hospital (I'm not sure what he was or was not telling me by this). It would be marvelous if it would work out, but all the doctor's I've seen have been great! Jon and I would be blessed with any of them, but especially Dr. Bedia.
I'm the typical uncomfortable, and feeling huge, but am overall happy and extremely excited. Morgan is about the same, and is now asking when Baby Gavin can come out to play. Jon and I are both ready at any time, but as we all know this is between God and Gavin right now :o)
I'm tempted to take a few belly shots just to see what we can come up with, however that's still quite daring and I'm not sure if I'll accomplish it.
Until the next post....
May everyone be blessed!
Best Wishes,
Shannon

Temporarily Signing Off ...
My sister is officially moving on from WOI Channel 5 news as of last night. Her final night anchoring with the ABC network. She's happily accepted another position locally, and due to contractual obligations will be unable to appear to her fellow fans until 6 months down the road. I'll keep you posted as more details surface. Drop her a note if you'd like...her blog is www.amandakrenz.blogspot.com
Wishing her the Best!!!
Love ya'Sister!
Out of Commision...
Sorry about the lack of postings...I've unfortunately been on modified bedrest since then end of July. I'm just today getting back to work. For some unknown reason Gavin is ready to make his entrance into this world earlier than what he should. He weighed in at a hefty 4lbs 12oz at 31 weeks determined by an ultrasound. So with Morgan only being 5lbs 15oz full-term this little guy will far surpass her if he goes full-term. Plus I was given steroids for his lung development just in case he did come earlier. With that being said he'll probably be born with a full beard :o)
I'm officially now at 34 weeks, and am setting goals week by week to shoot for. Morgan will be turning 4 at the end of the week so we'd like for him to wait until after her birthday. The following week I have a Doctor's appointment, and then there's my Aunt Margo's Birthday following, and my Grandpa Krenz's birthday after that. All sound like pretty good dates to work with. Gavin is due the end of September (the 29th) so we've still got a little time on our hands (hopefully).
We also flipped our house while I was on bedrest. It was a great opportunity for me to let everyone in and watch them work away piece by piece on things. My mother-in-law Sharon and father-in-law Steve were the key pieces to getting things accomplished over the past several weeks. We're pretty much done, and have two major tasks left...windows/doors and the deck.

A bum deal...
Poor Morgan had a pretty bum deal going for her the week of Father's Day: Sunday/Father's Day...she fell from a bed and got a semi-black eye, the next Day Monday she was kicked accidentally by a teacher at Daycare as she was trying to help another child, Tuesday we were at the doctor's office nursing her lip, as she tripped and fell and split it open along with giving herself a bloody nose. We were close, but luckily no stitches were needed. I had to get a picture of Morgan's expression, which is exactly how she felt. She looks like she's been through a war, but just like Morgan she bounced back and healed quicker than either Jon or I would of ever done :o)

Nothing less than Inspirational!!!
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies, succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat on you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."

First "Pishing" Experience...
My mom and dad took Morgan for her first fishing/"pishing" experience a couple weeks ago. It was a little cold, but it didn't stop the fun from occurring. I guess she's a natural, and loved reeling in the line, as she didn't want to wait for the fish to bite. In addition she has a new found love of night crawlers!
Fish Lips...
Morgan at her best... :o) Sharon got this "classic" picture of Morgan during her Grandma Wednesday Swim Lessons. I'm framing this one!

Posting Out of Order...
I'll be posting some of our vacation pictures out of sequence, as I haven't had the time to get our film camera developed yet.
The last part of our vacation was spent in Troy, OH. Why Troy, OH? Well, Jon has family that live there, and they have the best Strawberry Festival in the nation (my opinion)! Anyone that knows my family, knows that the love of strawberries is a genetic string, that doesn't follow everyone, but many. I was one of those lucky people. Three festival famous items include their: strawberry salsa, strawberry doughnuts (which people will stand in line for HOURS, and HOURS for, and normally order between 3-6 dozen at a time), and Fulton Farm Strawberries.
They start off the festival on their town square Friday night. They have corporate "Bed Races," live music, and a food vendors everywhere. Everyone has some sort of strawberry concation...Smoothies, Pie, Ice Cream, Icees, and much more. I started off with a smoothy, and hot dogs, and finished up with the boyscouts homemade strawberry pie, which by the way sold out very early. We finished up the evening by a firepit with his aunt, uncle and cousins having great talk and cigars (I just enjoyed the company and conversaion by the way).
Saturday morning there's a huge parade in Troy, which leads to most of the festivities located off the levee. Jon's Aunt Kathy, and Uncle Terry had a float for the historic district, which won "Queen's Choice."
We ventured towards the levee that evening, where you will encounter tons of craft vendors, and again food. Every year they choose one vendor with best strawberry concation, last year's was Heavenly Strawberries...sugar cookie botton, cream cheese mixture, strawberries, and whipped cream. This year, I'm sure the doughberry would of won. This stand was sponsored by Krispy Kreme. Soo hold on to your blood sugar...This is a glazed cream filled Krispy Kreme, with whipped cream, strawberries, and then another layer of whipped cream. I didn't even try it, for the sake of my body. One of my favorites was the strawberry lemonade shakeup, it was extremely smooth and tickled all of my tastebuds. In addition, the famous porkchop on a bun. We had a wonderful time, and had a hard time heading back west... knowing we only had one more relaxing stop in Priceton, IL, before getting back into the city life again.
