Friday I went to the doc for my 12 week appointment, heartbeat was good and strong, around 165 beats per minute. We have to decide by the next appointment whether or not we want to do the genetic testing, I am going to pass. The doctor seemed surprised that I am passing on it, I didn't do it for Peyton and really, if there is something wrong, what will I do about it? Any opinions out there? Curious what you think.
I went up to my mom's on Saturday to get Peyton's snow pants and boots to take her sliding, got home and realized we do not have a sled, ugh, my heart was in the right place my mind just wasn't working.
Saturday night we went to the Rodeo at the Excel, it was a good time. Out of 15 bull rides only 2 cowboy's stayed on for 8 seconds, that kind of stunk, but they are on the end of their tour so I can just imagine how beat up they all already are. We had dinner at the BonFire in Eagan, it was good but not as great as it usually is. You can catch the Rodeo on Spike TV Thursday nights, it is the World's Toughest Cowboy. They make reality TV out of everything these days. The cowboys are competing for their own ranch in Wyoming. They have to ride bare back, saddle bronc and bulls.
Sunday we stayed home, not feeling on top of things so we relaxed most of the day. There was a knock at our door around 11:30 am, a girl came through the door asking to use the phone she had just crashed down the road. Weird, right?! She did, she went off the road and rolled her car. She walked to our house for help. She is a student at St. Olaf and was on her way home to Chicago. She is okay, Cam took her to the hospital, slight concussion and hurt her hand a little. She is so lucky to be alive. Once again, we are reminded how short life really is and how important it is to be thankful for the family and Friends we are surrounded by.
What good is a post without a picture of Peyton! Right! In the pic above she is at my Mom's house, she takes the chair and puts it up to the counter and climbs right on up. Here she is going to do the dishes. She knows right where to push that chair dependent on whether she wants a drink, nuk or a snack! She is growing so darn quick.
Oh, she starting brushing her teeth now too, she does pretty good!
As soon as I can get her to cook and clean I will be set!!

Didn't do the testing for any of my kids. There is a risk involved with the test, and if you're not going to do anything about the results, then why take the risk - even if it is a small one!
My Dr. tries to discourage doing the test if the results aren't going to change anything for you.
I didn't do any of the tests either. I figured if something was wrong I wouldn't do anything and why be sad during the happy time of your pregnancy? Just my opinion. I have heard if something is wrong there are procedures they can do "inutero" (sp?) but who knows what they are..
Super cute pic of Peyton-- she's a little ham! : )
