Week 22

We have been in a bit of a health kick at the Schmidt house. Jeff is training for a 45 mile bike ride for MS on May 31st. So he has been biking and walking like crazy. Which means that he wants me to go with him. I try to keep up as best I can but I put my foot down biking 20 miles or waking up at 6 AM to go for a walk.

This weekend Chas and Jeff biked 20 miles while Kelly, Travis and I did about 5 miles. Picture me riding a bike. hehehe. I don't feel like I am over doing it in fact I feel great! Plus I am getting a mile walk to a mile in a half walk in about every other day.

Jeff and I have been watching what we are eating and trying our best to cut pop out of our diet. Jeff has been better at that then me. I still want a Cherry Pepsi every now and then. With all the health stuff going on Jeff has lost a few pounds. I am hapy for him but this is not what you want to hear from your husband while you are gaining wieght. It doesn't make me feel that great. So we have decided that we won't share that info with each other.

Joe's room is coming along nicely. One more Sunday of cleaning and I think we will be ready for that crib. I have a few small decor projects that are in the works too. So I am hoping that his room will be ready by the begining of June.

This coming week will be another crazy one at work. But I am hoping to slow down after this week. May is crazy both at KC and home. We have birthdays, a wedding shower, wedding, graduation and of course Mother's Day to celeberate this month. I was looking at our calendar and we are booked every Sat. in May. Poof just like that your month is gone.

Baby Stuff
from babycenter.com
Joe now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. His skin will continue to appear wrinkled until he gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his head and body is now visible. His lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath his gum line. Her eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and his pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.
