  • Baby Update

    Just a quick update on our Dr. appointment and ultrasound yesterday …

    We had our ultrasound today and did learn some things. Right now baby girl is weighing in around 8 lbs, 4 oz. at 36 weeks. I am also carrying a LOT of extra amniotic fluid – not swelling so much anywhere else other than my tummy, but determined that that is what has been causing my constant nausea and throwing up … all the pressure on my stomach and stuff. My Dr. said that a lot of times when there is that much fluid the uterus will be tricked into thinking that the baby is closer to due date than she is and so the best hope would be for her to come any time now, and that is a possibility. However, b/c my uterus is also so extend b/c of the extra fluid, there is a small chance of a rupture if I go past my due date or placental hemmorage which would require a transfusion. So, if I go past my due date (1/25), it’s a c-section for sure. So, bottom line, pray that she comes early!! Weekend plans include loading the baby seat back into the car and getting all the suitcases packed and ready – maybe that will inspire the girl to come on out and meet us. 🙂

    I want to share about our wonderful Christmas and such … hopefully later today I’ll get a chance. Need to run out for dog food and a few necessities…

    It’s been a while since I’ve uploaded some cards I’ve done … I have had a few orders over the last couple weeks, but thankfully, not many. Just enough for a little extra spending cash for Christmas and to keep me slightly creative. 🙂

    This one is my favorite – a guy from church who has his own business and wanted to see if I could come up with something that said Christmas/woodworking/construction. Umm, yeah.

    Today is Travis’ last day of work before Christmas and he doesn’t go back until next Wednesday. Both he and Noelle are trying to come down with colds, so we got out this morning and stocked up on orange juice, Halls, and some medicine to get us through the weekend. (I didn’t want to be the Mom out on Christmas morning trying to find someplace open). We have no plans other than family hang-out time so I’m excited about that. We’ve got Christmas movies here to watch, massive amounts of chex mix from yesterday cooking to feast upon, and no where we have to be until church and family stuff Christmas day. It’s all good. 🙂
