Here's the baby news for those interested: (may be more than some of you want to know, but it is the easiest way to update all those that do want to know :)
The baby appt. on Friday went really well. All continues to be good... blood pressure, heart beat, baby is in "go" position, and now we just wait! They did say that I'm dilated 1 cm, but this could continue for weeks. We go back on the 17th if she hasn't arrived by then (that will be 39 weeks). All I have to add is that I'm definitely ready when she is! I can't really sleep anymore and my back is a wreck, but I think I am carrying myself funny now that I've gotten so much bigger. I really want her to be healthy and ready in her own time though - so we wait. :) Oh, I did test positive with the Group B test they did... this really doesn't mean too much (lots of women are carriers), but I will be given antibiotics when I do go into labor to prevent any possible infections to me or baby.
I also finally got to speak to anesthesiology. They say that my back surgeries really aren't an issue to keep me from getting an epidural if I want one, and that they will attempt it. The only problem may be that there is too much scar tissue to allow the catheter to go in (the way they give you the medicine). If it doesn't work, there are other options, but we won't know until that day SO... we'll see.
In other news... things are going well here, and are busy.
Shaye and I celebrated two official years of matrimonial bliss this past Tuesday (+ the 5 unofficial years we put up with each other :). We took some time for just the two of us... went to dinner in a fancy pub in a nearby town. It was nice to have a quiet "date night" for ourselves!
Testing out the timer on our new camera for
Our Anniversary photo:
I have since decided pregnant women should not wear horizontal stripes!
We have a few "little" things to do (Shaye keeps insisting the car seat installation will not take him long!) and I have been VERY busy at work, trying to get everything in order for the sub that will be taking my place. We have a GREAT paperwork program that they decided to "fix" this year and they successfully really screwed it up, so we do a lot by hand! And with parent-teacher conferences this week and next, it is keeping me on my toes.
In a side note, as a little prayer request: We also had some bad news...one of our very loved teachers passed away this week. He had been struggling with illness off and on for the past couple of years, but was too young (still has a daughter in high school) and was adored greatly by the kids in his class. They seem to be handling it pretty well, but it was a shock to all. We are keeping all of his family and friends in our thoughts through this difficult time.
We hope that all of you are doing well and love you all. Until next time...
