This last month before baby arrives has been all about getting ready and soaking up two little babies before that number turns to three. Disconnecting from devices is so important for real connecting - hence my camera has not left its case in a long while, blog updates have waited and my phone has been on quiet. But I figured a quick little update was needed as we are getting very close to meeting this new little one!
Me & Baby - So, it's been twice a week appointments for a while now and zero issues for either of us! We are both doing great, no blood pressure issues, nothing. (Go figure my easiest and healthiest pregnancy would be at age 34/35 instead of when I was in my 20's.) Baby is doing fantastic too! Growing right at the same steady pace the entire time (between 70-75%). As of right now, we will definitely meet this little baby next week!!! How nice it's been to finally say "next week!".
So, eviction date of Friday, October 7th, unless anything changes or labor begins - then it's straight to the hospital for our repeat C-section. We've never made it this far in a pregnancy before.
All is well, looking forward to announcing his arrival soon.
Todd - Volleyball season and school are well underway at this point! His volleyball team is enjoying a successful season and a winning record. Todd is also completing some classwork that he is working very hard on - on top of picking up many things around the house and forcing me to put my feet up! :) The girls get so excited when Daddy gets home at the end of the day.
Quinn - Officially over a month of Kindergarten in her and she is doing great! We knew she would love school and adapt so well. She is excited to go each morning as she bounces down the sidewalk to the bus, and is excited to come home each day too! :) We love watching this little sponge just soaking up so much learning already and she already seems so much more grown-up. Quinn also continues to dance ballet.
Andie - This little cookie has been so much fun for me to enjoy and snuggle with all the more with extra one-on-one time with her during the day. I'm struggling a little with the thought of her not being "the baby" anymore, but really I know it won't change a thing. Andie is such a little love and continues to be the easygoing girl she has always been. She is a little smartie and really showing us so many new things lately. Also, her speech therapy is going beautifully. We are so blessed with the most amazing instructors/therapists that come to our house to work with us. Andie loves it!! Andie is obsessed with being like her big sister lately too.
That's a little of lately in a nutshell.
We have also been so lucky to have my mom here for the last few weeks. She has been helping out with many things to get ready for baby and with the girls. And just peace of mind that if we have to go to the hospital, we aren't scrambling to figure out arrangements for the girls. So grateful for that.
After a couple weeks of checking things off the list and getting ready- now I'm in full on relax and be a hermit mode - just wanting my only focus to be on taking it easy and spending as much time with our girls as I possibly can before being away at the hospital.
Our next update will probably be a baby one!
And I'll make up for my lack of pictures lately. :)
