Long Time, No Blog!

So I feel like it has been forever since I blogged. In reality it has been about 2 weeks. whew! that is still a while isn't it?!

So first off, I have a new pic of our little bundle! the cord is floating around her chin, so it's not a super clean picture of her face, but last week it was right in front of her face, and made her look like she had a mean handlebar mustache! LOL

We officially have less than 30 days until our due date! woohoo! We are definitely getting excited. As you can imagine!

Last week was also filled with phone calls back and forth between the Transplant Team and me. Setting up those final "pre transplant" appointments before he is "officially" listed.

We decided that trying to cram the week's worth of appointments in so close before our due date, might be a little stressful as well as risky. So we decided on the first week of August. Which will still be stressful, as we will be toting around a brand new baby, who will be right around 2 weeks old. Which freaks me out quite frankly. Brand new baby in public is scary enough, but 2 weeks old and hanging out in the hospital is another story! So I'm pretty sure I will be wearing my "I'm a mean new mom, don't touch my baby" face the whole week, as well as keeping her covered and swaddled like there is no tomorrow. LOL

But at the same time, I am so excited to show her off to all the ladies at the CF clinic! We have had so much fun with them, and they share in all our excitement about our pregnancy progress. THAT'S what great health care is! People who actually care about you and whats going on in your life!

So that's really all I have for now. We have an OB appointment this evening, so I guess we may have more news after 6 pm, but I doubt it. LOL Everything is going smoothly, and that's the way we'd like to keep it!

34 week ultrasound...

So we had another growth ultrasound today. Everything is looking great! It looks like the little echogenic spot in her heart has resolved itself (which they usually do) and she is growing like a weed!

She now weighs 5 lbs 7 oz! We got a peak at her little face, but the cord was right in front most of the time. So she looked like she had a mustache. LOL I requested hair on her HEAD! Not on her FACE! LOL

Anyway everything is rolling along beautifully and we are definitely on a count down to see our baby girl!

And of course, a new 34 week belly pic!

Baby Shower!

So I haven't had a chance to blog about how wonderful the baby shower was! It was beautiful, thanks to lots of help from some amazing friends! It was a gorgeous day and I really couldn't have asked for more!

I hope everyone had as much fun as I did! I love party and event planning. It's sooo one of my fave things!

I already got the pics back from Tiffany, the photographer, whom I HIGHLY recommend, and I also highly recommend hiring a photographer for all parties like this! It was so much more fun and relaxing knowing that it was no one of the guests responsibility to take pictures, and then to make sure they are good at that! So I think it was an excellent idea, if I do say so myself! :)

I cant wait to get all my scrap booking stuff together and start making some amazing pages. The only down side, is that there are just so many good pics to choose from!

30 week belly pic...

Just a quick update...

We had our 30 week ultrasound today. Everything looks great, of what we could see of course. She is getting awfully big and is head down and spine down, so so cutesy pics today. BUT! We did find out how much she weighs. As of 4 weeks ago, she weighed 2 lbs 1 oz. Today she weighed in at a whopping 3 lbs 14 oz! Holy Guacamole!

I only gained 4 lbs last month and 2 of the were her! Whew! No wonder Ive been so pooped lately.

So we're now on a countdown! We have less than 10 weeks left. That's single week digits! Matt and I are so excited. I'm sure you can imagine. LOL

Clean bill of health!

So the trip to Seattle for Matt's clinic visit went great! After 3 weeks of IV meds and home health care, Matt is feeling pretty darn good! He has put some weight back on and his appetite is certainly back with a vengeance. Rivaling my own appetite (now 30 weeks pregnant by the way!).

So back to work he goes! YAY! Poor guy gets so bored hanging out at home, with his life revolving around medication doses. Cant say that I blame him.

All his doctors and nurses are a hoot! They really are the highlight to our visits there. Whats so funny, is the last couple of visits have been more based on me and the baby than they have been about Matt. LOL Matt likes the break and I just like talking about the pregnancy. :)

They want us to come back and see them when we go back up for a week with the Transplant team. At some point in the next month or two, Matt has a laundry list of testing to get done here locally, and then when those are done here, we have to go camp out up there for about 4 days to meet with all the different members of the team. The main transplant dr, the surgeon, the social worker, the dentist, etc... and of course, they all have different clinic days, so no doing it all on 1 days. Poo!

So we will either be back up to see the CF clinic in 2 or 3 months. Which will be either right before or right after baby. Holy Cow! I cant believe how close we're getting! Yikes! Everyone is soooo excited for us and to see her! I think they're probably about as excited as Matt and I! LOL We are so blessed to to have so many caring people in our lives. Sometimes I just have to take a moment and it just boggles the mind.

Of course Seattle weather was a bummer. We did do a little shopping at Gymboree. I told Matt to just swipe the card, and not to look or listen for the total. LOL He half listened to me. So he wasn't shocked, but he did decide that we should skip the other stores after that. He's so adorable. I must be the luckiest woman in the world. If not now, then definitely in the next 10 weeks...

Holy Guacamole!

I just realized, that I have been checking everyone else's blogs, and totally have been neglecting my own!

OOPS!

So quick update! Matt has been on IV antibiotics, doing home health care for the last 3 weeks. He's doing well and feeling better. Not as good as if he had gone in patient of course, but meh, those are the choices we have to make.

We're going back up to Seattle on Monday, for a follow up to make sure we killed most of the nasties. And shop at Babies R Us of course! LOL (Matt may or may not know that we're shopping yet)

We also have another ultrasound coming up this week. Last time She weighed 2 lbs 1 oz. My guess is this time she will be 3 lbs 4 oz. We'll see, but we are both getting pretty big!

I am so excited to get a peek at her again! Her nursery is almost all done, and Matt and I are getting so anxious so meet her! And of course, I have started a count down. 10 weeks! I am totally enjoying being pregnant, but I'm just so excited to see her! How does anyone stand the excitement?!
