4 more days......

We have possibly 4 more days until we meet our sweet rainbow Charlotte! I can't even begin to believe it!! We go in Friday morning at 8am (EST) for the amnio to check her lung maturity. We should know by 10am whether or not they are ready, and then if her little lungs are ready, we should be in the OR no later then noon time!
Wow!!! We are pretty much ready for her. I just have to finish up a few things in the nursery and then just make sure the house is straightened up this week. It's been cleaned up and looking good, I just want to make sure it's super clean by the time we leave for the hospital. Well.....maybe not super clean because I am not the best housekeeper, but clean and presentable!

35 weeks

I took some pictures today at 35 weeks 2 days! I was comparing them to my pictures of me pregnant with Moira at the same time, 35.2 weeks, and I look much healthier this time around.

I dyed these t-shirts and hat for Charlotte! She is going to be styling!! I love the way they turned out!

I went through my cloth stash and got things ready for Miss Charlotte. The first picture is of my prefolds and small and xsmall covers

Here are the small all in ones and pockets.

These are the xsmall all in ones and pockets

One size diapers

X-Large wetbags for traveling, daycare, and to use downstairs.

I am feeling very ready for Charlotte! She can come anytime she wants to now! If she does decide to come on her own, then that would be fine. I would still go for the c-section, but then maybe I won't need to have the amnio.

Happy 1st Birthday to my sweet angel

Happy Birthday to my sweet Moira Mae. Daddy and Mommy love you and miss you everyday and I hope you will continue to keep watch over your baby sister.

Thank you SO MUCH to Jill over at Vermont Angels for taking these pictures for me!!

Hello there blogging world

I have been really neglecting my blog lately. I have had a lot going on and I'm trying to cut out some internet time. I only have 6 weeks left until Charlotte is here, so internet is going to take a back seat!! :) I am going to want to spend as much time as I can with that little girl.
I am almost 31 weeks and feeling really good. I have two more weeks left of work. I have been going in twice a week to the OB's office for the last two weeks. Next week I start my weekly NST's and I have already been having weekly ultrasounds. Monday we have a growth ultrasound and a meeting with the high risk OB. We are going to sort of finalize our plans for delivery! I can't wait to meet with her!
We are on vacation this week and it's been relaxing. We haven't done a lot, but we are planning to do some major cleaning today! We have to clean and organize our guest room and basement a little too. It will be nice to have that organized!

I will end this post with pictures of me from yesterday at 30 weeks 5 days! I feel HUGE!!!

Picture Post

Here are some 3D pictures of Charlotte taken at my ultrasound on Friday at 29 weeks. The tech was having a hard time getting good shots, but these were the best. Charlotte has been an acrobat and her feet were by her face with her bum up on the upper right side of my belly. :) So, her feet were in front of her face and it was hard to get clear shots.





Here I am at 28 weeks 2 days with Dave on Easter Sunday. It was gorgeous and so warm out last weekend and now it feels a little more like Spring. :)

I completely forgot about posting this pictures! Thank you to Lisa over at Waterfall Angels for the pictures! They are beautiful!

25 week growth ultrasound

I had my growth ultrasound yesterday at 25 weeks! Charlotte is about 1lb 13 oz right now and she is growing just fine! Everything looks good, she was practice breathing already. We saw her open and shut her hand, take a little drink and swallow, and of course move around some. It was probably one of the best ultrasounds I've had!! My friend Karen came with me and she loved it so much! She has never really seen a good ultrasound. She had them with her kids, but they are nothing like they were. The tech. tried a 3D image, but it's still kind of early and Baby C had her hand in front of her face at that point. She did look pretty cute though!! I can't quite tell who she looks like yet. When we had one at 36 weeks with Moira, we could tell right away she looked like Dave.
My OB said that in April we can schedule the C-section for June 4th, just in case I can deliver that day. She said she already has it blocked off for that day so that nothing else gets scheduled! How awesome is she?? If we can't deliver that day, then we'll just have to wait and see what my numbers are for the amnio, etc. We won't deliver any later than June 11th though!! I did tell her that if we have to go past the 4th, that I know myself and I know that I am going to start to get anxious and panic some. She totally understands, so we are hoping for the best! I will see the high risk OB at 32 weeks, around April 30th and we'll get some more confirmation from her.
Alright, that's it from here for now. I'll do a better update soon. I just wanted to post these pictures!!
