35 Days and Counting

When a lady at work asked me how many days I had left to go, I quickly added it up and almost hyperventilated when the words 35 came of my mouth. Don't pay attention to the clicker at the top of the page. It's officially wrong. Here's the update.

We visited a specialist 3 weeks ago because the doc said that Zach was measuring a little big. That ultra sound showed that he was almost a week bigger than his date, but he was within limits of human error - so all is well. The most disturbing news was that he's breach. Honestly, I had a very strong feeling that this might be the case. I could feel his feet right in my pelvis. Either he was breach or he kept his hands above his head all the time!!

So, after visiting with my doc the following week, we agreed to schedule a c-section. After much prayer, I'm finally coming to terms with this decision, but continue to pray about it daily. Zach's birthday will be Thursday, June 7, 2007. He will share a birthday with my friend, Mandy Gregory, and it's official, Steve (Angela's Husband) has won that portion of the baby pool!

We were surprised a few weekends ago with a shower for Zach. I can't believe my family and friends actually pulled it off. I'm still thanking my lucky stars that I had enough energy to get up and get ready that morning. Usually on Saturdays I bum around in house clothes all day!! We got tons of cute outfits and lots of other goodies. And the food was great!!! It was really just nice to spend time with family and friends.

Josh is upstairs now taping the walls in Zach's room. I've decided on three colors that we'll use, and hopefully the room will be painted by the week's end. I'll send photos once it's complete.

I still can't believe that in just 5 short weeks our lives will once again change forever. I can't even imagine what life will be like with a new baby!! I do remembe r having these same thoughts with Olivia, so that calms me quite a bit. Just pray that Olivia adjusts well. We've been having major attachment issues with her recently. For the first time, tonight she actually played with Daddy and didn't pull me around the house and make me hold her all evening!

I thought I'd post a picture of me pregnant...there are very few of these and this isn't a great one. We still have to do our official "pregnancy" shots...and we're running out of time. This was taken Saturday night at my cousin Amber's Sweet Sixteen party. Olivia and I were jamming to the music!

Hope all of you are well!!! Thanks for hanging in there with me on my long hiatus from the blogging world.
