38 week Appointment

Yesterday I had my 38 week appointment  and an ultrasound to measure her size. Leah was kind enough to watch the boys so Justin could join me at the appointment. Well the good news is, she is still a girl, looks very healthy, has a lot of hair on her head, and is weighing in at 7 lbs 10 ounces. So like I was thinking she will be bigger than Nolan, but not as big as Tyler and Carter. The one big surprise however is that after being head down for the past few weeks she has flipped and is breech. I am thinking she actually turned Wednesday night as on Thursday morning my stomach and her movements felt different. 
After the ultrasound we went and saw my doctor. He thinks he will be able to turn her because after three kids I have more room for her to turn (obviously since she turned on her own). However since she hasn't really been engaged in my pelvis I am still not dilated at all (only 1 cm). By this time with all the other three I was at least 2 or 3 cms.  Because of this he thinks my induction may take longer than we thought and he isn't on call the night we were planning to induce. So now the plan is to go in early on Monday the 8th. If she is head down, great we will go ahead and induce. If she isn't head down he will try to turn her and then induce me. If the turning doesn't work we will do a c-section that day.  So no matter what we should be meeting her on the 8/8/11! I will now have one more appointment as well next week. I am hoping she will be head down by then and maybe some progress as well - one can hope anyway :).

Nursery is Done!

Thanks to Justin, we got the nursery done today. We pretty much split the room in two and Nolan and Olivia each have their own sides. I think it turned out pretty well.  I had my 37 week appointment and after the ultrasound next week we will schedule the induction - only 13 days left hopefully! Enjoy the pictures!

TV Debut

Here is the boys tee ball game that made the news. I am not sure how long the link will be up however. You can see Tyler in the outfield close to first base, and Nolan also makes his tv debut.

Olivia's Shower

On Saturday, Melissa and Lindsay through me a shower to celebrate Olivia.  It meant so much to me that our friends want to celebrate her upcoming arrival! It was just what I wanted as well - hanging out with my friends and catching up with each other, having some girl time, and oh the ice cream cake and all the cute outfits and diapers were wonderful too! My mom also sent out some more clothes that she bought her and a few of my dresses that I wore when I was little. I can not wait to see them in her and take her pictures in them. Thanks Melissa and Lindsay - you girls are the best!

Savannah's Party

Last weekend we headed up to Broomfield to go celebrate Savannah's first birthday. She was adorable as always in her tutu! It was a great party - after we had some yummy food and cake and watched her open her gifts we all got in the pool. At their complex they actually have a baby pool as well, which was great. Nolan loved standing and splashing in the pool. Carter mostly stayed in the bigger pool with Justin and Heather. Jumping away and swimming all over. I love watching him enjoy the water so much! We tried a life vest with Tyler, but he was still very cautious. He mostly played in the baby pool as well with some of the other kids. I was happy to see him go up to kid he doesn't know and just start conversations with them. Hopefully one day that confidence will transition to swimming as well.  We had such a great time and can't believe its been a year since Savannah was born - happy birthday beautiful girl!

36 week appointment

On Thursday I had my 36 week appointment. They checked me and did my strep test. No dilation yet, but I am getting very ready for that to start and am 20 % effaced. She is also head down and has started dropping, but not totally down yet. Everything less looks great. I will go back next week and in two weeks we will have an ultrasound to check her size. So far she is measuring right on though so they don't think she will be too big.  I will also be induced at 39 weeks, so less than 3 weeks to go - crazy!

11 Months

On Tuesday, Nolan turned 11 months! Still no steps but he is standing more and more on his own when we let go of his hands. He said dada for the first time on the 4thof July! He is constantly babbling as well. He loves to eat, and also loves to feed Hana his food. He loves all fruit, his yogurt and grilled cheese sandwiches. He also now has 7 teeth. These last ones that have come through he has dealt with a lot easier, which was nice. On most days he now takes two long naps and has dropped his evening one. However on days he takes shorter naps he still needs his third nap. He loves to bang on his piano, play catch with his brothers, give hugs, and go vroom vroom with his cars. He is still very laid back and mostly a very happy baby. However he has learned to show the signs of already throwing tantrums. When I close a door to somewhere he wants to go he will start crying and put his head down into the floor. I can't believe in 1 month he will already be one! This year has gone by so fast and we love that we have Nolan with us!
