One Year Appt!

Today was Lyla’s one year appointment with Dr. Garlove. Aside from the long wait, things went well. Lyla loved hanging out with the 18 month old boy in the waiting room and, of course, was not happy about her shots.

Here she is before we left, posing with her new “real” shoes with “real” soles. I can’t believe how much she’s looking like a little girl:

Today's Visit

Today's visit went well with Dr. Stamler. There's no major progress toward labor - in other words, no dilation. However, he was reassuring that this is all normal and that at 39 weeks, things are exactly where they should be.

If we are still pregnant next week, we'll go in for an ultrasound on Wednesday just to check things out. We'll be looking at induction if nothing changes in the next 10 days.

We are doing well here - just patiently waiting. Well, patiently probably isn't a very accurate descriptor here.

Ultrasound and next doctor's appointment is next Wednesday.

It's funny how things work out - we always assumed Lancina would be early, but it looks fairly certain that our little girl will most definitely be a Sagittarius. Traditional traits include: optimistic, fun-loving, jovial, straight forward, intellectual and philosophical.

Two more days, and Sagittarius it is. And, it looks like she's pretty intent on that herself. She's certainly in no hurry.

Not Yet...

Our doctor's visit proved to be uneventful this week. No dilation yet. Lancina is head down, though, which is a good sign.

The doctor is predicting a 8.5 pound baby. Wow!

Next visit scheduled with Dr. Shutte on Friday, Nov. 13.

We're excited about a visit from Aunt Angela later today and through the weekend. We have lots of baby things to do!

Here's another 35 week ultrasound pic of Lancina's hair. If you look closely, I think there might be a curl or two there..

Awaiting Lancina: First Weekly Appt. Today!

Two more days until we're officially FULL TERM! It's hard to believe that we are finally almost here! Little Lancina will be here very soon, and we are so excited to welcome her to the world!

We are doing well - I am more tired now than I've been through the entire pregnancy, but I've managed to gather the energy to buy enough toilet paper and paper towels to last for the next few months. Ha!

My belly is growing and growing - I keep wondering if Lancina is going to run out of room in there. Here's our 35 week belly shot:


Lance is also very excited - he's "nesting" in his own way, paying close attention to my belly and Lancina's movements and hiccups. He wants to go look for a new Christmas tree today so that we'll have it for her first Christmas - (our current tree is too massive for our house!).

Today is our first weekly visit with the doctor - a real milestone. We are so excited to see if there's any progress toward the big day.

We have truly enjoyed every moment of our pregnancy, but we are really ready to meet our little girl.
