Baby News!

More baby news... 'cause that's about all we have to talk about these days.
So, we had another ultrasound this week. The doctor said I'm measuring small, (33cm, should be 36cm). So we went in to get things checked out, make sure baby is still growing and that I'm not low on fluid. And the good news is... all is well! Baby is growing well and they estimate she weighs about 6lbs 7oz, so she is doing great! And I have plenty of fluid so everything is just perfect. In fact, all of baby's measurements combined = my due date a day earlier! Woohoo! Not that that really changes anything, she'll come when she's ready. But now we're just hoping she comes a little bit earlier, rather than later.
I also had a doctor's appointment the same day and we were also happy to find that things are progressing wonderfully. I am dilated and almost 100% effaced so wahoo! But now we just hope things continue to progress and I don't stay like this forever...
We are mostly ready for our little one to come now. All her things are packed for the hospital, need we make a mad dash, and her crib is set up, sheets on. We still need to figure out where we are going to put all her clothes but I think I may have an idea for that. So now we play the waiting game. We are really getting excited, really, to meet our little girl. She has already been such a great blessing to us and we feel so lucky. We can't wait to say hello!

Happy January!

Happy New Year! We are so excited about 2010, it's going to be an adventurous year for us with the arrival of baby girl. Just 6 more weeks until she's due but I'm sure she'll come whenever she's ready.
We spent Christmas in Utah this year and have had a lot of fun up here in the cold weather so far. Christmas day we went up to Salt Lake to see the lights at temple square. It was so beautiful, I was glad we could make it up there.
It's been good to be around so much family and spend time with them. It's been especially nice to have such a long break from school; even though Tyler has been studying long hours for the CPA exam, but we've managed to squeeze in some playing and relaxing.
It's also been fun to see friends and visit with them. It was great to see some of you at my baby shower, thanks to all who came! It's fun to finally have some baby stuff to take home and start getting everything ready for our little one.
Well that's about all that's new with us. We wish you all the best this year!
