It's been a while since a "real" post

It's amazing how one small occurrence (the start of school) can throw off my blogging. I have so many things that I'd like to blog, but just haven't had the time for. Like a recipe for veggie sloppy joes, pictures of our summer, and funny stories from my kiddos. I guess I'll settle for giving a short update on Isabel and her growth.

First, I think we decided to spell her name the Spanish way-Isabel. Who knows!!!? Our little girl is now 30 weeks, weighs 3 pounds and is 15.7" long. It's amazing to me to think that she fits inside of my belly!! Which, by the way, has expanded greatly over the last two weeks. Friday, ladies at work were remarking that I seem bigger. On that note, I have been measuring small, which doesn't concern the doctor BUT did manage to get us a second ultrasound. We are excited to see our baby girl again before she arrives.






















(This was taken early in the morning, hence the "not-quite-awake" look and puffiness!!)

I have two appointments scheduled for Wednesday-a neurology appointment, finally, and the ultrasound appointment. I am praying that the neuro appointment confirms my current line of thinking: vision migraines. Please pray that my symptoms are just that and nothing more.

We had our hospital tour on Thursday, and while York Hospital is nothing fantastic, the staff are wonderful from what we hear. As we were walking onto the Labor and Delivery unit, a newborn was being wheeled to the nursery. She was so new that she hadn't even been weighed or measured yet! I started tearing up.

The nearness of motherhood is becoming reality. Daily, I grow in size, but mainly in anticipation of our baby's birth and the new role of "mommy."

You look wonderful...but it's hard to believe she's coming so soon!

I will be praying for you. Visual migraines are a scary thing in and of themselves, but confirmation that nothing else is going on helps out significantly. Neurology's a good place to be for that.

Glad you finally got a neuro appointment! Will be praying, of course!

I am so happy for you. And don't fret about the baby's size. My goodness, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize the genetic pool of your family doesn't lend itself to bigness. The OB community doesn't seem to "get it" very often in terms of common sense sometimes, so stick to your maternal instincts and your God-given wisdom, my friend. The babies start growing a half pound a WEEK toward the end anyway!

You look adorable! Oh, I just looked at your registry & saw you registered for newborn onesies. I would recommend not getting too much in "newborn", rather get 0-3 months since they grow so fast. But if your peanut is measuring small, then you might need them! They are also cut on the smaller side. Just my side note ;) I hope you are hanging in there! Not too much longer! xoxo Laura
