Seven Weeks.... or LESS!

Yesterday at my OB appt we went ahead and "tentatively" pencilled in a C-Section date of June 18. I have an appt with the perinatologist on Monday so that C-Section date might move up. But that means, AT MOST, we have seven weeks left before we get to meet Miss Madigan face to face. And Mommy can't wait!

What's in the water???

It seems that EVERYONE down here is expecting an arrival soon. I wanted to get this picture of me and my friend Amy before her little one comes. This is us at church this past Sunday. I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow! =)

Hey Baby!!!

I went in today for an ultrasound and everything looks GREAT!!!!! I can't even begin to explain the peace that I feel just seeing Maddie moving around and hearing the doctor say that the cord, fluid and placenta all look just fine. And best of all... Maddie is still a girl!! =)

Here are some pictures of our little cutie. She has one arm up over her face, so you can only see one chubby little cheek and one eye... but she's still perfect!! I'm posting the pictures sideways so you can see her face straight on.

Baby Bumps!

One of the biggest joys this pregnancy has been having SO MANY friends that are pregnant with me! This is a picture of me and my friend Tara from St Louis. She's due exactly 1 month after I am. So why am I twice as big????

Doctor #4

Yesterday I went to my OB appt. I didn't like my first OB, so I found a new one. I saw him last month. This month he was on vacation, so I saw his associate and I really liked her. But once she opened up my file and saw all of the lab reports from my first OB she decided that I was too high risk for them to see me in their office without the consultation of a perinatologist. So, now I'm waiting on an appointment with Doctor #4. The perinatologist's office is in Springfield, so I'm really hoping that he releases me back into the care of my new OB. Springfield is quite a drive from here. And towards the end of the pregnancy I will have to be monitored very closely and will have to go in for NSTs (non-stress tests) where the baby and I are hooked up to monitors for an hour or so each week. So, I'm really hoping that the perinatologist will allow me to do this in Lebanon. If not, then we'll just get a lot of miles in. The pastors have already offered to drive me to Springfield anytime I need to go... they like all the restaurants there! :>) The good news is that the perinatologist will be doing a very in-depth 45min ultrasound when I get in to see him. I can't wait to just sit and stare at every inch of our little girl and to see just how perfect she is.

Preggo x2!

No, I'm not having twins. There's just two of us preggo girls working in the office at church! This is a picture of me and Jen, my new friend and fellow secretary. I'm almost 27 weeks and she's almost 26 weeks. And the race is on!!!

(And after seeing this picture, I have vowed to NEVER wear that shirt again. I look HUGE!!!!!)
