First of all I just looked over at my baby counter and about freaked out about close we are getting here. Then I realized that it is set to my due date and not my scheduled date so I'm actually closer than that...............and then I really started to panic. LOL!
We made it out to Utah safely! Conal is back in Illinois now so keep your fingers crossed that this little one doesn't decide to make an early appearance. As long as everything is ok at my ultrasound on Thursday, we will go ahead as scheduled and have her on July 1st. Let's hope I don't get bumped twice this time.
Alexia has been doing a lot better. YAY! I still feel a little uneasy about the whole situation since we've had a year's worth of set backs, but I'm so grateful that things are going well with her right now.
The day after we arrived in Utah we were able to go to dinner with Conal's sister Lorena, his brother Clark and his wife Cori, and 3 of their 5 kids, Carl, Corbin and Cheryl. We don't get to see them very often since none of us live near each other. I was so glad Conal got to see them. He was so happy!
The kids and I are in 7th heaven because we are in walking distance from my sister's house. It's so awesome! My sister on the other hand is probably ready to lock the doors, close the blinds and threaten her kids not to make any noise so she can pretend like she isn't home. Can't say I blame her. 9 kids under 9 years old in one house can be kind of crazy!
For the next little while we will be enjoying being around family and friends, preparing for the baby and praying for a safe birth for baby and mommy.
