Looking Back...

So after having my cell phone for nearly 2 years, I only just now realized how to transfer pictures from my phone to online...duh! Anyways, I came across the picture above from when Eve was hospitalized at 6 weeks old with a viral infection. It is the only picture we have from then, and it although it reminds me of a painful experience, it also makes me so grateful to have my beautiful and healthy baby girl.

We Have a Birthday!

I had my 31 week appointment this morning, and we finally got to set up my c-section date...yea! Our baby boy is scheduled to enter this world on November 24th at 7:30 am! That is, unless I go into labor before then! Everything is still checking out great...good heartbeat, lots of movement, etc. I just can't believe we only have 7 1/2 weeks to go!

Update: I meant to add to this earlier, but I forgot to mention that at my last ultrasound, it was determined that my placenta previa has resolved itself. So no worries there! I am running around like normal, and my doctors have no concerns.

29 Week Doctor Appointment

10 weeks left! Yea! So I had my OB appointment this morning, and everything is looking great! We are finally getting down to the homestretch, and I will have my appointments every 2 weeks now until I hit November, when they will become weekly. I got to have another ultrasound today, and it was so awesome seeing the baby's cute little face again. He is measuring ahead of schedule, and they estimated him to be at around 3 lb. 7 oz. right now...chunky baby! He has been soooo active lately, and seems to be kicking around in there non-stop. And of course, his favorite time to do this is just as I'm settling into bed at night! I guess he's just preparing me for the sleepless nights that are about to come. The picture above is from my ultrasound today, but is not the clearest since the baby was constantly in motion the whole time.

Reminiscing

So, Eve is learning so much and growing up so fast that it is simply amazing to me as a first-time parent. I got to thinking about how quickly the last 18 months have flown by, and how quickly the next 18 months will fly by, especially with a new baby in the house. It is so bittersweet watching your children grow up. On one hand, I am in awe of Eve's progress and love to imagine what the future will be like. What will she be like when she is 2 years old, 5 years old, and so on. But on the other hand, each day passes by so fast and time is so fleeting. I have to keep reminding myself to live in the moment, and to appreciate all the precious time I get to spend with my family. So anyways, in the spirit of my sentimental thinking, here are a few pictures of Eve from almost exactly one year ago. *Sigh*
