36weeks 6days!!!

We are going to have a baby SOON!!! I'll update everyone after my dr appointment tomorrow, for now here's some new pictures!! Thank you, Gretchen (the photographer)!! I am still on bedrest right now (I got off the couch to take pictures though), but my blood pressure is doing much better and the non stress tests have been good! The dr. will let us know his plans tomorrow.

Baby Update!!

Leora giving kisses!!

Today we had another u/s and the baby is still measuring small (about 5lbs 10oz). I have been having non stress tests twice a week (which check the baby's heartrate when I have a contraction) and they have been fine. My blood pressure has been up so I am on bedrest now until she arrives, which is really boring. But we want our baby to be healthy, so I am following the drs orders.

Today the dr told us that he is going to deliver her next week (I will be 37 weeks then, which is considered full term). He has been talking with drs at another hospital that handles higher risk patients and this is what they feel is best for her.

Since she is still breech, I have a c-section scheduled for FRIDAY at 1pm!!! We are going to have a baby!

New Ultrasound!!!

Today we had another ultrasound (I am 33w6d pregnant), she was measuring 32 weeks ?days. Which is a little more off than she was at my 19w and 23w ultrasounds. She weighs about 4lb 7oz, which the dr. said puts her in the 12th precentile for size. He said that she is small, but they usually dont do extra testing unless they are less than 10th precentile. They are going to do another ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure she isn't dropping on the chart.

She is still frank breech, meaning her head is up, her butt is down and her feet are in my side or her face. She kept trying to suck on her big toe during the ultrasound.

I think that we have decided against the external version (where they try to turn her). The risks to me out weigh the benefits. He said they work sometimes, but there is alot of stress to me and her. Then the baby can still turn back. It only lowers the chance of being breech at birth (normally 3%) to 2%. I guess she will turn if she wants to. If not I will probably having a c-section on April 10th.

She was soo beautiful!!!

For being tiny she has CHUBBY CHEEKS!!! Here is her face with her hand in front of her mouth.

Here is her profile of her nose and her mouth...Is it a Kraft nose? I think it kinda looks like one, but it also looks like Bob-o's.

Here is her profile with her foot in her face and her big toe touching her forehead.

Baby shower!!!

Thank you to everyone that could make it to our baby shower!!! It was alot of fun!

6 Weeks until Leora is due!!! We have another ultrasound in the morning (I will let everyone know what the results are).

32weeks 4days pregnant!!!

I am 8 lunar months now!! or 7 months and a week real months pregnant... I had a dr appt last week and Leora is still breech (head up, butt down, and her feet are in my right side). He said we might be looking at a c-section becuase he doesnt think that she will turn. They are going to try turning her with external version at 36 weeks. Hopefully she will turn herself. He also said that she is measuring a little small (I just think that she is a small baby becuase Bob-o and I were both small), so I get another ultrasound next week. Hopefully everything is okay.


Mila, our kitten, got fixed and declawed last week. She is doing very good and is much more tolerable now.

Pico had his teeth cleaned last week and had to have 5 more teeth pulled. Poor puppy, last year he had 6 pulled. I dont know how to prevent him from losing more teeth, the vet said that miniature pinschers have this problem. I wish that I could do something.

I don't know why it won't let me post this picture above... (I feel HUGE!!!)

My dad and I finally got Leora's dresser put together. Haha, he told me that I can't buy anymore furniture that comes in 500 pieces. I am washing all of her clothes that my friends gave me, I am soo ready for her to be here. I have awful heartburn, I can't breathe, I can't sleep and I still have two months to go.

Less than 8 weeks!!!

11 more weeks until the baby is here!!!

The baby's name is going to be Leora May Hoffman!!
I am 29 weeks pregnant now. We are ready for her to be here, only a few weeks until we get to meet her.

We painted her room recently: Pale Plum!! It is so pretty, hopefully she doesn't come out a boy!
We bought a dresser this week that we still need to put together.

Here is my belly at 28weeks!! I think that it has gotten alot bigger in the last few days.

Who do you think that she will look like? Me or Bob-o? Haha. I know that she will be beautiful!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!! In a few weeks we will be posting baby pictures.

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope everyone is happy and healthy!!!

Our littly kitten, Mila, is finally getting used to living with us. She was really mean for a while, but she is being nicer now (sometimes) She likes to torture Pico alot.

Here is my belly this month!! I am 6 months now, 4 months to go till we get to meet our princess. (24 weeks 3 days).
Compared to 3months (12 weeks 4days) pregnant:

We have started getting the baby's room ready.

We are going to paint her room purple, we havent really decided on a theme for decorating yet. Haha, just purple, she will probably hate purple.

Happy Holiday's to everyone and a Happy New Year!!!
