7 weeks left (we hope)

So, according to my midwife I am 33 weeks pregnant. Only 7 weeks left. It's gone fast but I am very ready right NOW to meet our baby. I know a little better what to expect since this is our second baby so I don't feel as nervous. I am just ready. 7 weeks isn't long but it feel like it will be. I feel so HUGE! Dave called me a Baby Apartment yesterday. :-) I just don't see how I will have room for almost two more months of this baby growing. I will end up being GYNORMOUS! (is that a word? if it is, I don't think I spelled it correctly) My belly measures about a half a week ahead. Who knows what that means. I hope the baby comes early, but not too early.

A couple prayer needs. . . the baby is trasverse breach which means it's butt is towards my back and it's head is on one side and the limbs on the other side. It's not head down which would mean c-section. There's time to get the baby to turn head down but it *should* already be by this point. So, pray the baby will flip!

Also, there was a little irregularity to the heart beat at my last appointment. My midwife wasn't worried as she says all her patients who've ever had this it just went away and wasn't a problem. However, if it's still there in two weeks she wants me to see a pediactric cardiologist. AHH!! So, pray pray pray that the heart beat is normal at my next appointment.

I have had two gender specific dreams about the baby. Both times we had a girl. Who knows!!

Kami, I will be praying the baby turns and for the heartbeat. Keep us posted. I can't believe you only have 7 weeks left!

Oh, and FYI, ginormous just became an "official" word in 2007.

It's a . . .

BOY!! Liam is a big brother to a beautiful baby boy! Gabriel Asher was born at 8:55 PM on March 16th. He weighed 9lbs. 2.9oz and was 21 inches long. We were at church for a meeting with all the youth workers and after the meeting I (Kami) was having more intense contractions and just not feeling right. A mother of a couple of our high school girls offered to take me home with them and let me rest at their house while Dave stayed at church to run our Sunday night youth group. It wasn't long after arriving at their house that my water broke. I called for Dave to come pick me up and we headed to the hospital. It was slightly under 3 hours later that our little boy came into the world. It was quick and everything went smoothly. Gabriel got a 9 out of 10 on both his apgar tests which made us proud. He's nursing like a pro and so beautiful! ...

A mother of 3 boys

I have to be honest in hopes that it will encourage you to pray for me. I now have a 5yo, 4yo and 2yo. I am over whelmed and had my first major break down today. I say "major" because I have actually had many breakdowns but this was the first with tears I just couldn't control. This is WAY harder then I thought it would be. Or maybe it's just that the "difficult things" I tried to prepare myself for aren't very tough at all. There are many things that I just wasn't prepared for and it's knocking me off my feet. The boys are acting like brothers. Yes, this sounds like a good thing. The issue? That means they fight. . . there's screaming, scratching, pushing and biting involved. It's not all the time but I have to watch them so things don't get out of hand. I have been so tired. I don't think it has anything to do with the jet lag anymore but more of just a physical issue I have struggled with since Gabriel was born 2 years ago. I a...

Stinky, Uncontrollable Moments

The boys and I were going to join Dave at Quest (middle school camp) in Olympia this weekend. Dave is the Quest director and although he'd be working and busy we were excited to be able to go and have a weekend away. So, why am I now sitting on my couch watching Ice Age with my family on Friday night instead of hanging out with middle schoolers at camp? Let me share the insane story with you. . .           We hit the road in our van and while driving over White Pass we had car trouble. . . bad enough that we couldn't drive the van any farther.           In the rain, Dave worked and worked to try and fix the belt that partially tore and then came off it's track. We didn't have cell service so we had no idea what to do.           Finally, a Good Samaritan stopped and offered us a ride to Naches (the closest town back towards Yakima). ...
