32 week update...

I have to say I really like my new OB clinic... I love the fact that there are only two Dr.'s. These Dr.'s respect me as a woman who is pregnant carrying her third baby to term and they seem to really listen to me. I hope that continues for the next 6-8 weeks. As far as updates.. I am 32 weeks along... measuring at 32 cm, Claire's heart rate was 147. Sorry, but my weight gained slowed back down to a whopping 10 ounces... putting me at 7.12 pounds. I think I am actually tracking smaller than I did with Reese. I do eat I promise, Craig could vouch for that I am sure. I will go back again in 2 weeks. Here are some pictures of the growing baby belly...








We have ORDERS!!!

OK, so we have orders to move, but we won't move til October sometime once Craig is back to full MARINE status after he has his surgery either in June... oh, where are the orders for you ask??? He go 2nd Tank Battalion, Camp LeJeune, NC.
There are so many good things and a few bumps in the road for this duty station. I am glad that we won't really have to begin to deal with them til late summer. We are just trying to get thru the last two months of all of our activities and functions, then Claire's arrival, then Craig's surgery.. Then hopefully a RECUPERATING, preparing summer for a busy crazy FALL.
Keep us in your prayers.

Palm Sunday Activities

Today we spent Palm Sunday at Craig's second cousin, Bonita's house about an hour and a half away in Thomsbrooke, VA. We had so much fun hanging out with 11 of their 13 children, eating, talking and hunting eggs. Their family is always warm and welcoming and our girls just fit in with all the other kids running around. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Baby Registries...

OK... so I finally went and registered for a few things at both Target and Babies R Us... for those of you whom asked. I am also planning on using CLOTH Diapers so if you would be interested in purchasing some of those I am planning on using the Fuzzi Bunz brand the last two links are some websites to check out for those. We love and miss you all and are really getting excited about meeting little Miss Claire and finally deciding if its Lorelai Claire or Lauren Claire????

Due Dates are so FRUSTRATING...

Ok, So I had my 30 week appointment today and I am so frustrated. I know I have changed practices so I knew some of the information carried over might be miss interpreted. This is getting a bit crazy now though... Explanation... by my LMP I was due June 5th... then at my 8 week appointment/ultrasound Claire was measuring much bigger so they changed it to May 30th, then even at the 20 week appointment she was measuring bigger and so they said May 25th, but they still left the official due date to May 30th... well I just changed practices and I went into their perinatologist and had another ultrasound and Claire was measuring at being due at June 3rd... so now my Dr. wants to go back to the very very first due date as June 5th.... Are you kidding me?? I know they are just dates and that most people don't actually have their baby on their due dates. Any pregnant woman would not want their due date pushed back, especially this late in the pregnancy... its just frustrating. Oh and those who hate me because my lack of weight gain.. well I gained three pounds in the last two in a half weeks... are you happy now?? Making my total weight now at 7.2 pounds.
