From the mouth of Babes

Finally!
After weeks, and months without a good rainfall...we are under a severe thunderstorm warning! I've never been so excited for a storm.

We knew it hadn't really RAINED in a while; but didn't realize how long til Lily spoke up from the backseat today. Jed and I were talking about the fierce looking rain clouds moving in...and Lily pipes up with "God is giving us rain...so we can watch the fireworks tonight!" Jed and I were both puzzled. Then we put two and two together....The last major rain storm we had was 4th of July evening. It poured, lightning and thundered...so much that the firework show was postponed for a few hours. But we waited it out, and were pleased with the fabulous firework show.

I guess from the mouth of babes!

36 weeks 4 days

Lily and Mommy...36 weeks


We are moving right along....slowly and with a slight waddle. :)

I am currently 36 weeks 4 days...Leia is STILL BREECH!! This child needs to turn already. If she was in position, I'm sure she'd be close to making her debut. The amount of contractions that I have had this week is vast! But we need her head down to make a difference. She was vertical (upside down the wrong way)..now she is diagonal...I'm waiting for her to pull out some fancy Jedi moves.

The Dr wants to give her 1 more week to get into position. If she's not at the next appointment, then we are going to schedule an External Cephalic Version --> In this procedure hands are placed on the mother's abdomen around the baby. The baby is moved up and away from the pelvis and gently turned in several steps from breech, to a sideways position, and finally to a head first presentation. I've heard it's painful, but most times, it works. Either way, it's worth a shot. I'd rather not have a c- section.

This past weekend was our baby shower. Leia received of variety of cute clothes, tutus, and blankets...and LOTS of diapers! :)

Lilyann...the big sister!

Personalized diaper bag

Super cute dress!! LOVE IT!

35 wks!

 Here's my Lilyann....she is really enjoying having mommy all to herself while Dakota is at school. Hope she doesn't get jealous when Baby Leia arrives (roughly 3 more weeks!!) Sitting on the porch having her yogurt after we dropped Kota off at school!

Here is Lily's latest art....she loves markers...and I let her have her fun with them til I realized that not all princess markers are created equal.....they aren't washable like the Crayola Markers...and I have proof on my coffee table :(

 

Mommy and Lily.....Here I am at 35 wks! I'm so ready for baby to be here...but I'm willing to wait a bit longer since baby STILL HAS NOT turned head down. She needs to get with the program already!!! So....offer your suggestions on how to get baby to turn...I'm all ears!
