Celebrating 6 Months!!!

What a busy, busy time! Lots to catch up on for so much has been happening. To start today is our 6 month wedding anniversary!! We are celebrating this special occasion in our very own home! To fill in the gaps. On Wednesday we ventured over to the title company and with pen in hand slayed a good sized forest worth of paper in order to close on our very first HOME! By the following evening the monies had been transferred and it was officially ours! Thursday not only brought us the knowledge that the deal had gone through without a hitch and after months of waiting and watching the house go up it was ours no questions asked but we also got news regarding Miss Bumpkin. Officially feeling GROWN UP. :) Thursday morning hopeful for some good news from the doctor we marched over for an ultrasound to check on Miss Bumpkins size. First thing we see were her round pinchable cheeks- wonder where they came from! Her hands nestled near her head and low and behold she was sucking her thumb! Super cute. After measuring her head the tech moves to her belly for a quick measurement and then to her femur. Evan requested to check to make sure there was still need for all the pink that has been purchased. :) And yes we are still expecting a girl! Turns out this little girl is bigger than the doctors are liking, with one little round belly. From the measurements, keeping in mind there is machine error +/- close to a pound, she is looking to be about 8 lb 12 oz!!! Yikes. After the ultrasound it was time to meet up with the doctor to see about the past weeks progress. Sadly there is done to be spoken of. Still 1 cm dilated and the little stinker is not engaging in the pelvis. The moment the words pass the doctors lips I was immediately struck with the image of her sucking her thumb being oh so comfortable right where she is! We are meeting with the doctor Monday morning to see if anythings changed and then get our strategy. Looks like a cesarean is in our future next week. We will know more tomorrow and get answers to questions we have regarding the surgery while exploring all of our options. Then we will be able to make the best decision for baby & mommy. Pictures to come of the house, ultrasound and events of the past week. A huge THANK YOU to Steve & DelRae for giving up their Friday & Saturday to help us move. THANK YOU to Jack & Andy for proving added man power on Saturday for the hauling of the large items. And THANK YOU to my mom for making the long haul from Bellingham early Saturday to help over the coming days!!
