34 week pictures!

Here is our little one! She was 5lbs even at this dr. apt! I guess they gain about a pound a week for the last few weeks so she is probably about 6lbs by now! I am just 36 weeks today, so maybe 7lbs??? I don't really know but I do know I can't wait to meet her! Lance is also very excited, every time I call him he jumps! :)

But, still no signs of labor here...

Hope all is well and your prayers are still appreciated.

Thank you

My wonderful husband!

O.k. So here are the pictures of the super cute teddy that he painted this weekend! I love it!

This weekend

Hello all!

Well last Friday we went to see the specialist, Dr. Miller, who by the way is an excellent Dr. and I would recommend him to anyone! He was very understanding of our fears and took the time to talk to us, and even put it in "normal people," terms!

The ultrasound is very cool! We even got to see some of her hair! She sure is getting big for that small space! But the good news is with gestational diabetes, babies tend to be bigger, not ours she is still a peanut, 5lbs even! This is about the 30% for this gestational age. Not too small, not too big! Also, she is in head down position, which is a good thing! I do not know if I am dialated or anything like that. The Dr. said that it really doesn't matter because if she came now it would be past the point of fear! Yeah! We made it! Once, I get over to the parent in laws I will get those pics posted.

This past weekend we took the birthing class. This class was completly Lance's idea to take, so we took it. Unfortunatly, he could not make it Friday night, so my mom went with me to that, then Sat Lance went with me! This class was beneficial, but in my opinion very hard to stay awake through. But, the good news is Lance feels more prepaired for the birth (at least one of us does :))

Then, today Lance did his first "gig," painting in a nursery for someone other than family! It was great and I am very proud of his work! I must admit I was a little bit surprised at how good he is :) I know something only a wife can say! The family that he did this for is friends/co-workers of his dad (Dale) and they are one of the most friendly families that I have meet so far in my life! I went with him to keep him company while he did the painting and ended up talking with the woman of the house almost the entire time! ( I don't think Lance minded :)) Anyway, he painted a little teddy bear on the wall with a frame around it so it looks like a hung piece of art and it really looks great! The teddy bear matches the bedding that they plan to use for their little one!

Once again, I hope all is well with everyone and we will keep you all informed! I can't wait for 5 more weeks to post pictures of our little one!

Does it look like I have dropped?

8mo pictures!

O.K so Lance took this picture tonight and I saw it and said WOW! I am huge! I do realize that I see myself everyday and should have already noticed this, but my golly! This picture really works wonders for the baby!

I did go to the Dr. this Tuesday and everything seems to be going well still! Yeah! It has been ten weeks since our scare! Heartbeat is great! Movement is great! And no contractions that are note worthy yet!

We were signed up for a birthing class this past weekend, but did not get to go because I was exposed to fifths disease and I guess that could be pretty dangerous for pregnant woman to be around, so we had to wait for the results of my blood work to come back before I could go to the class full of pregnant woman. This was very sad for me since I was looking forward to going and learning things, but I was even more excited to just have the weekend with Lance, since we both took off of work for the entire weekend! A huge thing to do in this household! But, to my surprise Lance and I still did not work all weekend and devoted the weekend to each other! We were going to go somewhere fun, but this is hard to do when your Dr. orders you to not go more than an hour away...So grandma and grandpa L took Rocko and Noodles for the weekend and Lance and I just kind of were roamers! But, we had a great time doing it and it was great to reconnect! Especially since we hardly see each other as it is!

I am very excited for the next 7 weeks to pass to meet our little one, but Lance...It is so amazing to see how excited he is! He is worse than a little kid at Christmas, he tells me all the time, "I can't wait to be a Daddy!" I just love seeing how excited and devoted he is! He has also been asking for "Daddy time," with the baby while I work, I think that he would love for me to get a full time job out of the child care field so that he can stay home with the little one!

Well, I think that is all for now! I go back to the Dr. on Friday, but I'm sure there will be no news there. But, next Friday, we see a specialist and I guess we get a "special" ultrasound, I do not know exactly what this means, but we are excited to see our little one again! I keep on saying little one, but look at me she looks pretty big! :)

Baby girl's room!

Here is her room all ready for her....All we need is a baby!

update!

So here is the update!

I was put on the monitors today and the baby is doing very well! I go back on Friday to check again.

But, I did get the ok to lift babies so I can now do some more work! Which is great to get in before the baby is born!

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!

Although Lance may appriciate some of those prayers because I think that I am nesting and Lance is getting the brunt of all the things that I need done before the baby is here :) But he is handling it like a champ!

Lance, Sarah, and Baby girl!
