Still On Track

Everything is still on track to meeting our little girl.

I had an appointment yesterday where they gave me my final growth ultrasound.  I had a more experienced tech this time around which was nice.  Last time the tech was new to the clinic - this time I got the women who estimated Cole to be off the charts (and boy was she right that time)! The results are that our little gal is definitely not on track to be a 10 lb baby and is siting more in the 40th percentile (and currently weighing about 6 lbs).  I know these ultrasounds can be wrong but they were dead on with Cole so I feel I take them a little more seriously this time around.  

Everything else on the ultrasound checked out great so it looks like the attempt at a VBAC is on.  So now we just wait!  I put in a request yesterday for a c-section right around the time of my due date so next week I will hear back on what my options for dates are.  My prayer continues to be that if it is safe for her to come VBAC, she will arrive before the c -section date and if not, that's how I will know it is best to just do a repeat section.  

The boys are getting really excited to meet her.  Now that I am on weekly appointments every appointment I have Sam is convinced that we will be bringing her home with us after.  Ha - too bad it wasn't that easy!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Packing for 2010

We have started collecting our Olympic gear in preparation for our trip up to Vancouver this weekend! The last Olympics we attended were the Calgary '88 games (Drew even preformed in the opening ceremonies) and we can't wait to be back on Canadian soil celebrating the big event again. Even though Sam is too young to really appreciate the Olympics, we are excited to show him the sights and get lots of pictures so he can look back and hear some good stories. At this point, our gear is ready and the funny thing is Sam has the most Olympic stuff out of any of us! Our family has worked hard to make sure that Sam gets a little piece of Canada even though he is not living there. We know that if Sam grows up in the USA, no one will need to teach him to enjoy his country, but since Canada is so much a part of us, we want to make sure he learns about that bit of him too! So in a few days we will head North and cheer for the home team. However, maybe we do need to get a little piec...
