31 weeks plus! YIKES, pretty sure things are getting real and so close!

Levi We now get to see Levi every Monday. Dr. Sunny was there today and once again had good news for us. Once again the way he was positioned, they could not get a good picture of it. However she said if it was my first time going, they probably wouldn't have even seen it. When we first saw it, it was so blatant when they were looking for it as far as just a brighter white on the ultrasound picture. Now when they are looking for it, it does not stick out at all. The measurement that they got was good because it was under 2 cm for width and length. We talked to Dr. Sunny and we are all in agreement that it would be best if I delivered in Chattanooga, so it looks like Chattanooga it is!
His estimated measurement was 4 lbs and 10 oz which is up 1 lb and 2 oz in 13 days! YIKES! He is measuring two weeks ahead which is VERY concerning to me in so many ways! :)
My fluid was still a little low but still nothing of a major concern. I think that is all the update with him. For now it will be every week at Regional Obst. and every other week with Dr. Cole. Soon it will be 2 a week.

Lesley Dr. Cole said they will probably schedule Levi's delivery on or before April 6. OMG that is so close! We are more than ready except he has some more baking to do. Guess I better be packing my bag soon!

Lilly

• Last Wednesday, daycare called at like 4:00 as I was leaving and said she had a red face almost like Fifths Disease. I was like GREAT! So after taking all the symptoms into consideration (pulling at left ear, low grade fever, 'rash', not eating or sleeping good) we decided to take her to Satellite Med. Good thing we did, she had STREP…REALLY I do believe she is trying to catch everything going around! We agreed on the antibiotic shot and it was the best decision. She did not have it bad at all! 
• STILL on the poddy kick. I actually gave it a tiny try Sunday night, mainly to see how she would react to wet underwear. In 10 minutes she had peed/put her on the poddy and cleaned up/ went to get another pair/peed in the floor/cleaned up/underwear on/peed within 15 min. WOW this is gonna be so fun huh?! I think it will take her sitting on the poddy forever until she goes! At least we have the interest and all of the steps. Might give it a go spring break. 
• Totally didn't realize she could recognize numbers 1,2,5,6,8,9,10. I am just one proud mama! Makes me thankful for a great daycare and all they have taught her and will continue to teach her. It is hard writing that check each month but things like that make me realize that you get what you pay for when it comes to that! I posted video of it on Facebook. 

Joel:  He went snowboarding last week and he loves it! (me not so much!) He has some amazing pictures from the top of the mountain too.

Hope all is well with everyone else. Prayers are still working so keep 'em coming! Have a great week!

Newest Family Update

UPDATE

30 weeks and 1 day

Lilly: Well she has a new found LOVE to go 'poddy'..........except she hasn't put the go poddy and actually go pee thing together! She is obsessed! Any ideas on how to get both of those together? I am just glad she is on the right track. She will now pull her pants down, sit on the poddy, wipe, flush and her favorite thing is the end, washing her hands. SOOOO we just need her to pee and we will have it. We may start trying in a few weekends. WE WOULD LOVE to not have two in diapers!

She may be mama's girl but she is not too girly!

Levi: SNOW DAY AND DR APPT...YAY! We went to the doctor today...NOT BAD news! We were really me hoping that we would get as good of news as last time and maybe the mass had shrank a little more. However the measurements were about the same. So we are just pleased that it has not grown! 9 weeks and 6 days for that 1.3cm x 2.3cm stinking thing to GO AWAY!

Lesley: Okay, Levi HAS to wait to come out but man am I done already. I try my best not to complain because no one likes a complaining pregnant woman.....

• I'm tired of not sleeping good.(don't tell me it is preparing me for no sleep when he comes because nothing prepares you for that!) 
• I feel huge already. (I am ready to run again. Though I know when I can run again I will be griping about getting up to go run!)
• I'm tired of some comments. (OMG I could write a book about what not to say to a pregnant woman! I am sure anyone who has been pregnant would agree with me.)
• OMG, it is WAY harder the second time around! (The first time...come home from standing up teaching 20 kindergartners, prop my feet up and take a nap. The second time....stand up teaching kindergarten all day, go home and give all the rest of your energy to a 2 year old, housework, school work.....Then sleep if I can.)
• TOTALLY done with doctor appointments! So today my fluid was lower so now I get to go to the high risk doctor EVERY WEEK! YUK to the copays every week but yay to an ultraond every week! Starting next Monday it will be 2 appointments one week and 1 appointment the next for 9 weeks. 
• I also find myself not being sympathetic to others complaints....Yeah I'm working on this and realize it. :) 

THERE I only complained if you chose to read.
I say all that in knowing that I am totally blessed and have it way better than some women do. This is why I try not to complain. I also remember what a good friend always says "In three years (or soon) this will all be behind you and it won't matter."
A few good friends of mine gave me a 'sprinkle' this past Saturday and it was more than I imagined. I got some of the best gifts, ate some great food, and really enjoyed hanging out with some girls I haven't got to hang out with in awhile.

On an unrelated note, I got observed 2 Fridays ago so I am finished with my observations for the year. I thought it went okay but it went actually better than I thought. It is such a relief to have this over!

Joel: Well not much except he is still surviving me and a 2 year old.  Pretty sure he is counting down the days just as much as I am except more so he doesn't have to deal with me anymore. He is very busy with his honey do list I have for him all the time.

Well that's all folks. Thanks for the continued prayers and support!
