Tomorrow I officially end my 37th week and begin the 38th week! Baby Bell is about 6 1/2 lbs now!!! Big baby! I can totally concur she is at least that big.
So, no news still on her official arrival date. But I guess my doctor sent over all the necessary paperwork to my insurance company and once they approve the C-Section (knowing its medical reasons and not just opting for one) and give my Dr. the authorization number then....we will be told the date and time for Baby Bell's birth-date! Doug and I and our families are itching to find out!!!! Seeing how it's after 5:30pm on Friday then I guess we will most likely find out on Monday at our next check up.
Another adventure of ours is the big move! This Sunday, Aug 1 we are moving to our own little apartment for out little family to start out together! I am pretty proud of how well we've gotten almost everything packed and all our plans are set and ready for us to carry out! Pretty much everything is packed and loaded in the van, obviously the daily necessities are still in our room and then the crib will get loaded up tomorrow and I think the futon tomorrow as well.
And yet another adventure is for my lovely hubby, Doug, he has an interview on Sunday and I'm so excited for him and am trying to make sure he is calm and feels ready for it so that they see how wonderful and what a great asset he'd be to their company! Keep him in your prayers!!!

It's the Final Countdown!!!
So I am in the middle of my 35th week--well actually on Saturday (in 2 days) I will have finished my 35th week and begin my 36th week! Can you believe it? Our baby girl will be here in less than 4 weeks!
Everyday the anxiety (good anxiety, not bad) is growing and our impatience to hold her and see this little precious being that is beating me up so viciously!
There has been a slight change in plans as to how she will be delivered. It is now what we originally thought or expected, but Mom and Baby's health is what is important now. About a month ago, I was nauseous (go figure, pregnant woman sick to her stomach right?) and got sick. From "bearing down" during that I ended up causing a massive boat shaped hemorrhage between the retina and eye ball and apparently blew a blood vessel as well. According to my eye doctor it was "oozing, gushing, squirting, etc"--exactly what I want to hear at that moment, you know?
But as a result of this-which plenty of pregnant women have this happen to them--I will have to have a scheduled C-Section for Baby Isabella's birth.
Honestly, at first we both cried and were super bummed out, but being the amazing team we are we both quickly began listing off the positives about this situation to make the best of it. I mean, really, either way we get to have our baby girl right? Either way she is healthy and perfect? We find out on Monday July 19th what the scheduled date is and cannot wait.
We are going to install the car seat this weekend and then pretty much be as ready as we can be for her arrival. I think I might wash her onsies again in the next 2 weeks and I'm sure I'll continue to "nest" by uber cleaning the room and making sure everything is as we want it.
It's really great to get to go through all of this with Doug. I love him so much and everyday when we talk about how fears and hopes as parents I realize what an amazing Dad he already is. He sings to her everyday still and talks and helps me out so much more than I could hope for. I can't imagine having to rub someones back and feet as much as he does for me just so I can have a few minutes of relaxation and comfort amongst the lovely symptoms of your last few weeks!
We know this will be the biggest adventure of our life together so far, but we have each other to lean on and the best support system of a family. I'm very lucky to have such a loving and supportive husband who I love so very, very much!
***I cannot believe Baby Belle is around 6 lbs and 19 inches long!!!! Whoa!!!***
