Growing Babies

Ashlyn went in for her 3 year appointment today. I wasn't able to go this year :( I have to save every vacation day I have for maternity leave. It made me very sad because I have gone to every other appointment. Luckily, Joey's work schedule allowed for him to take her. He said that the doctor said she looked great. Ashlyn has been so healthy lately, that I don't think she has been to the doctor since her two-year checkup. They weighed and measured her. As usual, she is my tall, skinny girl. At age 3 she only weighs 29 pounds. She is still in the 20th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. She's such a tiny little girl. Joey said that she thought she was a princess when she put on her exam gown. She was singing songs for her pediatrician which I guess he got a great kick out of.

In baby news, I am officially 29 weeks today. I am now in my third trimester and am feeling it. I still feel pretty good, but I am just so tired. Teaching full time is really wearing me down. If all goes as planned, I will be done at Christmas Break. I think it will be an easier transition for my class to leave then opposed to a random day in January. I'm getting closer and am now seeing an end in sight. I'm going to really miss my class, but I'm also very excited to be at home with my children.

I went to the doctor last week and she said things looked great. My only concern is that the baby was breech when we got our 3d ultrasound. Ashlyn was never breech, so I'm freaking out at the thought of a c-section. My doctor assured me that 90% of babies flip in time. I'm just so worried that he won't. I pray he does what he needs to do! We are continuing to get things ready for his arrival. With Ashlyn I was totally ready for her by this point. I have a lot more to keep me busy now, so I feel like I still have so much to do. It's going to get hectic with the holidays coming. We have so much going on.

In name news, Joey and I think we may have it narrowed down to two names. We both have a name we really like. So, we will see who wins. We are waiting until he's born to make the final decision. We've also decided to keep it a secret from everyone until he comes. Even Ashlyn doesn't know. I've decided it's a lot of fun to not tell anyone. Especially since I don't have to hear any opinions.
