Working Girl

Above are some new pictures of Baby Brother from my appt. last Thursday. He is doing great and meauring BIG or at least further along than anticipated. Our due date hasn't offically changed but from all the measurements Thursday he was consistantly at 25 weeks making the due date then November 2nd.

I have been released from "HIGH RISK" status which is great. I still am having water retention & swelling but not serious enough to keep me at high risk.

August 15th I take my glucose test (this is standard testing for all pregnancies. It is to see if gestational diabetes has developed) and August 16th I have my last appt. w/ my regular OB here in Vegas. I have a new doctor all lined up once we move. I have an appointment set for August 30th to meet here. I will be delivering at Edwards Hospital in Naperville, IL. Once I meet with her I will finish my hospital registration and find a Peds doctor for Elli and Baby Brother.

Updates on the move: Ryan has been having multiple interviews with multiple companies. A few look very promising. We have a house almost locked in. We just need to send our money order in for the deposit and we are set. We are sadly Leaving Las Vegas (like they say in Big Brother...haha) August 20th. We hope to arrive in Naperville, IL (a suburb of Chicago) by August 24th (that is Ryan's Birthday present). Ryan's folks and sister are coming out August 14th to help us pack the POD which will be picked up the 18th. His sister, Kelly will fly back where Mike & Marcia will be our co-pilots in driving are cars across country! Fun for them. A 7 month pregnant stressed daughter-in-law, a dog-who isn't the best car traveler, a 3 year old antsy pants and their beloved son...sounds like barrels of fun!? :/ hehe

Definitely, memories to be made (good & bad).

Elliana's 3 year check up.

SHE IS GROWING! WAHOO! My little muchin has broken out of below the 10 percentile for weight (FINALLY).

Friday I took El for her 3 yr check up here are her stats:

Height: 38 inches (74%)
Weight: 29 lbs (32%)

She is doing great. Almost 100% potty trained. A few over night accidents here and there but over all good w/ that. We do need to work on her jumping on on leg (which something they need her to do by the time she is four) and riding a bike (but she is getting there). But she knew her colors, ABC's, counting and of course how to ask WHY? haha.

Our little girl is REALLY growing fast and truly becoming a BIG girl. Geez how the time flies!
