Official Due Date - July 27th @ 12:00

So, I'm now scheduled for a c-section on July 24th. Doc says if I go into labor on my own anytime 36 weeks or beyond, that they wont stop labor, they'll just go ahead and do the c-section. We'd prefer her to at least wait until 37 or 38 weeks, but a little early would be ok! We can't wait to meet our new little girl!

New Due Date!!

So, I had my 32 week check up this morning. All was good. I've gained a total of 28 lbs so far, and Ava is growing right on track! Doc said that since Aubri was a c-section, and we know I'm having another c-section this time too, that they'll most likely do it a week before I"m due. I can't get too big cause then I'd run the risk of tearing my existing scar. So now my due date/surgery date is probably July 24th. Yay!! That means only seven more weeks until our baby girl is here, and only 6 more weeks of work for me! (assuming doc approves that). Time's ticking down fast!

10 weeks to go!!

Only 10 weeks left and baby Ava will be here!! We still don't have any middle names, so suggestions are welcome! We're here in Panama City on our last official vacation. Maybe we'll get some inspiration for a middle name while we are here!

11 weeks to go...3rd Trimester! Finally!!

So...we're finally in the third trimester. Doc visit went good. Ava's heart rate is good, she's measuring fine, and I've gained 22 lbs so far! We've gotten the nursery painted, but dont have much in it so far. Next month we buy furniture! And for now, we're looking forward to one last vacation to the beach next weekend before our new little one arrives. 11 weeks and counting!!

Rocky-our new furbaby!!

Baby Ava won't be here for another 14 weeks, but we do have a new addition!! Welcome home Rocky!! Rocky's a 2 1/2 year old pure bread boxer. And a fabulous playmate for Jazmin. They get along great, and he's a welcome edition to our (growing) family! We're quickly outgrowing our house! :O)

Jazmin

I'm not sure how Jazmin feels yet about our new edition on the way. She has definitely been kicked a few times, and she looks up at me like I did it. But she still hasn't given up her favorite spot to lay! She's quickly running out of room though!

Our Little Girl Has A Name!!

We've decided....on a first name...drum roll please....Ava!! Ava Mandeville! It has a nice flow to it, huh? We haven't picked a middle name yet, but we'll get there eventually. Miss Ava is kicking every hour and a half and I can see her making my stomach move! Jason and Aubri haven't "seen" her move yet, but Jason has felt her. I go for my "sugar" test tomorrow. Yuck. And the doc should start measuring my stomach at my visits from now on. We'll keep you updated!
