Christmas morning!

merry christmas to my sweet little angel!

Christmas eve was wonderful. now for christmas morning. what a special thing. Katie's first christmas! She was up early and couldn't wait to see her toys. not that she knew what was going on but... she knew something was up because i was so excited! I hope she inherits my love for chrsitmas! I get so excited this time of year! nana and poppie came over and i think nana was more excited than anyone.
we plopped katie down infront of the tree and took a bunch of photos of her with all her gifts. it was so cute.
katie loved all her presants expecially her car.
katie did great. she stayed awake during the entire christmas morning but when she crashed... she crashed! she was so tired. and after some rocking katie fell asleep for a late afternoon nap and when she woke up it was time for both sets of grandparents to come over for dinner.



I love hosting holiday dinners. setting the table, getting out the good china and silver, and lovely centerpieces. i love entertaining but its so darn hard with a baby so i love when the holidays come around. its an excuse to throw a party ;)

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful christmas eve at my folks house with katie and Beaumont (their dog) he is a standard poodle which i always grew up with but since he is still a puppy we haven't been able to introduce him to katie much cus he still jumps on people but now that katie is a little bigger we decided to let the two of them meet. it was such a hassle taking all the stuff over to my parents house for dinner. i can't believe a baby needs so much stuff. we had to take her high chair, an exersaucer in case she needed some time alone but without Beaumont all over over, her diaper bag, toy bag, christmas presents , goodness our car was full and only to go somewhere for dinner.
It was a wonderful evening. Beaumont did great with katie and no one was as nervous as bri about their meet up. when bri was in the kitchen i let beau get close and give her a little kissy!
she thought it was hilarious. which was a good thing cus bri almost had a heart attack when it happened!
she was such a good girl and her favorite toy of the night was given to her by by little brother (her uncle bill)they were so cute. he held her and they played with it for like 20 minutes. she is too cute with him and they don't get to see each other often cus he is at school so when he is home i love getting them together so cute looking at each other.
bri walked away with 2 new golf clubs and i got some beautiful clothes and some much needed mommy items.
mom and dad LOVED their photo book. i'm so glad because i worked sooooooo hard on it!

all in all we had a lovely time with a beautiful table set for the queen ;) thanks mom!
the night ended with my dad reading katie the night before christmas from the same book my grandma (katie's great grandma!) read to me on my first christmas. it was a very special moment.
when we got home instead of going to bed and waiting for santa katie had a burst of energy and daddy stayed up to play with her while mommy got ready for christmas the next day! once she was asleep daddy got her toys put together!

Katie's visit with santa!

waiting for santa!


we waited until the last weekend before christmas to go see santa with katie and i originally wanted to take her to the mall because these days the mall santas are so darn good but we ended up waiting and i found out when my old neighborhood was having santa come visit and we took her then.
it was only fitting because i remember being little and going to sit on santa's lap in my neighborhood circle with all the kids that lived close so it was great to come back to a familiar place with a little history and introduce katie to santa there.
i was honestly a little nervous that she would cry because most infants do but when santa came she just looked at him and said ehh no biggie.


when i put her on his lap she looked at me and gave me one whimper not knowing what was going on but after that she just sat there and tugged on his beard (which could have been catastrophic to the other kids if katie had pulled too hard but she is so gentle it wasn't a problem) we got some great photos.


when we were done i shed a tear because i was so proud of her for not being scared. i truly can't believe how big she is getting and how wonderful a baby i have . i am so lucky.


we snapped this family photo before we left and it turned out so great it could be one of my favorites.

Katie's first snow!

telling me what she thinks of this huge snowsuit!

her first peak!
katie looking outside in her snowsuit. getting ready to go outside!
first sight of snow!





all snuggled up and warm!
December 16th we got our first little snow storm of the season. it wasn't very much but katie had never seen snow so it was so special for me to take her outside and look at it, fel it, touch it, i even let her taste it. but surprisingly she didn't have much interest. she looked at me jumping around showing her the snow like i was a crazy person. as if snow was on the ground all the time. o well maybe next snow storm she will get it. i did take some great photos. i even called my neighbor over to take some pics of us in the snow for the first time ;)
the next day it was a little colder and there was still snow on the ground so i bundled her back up (this time in 2 layers) and took her on her first sled ride! nana got her the sled and we went to a neighbors house to drop off some holiday goodies. she had a ball!

Christmas party

WE had out first Christmas party in years cus last year i was preggo and wasn't entertaining... little did i know it would be harder to entertain with a baby than to entertain while pregnant. all the things i thought that were harder while pregnant seem so easy now that i have a baby. things are ten times harder with katie but its all worth it most definitely!
the party was a success that is until it was time for katie to go to bed. poor thing she was teething so badly that when i went to put her down she screamed her head off. her room is on the other side of the House so not one of the 16 people we had in the house heard her which was nice but i felt so bad leaving her in there. i didn't realize it was her teeth that were bothering her until se had screamed it out for a lot longer than normal. Brian ended up going in there and rocking her to sleep cus i had tried and tried and there were still tons of people at our house. i ended up kicking people out around 9ish and thinking... sheesh we really have to let katie start crying it out once this teething thing is over cus she needs to learn to put herself to sleep so in times like this we can just put her down and she can put herself to sleep.

oh the party was great. it was so nice to see old friends and some new ones.
here is a photo of katie with her godparents. always nice to get them all together.



everyone brought something and ohhhhhhhh it was all soo good. we had TONS of food! i ate holiday food for a week after!

this is only one of the tables! we had a whole table full of dessert too!

crawling??not yet!

Katie's bottom two teeth are about a quarter through. she still is having rough nights and even days when her teeth are hurting her. I hope this isn't something that is going to last until all her teeth are in! Bri and I put our tree up this past weekend and its so beautiful. It was so huge we had to cut the top off once we got it in the house cus it scratched the ceiling. Hello Magic Eraser! Works like a charm. I am scurrying around the house to get it ready and decorated for our Christmas party on Sat. It's not easy to get a house ready for a party when you have a baby. Don't say "do it when she is napping" cus my baby still doesn't sleep through the night so when she naps... i nap.
Katie is getting ready to crawl. I don't know how long it will be but she just recently started rocking back and forth on all fours. She has learned to go from sitting to all fours but then falls forward, either on her head (i catch her 99% of the time, don't worry) or her hands and legs go out from under her. She can't figure out how to stay up there long enough to move forward. She isn't sleeping well, worse than usual. She won't nap for more than 45 minutes in the morning... TOPS and in the afternoon she naps for an hour or 2. But I really have to work at getting her to sleep. Someone yesterday told me that babies minds can only handle one thing at a time. When your baby is trying to learn how to crawl her brain is only focused on that. Crawl, Crawl,Crawl. So it is hard to do anything else like sleep because their brain is just focused on learning that one task. Makes sense to me. Katie hasn't been eating well this past week either. Maybe along that same theory, she can't concentrate on anything but learning to crawl. Who knows whats going on in her cute little head. I do know one thing, She is like a sponge. She is learning so much every day and I love watching her do so.
Katie is saying MaMa more clearly all the time. She still babbles mamamamama but the number of distinct MA MA's is increasing each day. Every time it makes me melt. Today for instance I was frustrated because I had been trying to put her down for an hour and she wouldn't' go to sleep so i put her in the car seat and i was going to go for a drive to get her to sleep and as I'm buckling her in, (annoyed may i add) she looked at me and said straight to my face, MAMA and I melted. Almost started crying. Took her out of the car seat and said what the hell I don't care if you nap you are just too stinking cute! Not the best mommy thing to do but it was so adorable.
I can't wait for her to learn to crawl however I do love that fact that I can put her somewhere and know she will stay there. However that isn't true anymore either. She is rolling over so much I put katie somewhere and come back and she is on the other side of the room. Not crawling... but I definitely can't leave her alone anymore and expect her to be 100% safe and in the same place I left her. I can't imagine what its going to be like when she can get from one room in the house to the other! YIKES!!!!

mamamama

For the past few days katie has really been experimenting with her voice as the books tell me a baby this age should be. she is too cute. she alternates with me and bri when she is screeching. we screech (or scream really) back after she does it and we can do it back and forth a dozen times. its adorable but hard to catch on video cus she always gets distracted. in the past few days she has also started babbling "mamamamama" which is too cute. who knows if she really knows she is saying MA MA or not but it makes me feel good knowing she is hearing and understanding a word enough to know how to repeat it.
But tonight Brian was in her bedroom around bedtime winding down and i walked in and she gave me the biggest smile when i walked into the door and said very clearly MA MA. Well, as clear and pronounced as I have ever heard her. It could have just been the start of a babble but she didn't continue so it was so special and I take it as her knowing it means Me ;)

Her teeth are coming through really well. I can see them sometimes if she gives me a big grin. Bottom two teeth came at the same time and are still about neck and neck as far as which will be completely up first. I didn't know they came in two's.

We went in for her second flu shot on her 7 month birthday and she is weighing 18 lbs which is right on track. I read that after 6 months the weight gain drops from 1.5 lbs a month to 3/4 a lb and at her 6 month check up she was 17lbs 12 oz and her 8 month was 18 lbs. so she is doing great. The doctor didn't seem to mind that she wasn't crawling yet. She is working on it so hard i think. she rolls all over the place from one end of the room to the other but can't seem to figure out how to crawl. she has the right stance down, propped up on her hands ready to go but she can't figure out her legs. O well it will come when she is ready.

Katie's First Thanksgiving!

Ahhh so much to be thankful for. This was Katie's First Thanksgiving and she loved it. She unfortunately couldn't have any turkey at the table with us but she sure loved sitting at her high chair and watching all of us enjoy our meal. She banged her toys and played around and was so patiend the entire meal. She wanted to help me get ready so the night before thanksgiving I put her on the table before I set it and took the cutest photo! She thought it was so funny to sit on the table because I had never put her on a table before. heeheh she is so cute!

We woke up early and had a bath to get nice and clean and dressed in our new turkey day thanksgiving outfit. She was just the cutest. Here is a picture of mommy and Katie before company arrived.


Daddy had woken up and had been working on the turkey all morning and Katie wated to help but she couldn't help cus daddy wouldn't et us in the kitchen ;) He is very particular about his turkey as he should be because it turns out wonderful in the end! Our dinner was delicious and we even had time after to take some photos of the three of us. I even picked one for our christmas card which I ordered after guests had left ;) I'm so excited to send out christmas cards with our new addition to the family... KATIE!!!
Now that thanksgiving has come and gone that only means one thing... CHRISTMAS IS COMING! I am so excited about Katie's first Christmas!!!!!!

2 teeth on their way

We were up for two nights every hour. It was awful!After checking every morning for teeth I can now see two small white speck in her bottom gum. It is so adorable. She hasn't been up more than usual since those two nights but she has started to chew on my fingers and I can feel the sharp edges of the teeth coming up through the gum. Last night I told bri to stick his fingers in her mouth to feel and he hadn't seen them and when she bit down on his finger he was like WOW I FEEL THE TEETH! It was so cute cus he didn't believe me that they were on their way cus he hadn't seen them. ;)
I don't know how long it will take for them to come up so people can see them but I know they are there and she is a drool machine! Now I know what people mean by their babies drool through outfits and have to wear bibs around the house. Katie has started drooling so much I keep a bib on her all day these days!

Up all night...? A TOOTH!

Last night Katie had me up every hour. It was terrible. I had given her tylenol because I have a feeling teeth may be on their way. She is chewing everything, drooling a lot more, and she spit up, which I hear can happen during teething. Although she didn't have the fever or the over fussiness yesterday or the runny noes which I also hear is common for teething but needless to say I gave her the tylenol incase her little gums were hurting.
Tylenol didn't help! EVERY HOUR! I haven't been up every hour since she was a newborn and even then she gave me 2 hours! Sheesh! Although I'm not as tired as I thought I would be today maybe it is because I am so excited!

I usually wake up every morning and the past week have been checking Katie's little mouth to see if any white is showing.... TEETH! This morning I checked and it's not easy to check, Katie isn't a fan of mommy's fingers in her mouth but I didn't see any teeth. As the sun started to go down (4:00 these days!) I checked again because Katie seemed to be over fussy for a baby who was changed, fed, and had nothing in particular to complain about and since she is normally a happy baby this was unusual for her.
I couldn't see at first so I gave Katie my finger which she immediately put in her mouth like everything else(don't worry it was clean!... for those of you who know how I am a clean nut around Katie when it comes to washing your hands!) and I pulled it out with an "ouch!" because she bit me as she always does but this time I felt something... could it be....?? a tooth??
Sure enough I managed to open Katie's mouth just enough to see the little white nub of a tooth on its way! I was so excited I started jumping up and down and when I had a moment alone with Katie later on in the afternoon I even made up a song about Katie and her first tooth on it's way. Ha Ha it was accompanied by a silly dance while waving my arms around! It was a great night.

This was Katie Laughing at me after I did my silly song and dance for her!

Bananas

We have been busy little bees this week. Katie is trying all kinds of stage two combination food like apple, strawberry, banana and apricot with mixed berry which seems to be a favorite of hers but not of mine because it leaves a nice purple stain on everything it touches although everything comes out pretty well in the wash so no worries. This morning we tried a banana when breakfast was done. I chopped a banana and put the pieces on her tray and she picked them up (by the way bananas are slippery little things so it was hard for her to pick them up) and just squished them in her hands. She got one piece in her mouth but the majority got squished in her little hands before making them to her mouth. I ended up putting pieces on my finger and letting her eat them off the tips of my finger. Most that went in just came back out. She didn't really understand how to swallow pieces of something rather than puree food. Because god knows she is a pro at eating puree. She is my little piggy! She loves food!!! I'm not sure how else to give the pieces to her without them squishing. She did start coughing once cus I gave her a piece that was too big which scared me to death of course but she was fine. She worked it out on her own. But YEAHHHHHH for trying something new!

Starting Meats

We have made a bunch of changes this week. I think maybe too many but; we started 3 meals a day, added stage 2 foods, and began meats in her diet. I know that may have been too much change but she is doing pretty well so far. She loves all food. Always has. My little piggy eats pretty much everything. The first two days she only ate 2 meals and didn't want the third but today she ate all three meals and coincidentally followed the same schedual as yesterday. She has never had 2 days in a row with the same schedual. Humm... getting on a schedual??? yeah fat chance! but we are trying! Stage two foods are pretty much the same as stage one except bigger and combinations of a few fruits or veggies and katie seems to like them all.
As far as meats... ugh they grose me out but chicken and rice and turkey and rice have both been a success. Daddy has been feeding her lately because he has been coming home early lately so he can help! Katie gets so excited when Daddy feeds her!

Rolly Polly!

Katie was so cute today. she was rolling over and over and over. She wouldn't stop. She usually rolls once a day or so and sometimes its on accident but today she was rolling off her blanket. It was so adorable. I grabbed my video camera of course to catch it.

6 months already!

I can't believe it has been 6 months and I am jsut getting to the updating this blog! That is so sad. :( I can't believe Katie is 6 months old. I can't believe I have nursed her for 6 months, I can't believe I haven't lost my mind, and I can't believe how lucky I am to have had this beautiful baby in my life for 6 months. Those things along with a bunch of others blows my mind. How I managed to survive and keep Katie well and thriving is something I didn't know I could do. With the help and support and love from all our family and friends Brian and I have made it through without any catastrophies. Thank God. Katie is doing wonderful. She is such a happy baby and oh so healthy. She is so big. I can't wait for her doctor's apt on Monday to see how big she really is. Her doctor's apts so far have all been good reports and besides a small case of Thrush (which I hear is pretty common) she has been healthy. Bri and I even had a horrible headcold and cough 2 weeks ago and are still battling the cough at night and Katie managed to fight it off. Thank you breastmilk I like to say. I am convinced she is healthy and (knock on wood) hasn't gotten sick because I continued nursing, and for those of you out there who have exclusively nursed you know it's not easy. (not using a bottle... is even harder!!!). 6 months down... 6 months to go. I must say I am kinda proud of myself for sticking with it. I remember some nights when she was 2 months old when I threw my arms up and said "I've had it, get a bottle Brian" but I stuck it out and I believe it was the right decision no matter how hard it was.
Here are a few photos from her previous "well" visits to the doctor

2 months visit. Katie was in the 90% for height adn weight! good job baby girl!

Pretty girl! so good for her shots!

Booked a c-section!

We schedualed a c-section for Friday April 30th. 4-30-2010 at 12:30! Om I'm so excited!

Due date has come and gone!

Well Saturday, my due date, has come and gone and guess what... surprise surprise NO BABY. After the doc's report of most likely she will be late I wasn't that surprised to tell ya the truth but still it would have been nice to have her this weekend. Brian fixed me another breakfast in bed complete with fresh squeezed orange juice. It was delicious but knowing we are going in on Wednesday means this is for sure the last pampered breakfast for me in bed for a while. I have such a sweet husband.
I am nervous about an induction and Bri and I talked about changing our minds and calling the doctor monday morning and talking about a c-section. The reason being that Katie is so big and after the doc saying it could be days before I start pushing and then 50/50 chance of having a c-section anyway due to her size after all that waiting around makes me think twice about if c-section would be easier. Lots of emotion and thinking ahead going on this weekend. Mrs. Paradise and I went to brunch this weekend hoping to get things started but again... Saturday has come and gone so ... so much for that tactic Kady. Thanks for the good old try.

Scheduled induction!

We got a call from the doctor about scheduling an induction and once I heard that we could get baby Katie out and about the sooner the better I thought so we went ahead and booked an induction Wednesday morning April 28th at 6:30am. Baby Katie if you don't come this weekend by your due date you are coming the 28th. I know I could just wait it out and see when she decides to come but in all honesty I think after 40plus weeks of being pregnant it's not like I'm cheating. I'm just being organized in my birthing process. Besides the doctor told me it could be 2 or 3 days because I have an unfavorable pelvis before I can even start pushing so.. maybe Friday will be the lucky day. I hope not. I'm hoping she will come this sat on her actual due date. Just a waiting game now.

Last Doctor's Apt

Well today is 39 weeks and 4 days and the last doctor's apt I'm hoping. I had the mindset and wishful thinking that I would go in there and the doc would check me and say "yep you're on your way, 3 cm dilated, totally effaced, just go right on over the the hospital and have yourself a baby." WRONG... oh so very very WRONG! Regardless of what she said... (everything is fine and in place by the way, just not moving along very quickly) I left the office feeling defeated. Why isn't Baby Katie ready for the world? Why doesn't she realize I am ready and really really really want her here? Why isn't my body making her come... time is up Katie... Lets Go!!!
But once I had calmed down and grasped that most first babies are late and stubborn I quickly started to make plans for the rest of the week thinking if I was busy, murphy's law, she would come while I had something planned for the day. We'll see!!!

Breakfast!

I love nothing more than being woken up to breakfast made by hubby! Bri decided to make me breakfast this morning because he figures the baby could be here any time and there would be no more "breakfasts in bed" or maybe breakfasts at all for that matter once we are sleep deprived and walking zombies (as someone referred to the first few weeks to me the other day)
MMMMMMMM delicious waffles with rasberries!

39 weeks!

I can't believe I made it to 39 weeks. Just a few weeks ago I thought there was an end in sight and at this point I feel there is no end! Went to the high risk doctor Friday and the baby is weighing in at 9lbs and with no signs of labor as of today the baby is still growing until the day she decides to arrive.

The good news was that the high risk doctor told me my fluid is low enough now that they don't need to see me again! The waiting game begins...
A few more photos Bri took this weekend

Got my ring off... CUT OFF

So sad... but I had to do it. It's been 2 weeks of me trying to get my ring to come off and finally Jennie and I went on down to King's Jewelers to get it taken off. I walked in and as I approached the owner working there who I recognized from time in the store, he took one look at me and said "you waited too long didn't you" With a smile on his face I smiled back and simply said yes as I hung my head in shame. He made me feel better as be brought out the "pizza cutter" and assured me this happens all the time. So nice and of course Jennie was there to catch it all in photos. Thanks jennie!


MY POOR HAND AFTER

It looks worse than it really is. It didn't hurt for any of you that have to have this done in the future. I just HAD to get it done after a friend of mine told me this horror story about a friend who went into labor and had to have her rings cut off in the hospital and as the emergency room cut the rings and pried them off her finger the setting was compromised and diamonds went flying!!! No thank you. This was the last thing I had to do before going to the hospital. DONE AND DONE!!!

38 weeks! and Bri's 31st b-day celebration!

HOW AM I STILL GROWING! COME ON!!!
38 weeks pregnant! Almost there! Baby could come anytime they say. Had a good doc's apt and the fluid is going down so all I need to do is start walking and maybe eat some spicy food to get the ball rolling! I even mowed the lawn today to try and get her to come!
We had a wonderful little bbq for Bri's 31st b-day with family and celebrated with a little badmitten game. I figured a little game of badmitten wouldn't hurt the labor starting process.
Well first hit over the net I fell down. Goodness I gave everyone a scare but proceeded to get back up and continue on with the game. and to no surprise of my own... even falling on my hands and knees didn't shake baby Katie out. I guess I'm jsut going to have to wait until she is ready on her own. I have tried everything!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUVBUG!

High risk doctor!

Friday! wow.. this has been the longest week of my pregnancy life! That is for sure!I feel like I went to my Tuesday check up like 3 weeks ago. Now something I left out of Tuesday's report: my midwife said (besides wow you are huge!), if you are really desperate just cry at your doc's apt on Friday and maybe they will induce you. Well I'm back reporting on my blog so I'm assuming you all understand there is no baby induction tonight. I did try scheming a little to see if I could get a date underway to get baby Katie brought into the world a little early but no luck! The doctor told me there has been an induction craze recently and everyone is trying to get induced because of "big" babies however he also told us that induction on a body that isn't ready for induction raises the chance of a c-section 40%. now if ya ask me... that is very high. All in all he told us that at 39 weeks if I don't have any signs of labor we can maybe talk about an induction but I'll just be 38 weeks tomorrow so that's at least another whole week of feeling huge! yikes!
The most exciting part of this week's high risk doctor's apt was we were going to get the weight of baby Katie! It has been 2 weeks now and we couldn't wait to find out! Lets see... at 34 weeks she was 5 lbs 10 oz which was big... then at 36 weeks she was 6 lbs 10 oz... and now at 38 weeks... drum roll please........ 8 lbs 7 oz! That's an 8 and a half pound baby with 2 weeks to go. Doc told us like this..."well, your fluid has gone down which is good news (from 29 to 25... who knows what that means) but you do have a rather large baby". Bri and I said oh that's OK how large.. like 7 lbs maybe and he told us 8.5 lbs. I about died! I asked if he was sure and with his adorable accent he said "yes I am sure I took all the measurements twice and came up with the same numbers each time which confirms that..." I stopped him right there and said "alright alright a big baby sheesh!" Another thing the doctor mentioned was that Katie's abdomen is bigger than her head right now which he politely told me means afgter I do all that work to get her head out, her body isn't just going to slide right out... I'm going to have to keep pushing to get the rest of her out! As we all nervously laughed a little he told us if we went the full 2 weeks which who knows maybe I will at this point, that I could end up with a 9.5-10 lb baby. good lord i packed up my things and said see ya next week doc!
As the doc left the room Bri's arms went up as if a football team had just scored a touchdown. I asked "Why are you so happy" in an annoyed but curious tone. He responded... "ohhhhh yeah we are having a chubby baby". Which is something he has told me from the beginning he has wanted a little rolly polly baby. Well Bri... looks like that's what you're gonna get ;)

One ring down... one to go!

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this... but I can not get my wedding rings off! These past few days of heat has just made it impossible! My fingers are huge all of a sudden and there is no way I'm getting these rings off. I tried everything.
After working on it for 2 days I'm happy to report I got my engagement ring off. However my wedding ring just woundn't budge! I was in the shower crying because it hurt so much to get it off my finger but the one thought that got me through it was... Mary! Man up with this pain!You have to give birth in a few weeks so deal with it! And I swear that's the only thing that got me through it!

Easter

The day before Easter I had a surprise visit from my "god-sister" from Boston! It was such a fun start to the weekend! Loved seeing you Berry Bee! And to think... we used to be about the same size! Goodness I'm huge!
mini photo shoot after Berry left! Hey... it was the first day we could wear short sleeves! Feels great when you are pregnant!

Bri and I had a lovely Easter... and no baby! So much for my little rabbit coming on Easter... soon enough though people tell me.. don't rush it because you will miss being pregnant. I'm not too sure about that but I assume part of me will miss the irreplaceable bond we have while she is in my belly cooking! Just got back from the doctors Tuesday and she took one look at my belly and said "oh I'm so sorry you are so big!" She was really nice and means well but she measured me and I'm measuring 44 weeks.. which is what caused her to say that. People are only pregnant for 40 weeks remember so when your doctor says you are measuring 44 weeks it makes ya think. It definitely made Bri and my heads turn. We are thinking I'm so big because the fluid is still so high but we haven't had that checked since Friday. Oh and Friday the fluid had actually gone down which is great news. It's still in the high range but not AS high. We will find out how big Katie is on Friday when we go see the high risk doctor again. Can't wait!!!
Easter!
