Final Countdown... Sort of...

I had my 33/34 week appointment today; I'll officially be 34 weeks tomorrow. Spencer continues to register good numbers, and with no swelling, contractions or cramping, things are on track for the delivery of a healthy baby... soon!

Dr. Kirven and I discussed dates and options. And as of this afternoon, we are officially on the schedule at Akron General for a 9:30a delivery on Friday, October 28th!! BUT... Dr. Kirven doesn't work on Fridays, and the surgery is scheduled with a doctor that I'm not familiar with. Jared and I talked about it, and I'm going to call tomorrow and see if we can move the date to Tuesday, November 1. That is the first available date that Dr. Kirven could perform the c-section.

So... stay tuned! Spencer is going to join us soon, but the question is now, "when?"

Karter - 8 Months!

Karter turned 8 months old on Tuesday, unfortunately, she dreamed about being in a cat fight the night before...



8 Fun facts about this 8 month old...
(1) I *think* she can sit unassisted, if only her toes weren't such a distraction!
(2) She is finally eating more baby food than formula - but the gal hates those organic apple and spinach puffs that mama keeps giving her!
(3) There are 2 things that I believe she loves more than anything else - Jordan and Water (the kind you splash, not the kind you drink).
(4) Her favorite show is Ni Hao - Kai Lan (according to Jordan). I feel a Chinese themed birthday party coming on!
(5) She is wearing 18 month clothing, and baby got back!
(6) She loves music!  Music makes her dance - or do a pelvic thrust anyway!
(7) She wears size 4 Pampers Cruisers. (Did I mention, baby got back?!)
(8) She loves to play!!
