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!!

First Day = Success
Jordan can't stop talking about her first day back to school. Unfortunately, mama can't keep up, but here's what I can tell you...
- She wants to go back today, not wait for tomorrow, and stay there.
- Both of her teachers and all of her friends were there. Except, Aidan, Tanner and Katie were not there (not a surprise since Aidan and Tanner both graduated on to kindergarden after last year).
- She, Grant and another friend built a tall tower, a small tower, steps and a wall using blocks.
- She and Ben read a book about a mouse together and then they had to pack their backpacks together so that they could go home to their houses.
Miss Brenda shared Jordan's enthusiasm when I met them at the door this afternoon. She said that today was a great day back for all of the kids and that it seems like the makings for a great school year!

The girls and I decided to take advantage of a nice breezy evening with a long walk. We finally started using the Sit N Stand stroller that the girls' Uncle Justin and Aunt Mel got us for Karter's baby shower... and we love it! Jordan stood for the first half of the trip, but opted to sit when she got a little tired. Karter was just happy to feel the wind in her hair. Me, I am thankful for that breeze 'cause 73° feels much hotter when you're 30 weeks pregnant! Thursday, August 18, 2011
C'mon Aug 29!!
It's almost time to go back to school, and Jordan is READY!! We've upgraded from the PBKids Preschool sized backpack to the Small, and the size seems perfect! It arrived this afternoon and Jordan excitedly pointed out that it's her favorite color, favorite pattern, and has her name!! Wow, it seems mama did good!!
