Extra, Extra Read all about it.
Okay, We'll do this with little subtitles labeling the things happening...
Lorelei Rose
Well, our daughter is STILL breech, despite many urging her to flip. Daddy has tried talking to her from below to see if she'll follow the voice. Some have tried placing their hands upon my tummy and urging her head over-she stops parallel to my belly button. Some have tried energy to urge her-she just wiggles more. So we just keep hoping, however it has been common in my family, I am learning, that we tend to like to flip, drop and come out all within a couple weeks' time. So maybe?
Otherwise, she is still healthy like her daddy and right on track for growth. Grandpa gets to take us to our 36 week check up tomorrow, and hear the heartbeat! I know that he has to be excited by now!
We had our first shower with my family on Sunday. It was great fun, and we made out like bandits with tons of home made little cute things. Great Grandma Welander and Grandma Welander have decided that they are going to throw us a second shower and have hinted to buying us something BIG! So I'm excited.
I can't wait to bring Lorelei into this world and show her how much she is loved and welcome.
Moving
Once again, for those who don't know, we are moving this labor day weekend. If you're available, that'd be freaking awesome, if not, we're doing okay I think. It should be a nice quick move.
We're going to move in with my parents under the theory that I can help them through Dad's back problems and Mom's chemo and they can help me postpartum. We'll see how it goes. We actually get our own room (completely) and Lorelei will have her own space!
Mama
Mom had her first dose of chemotherapy yesterday. She is doing okay. Very nausiated, but that is to be expected.
We also shaved her head on Sunday. That was hard. I think that is when the reality of my mother having cancer set in.
Drew
Things are still going as well as ever with Drew. I don't foresee any changes with that. He is very excited to move out of here and maybe have some peace and quiet again. This has been a huge learning and growing experience here with Jon/Tiffany and their children, and we are just both ready to be done.
