Early Childhood Intervention

While we have been really lucky so far with Penny's development, her rough birth qualifies her to be followed by a physical therapist just to be sure she continues hitting her milestones.

October:Tummy time with
the big cloth diaper booty.

Almost 6 months old!

Parenting two kids is probably 6x harder than parenting one...

One week to go!

So, we've made it to 33 weeks! My C-section is already scheduled for next week. Orange is the New Black had it right when Lorna (the crazy stalker) says "It's like the less time you got, the slower it goes." I was really bored yesterday, so what is going to happen for the next week?! So grateful for HGTV (although my Pinterest boards and conversations have centered on hardwood floors and DIY lately.)

31 weeks

Well, here we are! We have officially scheduled the C-section (still breech!) for 34 weeks. Only 3 weeks left! The ease of counting down also means I am getting way more antsy.

30 weeks, hell yeah!

Excited to announce we have made it to 30 weeks and one day, exactly 7 weeks since my water broke! To quote a pregnancy week-by-week email update, "30 weeks, hell yeah!"
Unfortunately, there are still 4 weeks to go... I've done almost twice as much time already, but the fact that I can count on one hand how much longer I have seems to make it that much harder, but also that much more AWESOME.

Surviving the boredom of hospital bed rest

I'm currently completing my 6th week of hospital bed rest after my water broke early at 23 weeks.

The big question is, what are you supposed to DO all day?

Hitting the wall

Well, I'm done. It's hard to stay motivated when your short/long term goal has been met. 28 week is a great "out of the danger zone" time period. Unfortunately, I have also lost all interest in being here, so I keep thinking, "if she comes now, it'll be fine!" Which only makes life more frustrating.
