Finally...

I feel like life has been crazy busy the past couple of weeks but not the "hey, let me tell you about all about it because it's been so fun" busy. It's been the mundane getting the house together, etc. busy. Althought it does seem as if Baby Elle will be making an appearance sooner than her due date. And I am not complaining about that :)! I went to the doctor yesterday and all of us were shocked at how much progress I had made since six days before. Basically, all I need are contractions and I will be considered in active labor. I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up that she'll be here soon because labor is just so darn unpredictable! I could still go another week or more! However, if I'm going on Sophie's mood I would say that this baby will be here in a couple of days. Bless her heart, she is out of sorts! She has been especially clingy - she's always a Momma's girl, but it has been extreme lately! She wouldn't even go to "her" Nanny, as she likes to call my mother, last night because she wanted me. That was huge. She always goes to her Nanny!! I think she is picking up that her little life is about to change in a BIG way! Even more so than it already has! Oh, she has been such a trooper through all of these changes! I hate that she has had so many changes all at once, but that is life! I have tried to show her that sometimes life throws your some curveballs and all you can do is make the best of it. I haven't been the perfect example in this, but that is part of the process as well.

Sophie has been such an absolute hoot lately!! The things she comes up with are hilarious! She's just so much fun to be around and a part of me is a little sad that our time of it being just us is almost over! It has been an adjustment being in Kentucky and having people fighting to see Sophie. (Not really fighting, but stopping by, asking to watch her, etc.) Although, it is a welcomed change it has taken some getting use to! In Plant City, it was just Sophie and I. A lot of weeks Joe wouldn't even see her until the weekend because by the time he got home from work or school she would be in bed. So she was literally my constant companion! Please don't get me wrong, I am LOVING having family around and their help has been such a blessing! All I'm saying is that it took some adjusting to not having to do everything on my own.

At the rate I'm going I'm sure the next post I do will be announcing Ellie Faye :)!

Life in Kentucky so far

Well, things have been pretty crazy - lots going on since we've been here! I have to be honest there have been many tears because it seemed at first that we were hitting one obstacle after another! Thankfully the two major "stressors" have worked themselves out and I feel like I can breath a little better now!

We found a house!! YAY! And it is seriously SUCH an answer to pray!! It is exactly what I was praying for AND MORE! We get the keys tomorrow so I'll be cleaning away this weekend :)! Joe comes up next week with all our stuff. Thank the Lord, I've been missing him AND the winter coat I left in Florida, ha!

My new doctor - who I LOVE - does a 32 week ultrasound so we saw Ellie Faye. My mother was able to go with me which was so special! I'm going to LOVE that part of living here - and many others! They discovered that she is breached. I have another ultrasound at 36 weeks and if she is still breached then they'll schedule me a c-section. I'll have ANOTHER ultrasound the day of the scheduled c-section to make sure she hasn't turned around. If she has then they'll cancel the c-section. I'm on the fence about the whole c-section thing. Obviously, I would much rather not have one, but I think that God knows the delivery that will be the safest and best for both me and Elle and that is the one I pray that I will have! I'll post some pictures of Elle. It's crazy how much she looks like Sophie and Joe! I guess we know who has the strong genes in the family, ha :)! She's just perfect! She was cracking us all up because she had her foot in front of her face the entire time! Every tech that has given me an ultrasound has talked about how active she is - not sure how to take that :)!
