Another Day ... Another Doctor's Appointment

Wow! Going to see Linda every two weeks sure makes the time fly! I just got back from my appointment and things are good. I love, love, love hearing Baby Liby's heartbeat ... truly, I could listen to it all day long! The BPM was 154. Baby is also in the head down position (which, I learned today, should occur at 28 weeks; we are 29 weeks and 4 days, so that is good), so barring no strange flips, Baby should be set.

We finished Lamaze class last night. It was a very informative class, and I truly appreciate the information that was shared. The best aspect of the class, however, was all of the Bible verses that the instructor shared to help guide us through this process. All-in-all, it was a fabulous class and I highly recommend it -- although it did increase my anxiety about delivery. I think that I am too visual of a person to actually watch a delivery occur. I had to keep turning my head because once I see something like that, it just plays over and over again in my mind. After Monday's class, I had dreams all night long about delivering Baby Liby. I haven't had many "baby dreams" but in this one, Baby Liby was a boy. :)

Grampy Fred is sooo excited that he has his minor surgery on Friday. He hopes (and so do we) that he will get to go home afterwards ... it will be wonderful to have him back home!! Given all that has occurred, he is in excellent spirits. That's the thing about Grampy Fred, he is just an amazing person who is not given over to complaining. He has been so brave through this whole process, and Baby Liby is blessed to have him as his/her Grampy (and I am blessed to have him for a dad!!).

Excellent progress has been made on the Mastursery project. In fact, if all goes as planned this week we can start painting the walls this weekend!! How cool is that?! We still have to complete the windows, build out the closets and scrap/paint trim, but over all, we are doing great! I can't WAIT to see it all come together!

Hope you are well ...

Love,
Katie
