Our last photo shoot!!

I went to the Dr this morning, we had our final in utero photo shoot. She was simply beautiful of course!! According to their calculations she weighed 6lbs 2oz. What a big girl!! And I'm not even 35 weeks yet. She hid her face most of the time, but we were able to get some good pictures of her after her measurements. Only 3 more weeks til I go to be induced. Maleah and Michael ask everyday, how many more days til Mali is here. They are all so excited and so are John and I. Cant wait for us all to be at home together.

A sweet surprise!!!

So this past week has been a busy one at the shop!!! On Tuesday we interviewed about 75 people!! What a LONG day! On Wednesday we had 11 of those people come back for orientation. A very busy morning!! I had to take one of the guys home after orientation was over. Well Mariah and Chris and their kids had been to Florida the past week. They spent Tuesday night in Savannah which is about 3 hours from Griffin. I called her Tuesday night and told her that they should come here and stay a couple of days, which was the original plan, but then we were so busy at the office that those plans got changed!! She said she would let me know something. I called her Wednesday morning and she said Chris just wanted to get home, he pulled his back out while in Florida!! I told her that we should be done with class around lunchtime so if they could hangout in Savannah then maybe we could meet somewhere and at least we could spend a few hours together. So I went on to the office and like I said we had orientation, then I took one of the guys home. On my way back to the office I called her and she said they had decided to go on home and they were almost to Fayetteville. Well when I got to the office, John met me outside and said the Smiths were there and very upset cause their baby had gotten her fingers cut on their machine, for me to hurry and come talk to them. He said this with a kindof smirky grin on his face, I had no idea what he was up to. So I went on in and went in the back of the office and there sat Mariah, Chris, Kenan and Kenly!!! What a sweet surprise!!!!
We hurried home and got the kids out of school ordered pizza and pasta from Pizza Hut, ate and then headed to a Braves game. The Braves actually won the game and we had a great time! The weather was nice, it cooled off and felt really good. They came to the house the next morning and told the kids bye before they went to school and then they headed home! Their visit was short and sweet but we enjoyed every minute of it :)

Ok, so I went to the Dr this past week. I had lost a couple of pounds YAY!! So as of now I have only gained 12 pounds. I was 31 weeks and measured 33. Everything went quite well!! The Dr's here are so much different about things than back in Carteret County. They will induce you with no problems at all. When I had the placenta previa, my Dr had talked to me about a c-section about 2 weeks early. At that time we discussed that most of my family lived in NC and it was about a 10 hour drive for them to get here so a scheduled date would be wonderful. Well as you know my placenta has moved so hopefully heads down and no c-section, BUT she said that she would plan to induce me so that my family could be here. (so nice of her) So my due date is Oct 28 and we have a planned induction for Mali on October 14!!! Its also Julies birthday so we are excited that she may be born on that day!!! I go back to the Dr on Sept 22 for a routine visit and another ultrasound. I cant wait to see how much Mali has changed in the 7 weeks since we have seen her.
