Baby Update

I had my 6mo (holy moly it's gone by so fast!) appt last week and thought I'd give you an update on what's going on with our baby. I guess really nothing new, the dr said it should be just a normal delivery and he doesn't expect any complications due to the birth defects. We actually canceled the appt with the perinatologist (specialist) because we didn't feel that he was going to tell us anything we didn't already know and he said it was pretty much optional to come in. I really wanted to get another ultrasound just to see but since our maternity co-pay is $7500 we couldn't really justify it just for curiosity sake. So, everything else is good. She's growing normally and will hopefully come on time! Cooper was 2 weeks late so we'll see but we are going to Bear Lake 2 weeks after she's due so she better not be too late!
I also decided to switch doctors after my last appt. I have really liked him up until that appt and then I brought up wanting to do a natural delivery (scary! anybody who has advice feel free to give it!) and he acted like it would be a real inconvenience for him and he just kind of blew it off. He's really nice, I just think we want my delivery to go 2 completely separate ways. He wants convenient and fast and I want as little medication, forcepts, c-section etc as possible. I promise I'm not one of those crazy have my kids at home kind of people! I wanted to wait as long as I could for an epidural with Cooper to. We'll see how it goes! I just can't wait until she gets here. Sometimes I want her here so bad it hurts ya know? But on the other hand it has gone by so dang fast and we still have so much to do! All in time I guess

I'm glad she's doing well. What doctor have you switched over to? I guess I could just call you and ask you these questions... haha.

Okay, Cooper is a mini Justin! I love his 2 year pics and I can't believe how much he's grown! You're so tough, Lindy. I like how you're taking charge of yourself. I'm curious now too- who was your first dr, and who do you have now?

I didn't know you switched drs. You are brave to try a natural birth. I'm all about getting an epideral.

I'm glad everything looks good. We are so excited for Ava to get here too. I hope she doesn't come two weeks late. We want you to go to bear lake. Are you sending me a two year pic of Coop? I need one. I love the story of him already blaming Ava. It'll happen a lot. They will have so much fun together though when they can play.

Lindy,
Cooper's pics are so cute. It's funny you are naming your daughter Ava....Ryan wanted to name my Ava, Lindy. Small world. I thought about it and thought maybe we would spell it Lynddie or Lyndy. But then decided Ava was easier to spell. lol.

Lindy!! I haven't checked your blog in forever and was surprised to find out you are having a baby girl about the same time I am!! YAY!! After reading about your little girl's arms I just wanted to tell you that a good friend of mine in high school was born with what sounds like similar arms and it never stopped her from doing anything. She was a cheerleader and on Student Counsel and everything. People would notice her arms, but it never was a big deal. Your little girl is going to be a beautiful amazing person and is lucky to be coming to such a loving home. I'll be checking back for updates.
