Baby Update

It has been a while since my last post.  I've just been gestating away...  This past Saturday baby Stanis had quite a fantastic baby shower!  He now has a wardrobe that rivals both mine and Tom's put together!  I was truly blown away by everyone's generosity.  We have so many great items for the baby!

Today we had our ultrasound to check on the placenta previa.  My parents, who were in town for the shower, joined us and got to see their first ultrasound.  Baby Stanis wasn't terribly cooperative and they didn't get to see too many things that were recognizably body parts.  However, I think they still enjoyed a glimpse of the baby and hearing the heartbeat.  Baby Stanis is measuring about 4 pounds 2 ounces.

Unfortunately, the placenta previa has not resolved itself and the OB thinks we are most likely headed for a c section.  She wants to check it again in a month.  At that point we'd be about a week away from the c section, so we're really bringing this one down to the wire!

In other news, Tom set up the bassinet a few weeks ago.  My big trip today was to Target to buy diapers. We're going to get the car seat this weekend.  Slowly, we're getting everything ready for the baby.  We have a very limited amount of space to work in because of the remodel, but I don't think the baby is going to mind!

In other news, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary yesterday!  What a year it has been and what an exciting year we have ahead of us!!!
