She's Headed South!!!



Our surro emailed us after her OB appointment this morning and the title of the email was "Happy Dance!!!" because our little girl is officially head down and hopefully staying put for the 4-6 weeks!  To be honest, she is measuring two weeks ahead right now so she's growing and will be a bigger baby than our surro has delivered in the past...so hopefully more like 4 weeks.  Which means we arrive on May 1st and that would be just DAYS after we arrive.  Due date is May 17th.

Getting super, super excited now that everything is in the right order in utero and no more fear of c-sections!!!

I forgot to say a huge congrats to Avey in Delhi who welcomed Hari recently! He's adorable!!!
And sending lots of LOVE and PRAYERS out to Bernadette and Duane and their two little ones. We are all thinking about you guys...

    1. Amber, can you believe it? It's amazing that we stuck with it this long and we are finally almost there. Thanks so much for all your encouragement and words of advice. You knew how hard it was to get the negatives and failures so I hung on every word you shared. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    1. Kerrie, I am too...but not too early. If we are 5,000 miles away and she goes in to labor it will be the maddest dash EVER to the east coast from Hawaii!
