Happy Birthday Baby!

I found out today that I'm having my baby on October 21st! I will have a c-section at 8am. I have to be at the hospital at 5am so it's going to be a long day. I'm so excited but am nervous to be away from Ava. She has been VERY attached to Mommy lately. I think she knows it's getting close.

I still have to have weekly fetal monitoring and labs.

It went by so fast and I can't believe it's almost here!

Fun at home.

We grew some sunflowers so Ava and I picked off some of the seeds for the squirrels. We are going to hand the rest in the trees so they can eat them off.













We made the easiest peanut butter cookies ever.
1 c. peanut butter, 1 c. sugar and 1 egg.
They were really good and Ava had a lot of fun.












She really liked licking off the spatula.


















As you can see, she was really good at it.














Just look at those eyes.

Another app.

I had another weekly check-up today. It was one of the fastest ones so that was nice.

My doctor said that my levels have gone up a little bit. I'm on another medication to help get rid of my bile acids. I have never paid more for a medication. It cost $100 and that's my copay. That's just for a 20 day supply. It is a powder that I have to mix with a drink or applesauce. Not really looking forward to it. I guess it's pretty gritty. I have to take it 3 times a day.

Next week they are going to start monitoring the baby. I have an ultrasound first, the stress test next, an appointment after that, and finally labs. It starts at 9 and I'm hoping that I'll get done by 12:30.

With the ultrasound they are going to check my fluid, the growth of the baby, and then the kidneys again.

Only a couple more weeks.....
