Another month gone by...

The weeks are flying by. Or at least when I look back on them they seem to have gone by quickly, but during is a different story. Life in California is quickly becoming a routine, which is nice. Josten is living with us again and finishing his senior year at Centennial High School in Corona, CA. We are glad to have him here with us. He will graduate the middle of June and we are so proud of him. Bailey is doing well in school also. He is on year-around schooling so he will actually get out of the 4th grade the end of May, which is nice for him. James' job is becoming more and more demanding but he loves it. Some days he works really long hours but in an economy like this I guess that's what it takes to keep your job. I am keeping busy with doctor's appointments, non-stress tests and keeping up with the kids. I think I work more now then I did when I had a job, its crazy. Yesterday was so busy! Gizmo (our puppy) has kennel cough, which I guess is like the common cold for dogs, so we spent an hour and a half at the Vet's getting him medicine, which is a pain in the butt to give to him. Then after that little trip I came home in time to relax for about 20 minutes before picking up Bailey for school. I had another ultra sound scheduled for 3:30 yesterday so Bailey and I left the house around 2:30 so we could stop off at the library first. We had books to return and Bailey wanted to check out some others. Luckily the library and the ultra sound office are in the same parking lot so that worked out well for us. We got to the ultra sound office around 3:25 and didn't actually get in to have the ultra sound until 4:45...its ridiculous! But in the end it was all worth it. Asher is doing very well! His kidneys have cleared up so there is no more worry there. He is growing by leaps and bounds, he now weighs 4lbs 7oz, he gained 2lbs in a month! What a little piglet! The ultra sound tech said his head is big, thank goodness I am having a c-section. I have another ultra sound scheduled for the 29th of May, by then he should be weighing somewhere close to 7 pounds, YIKES! Bailey was 7lbs 9 oz when I had him. Right now I have the c-section scheduled for the 17th of June, if I wait that long Asher will be closer to 9lbs at birth, that's huge! I have a feeling I won't make it past the first week of June, but I've been wrong before. James is hoping I will go into labor on the 7th of June so Asher's birthday will be 06-07-08, which would be easy to remember...HA! Below are the recent ultra sound pictures (we got 3D pics for free...awesome!) and the latest picture of me (taken April 15th @ 30weeks). The time is going so fast, I can't believe he will be here so soon. Seems like just yesterday I was just finding out I was pregnant. Thanks for stopping by our blog! I'll keep everyone posted on how the next two months go!
