34 WEEKS!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while but it has been VERY busy in the Rodford household.

We bought a house so we have been very busy working on that. We are all moved in except for a few little things left at the apartment which Eric will be getting tonight and then we just need to clean it a little and that's all set. The house on the other hand in another story. We had the city come look at sewer pipe yesterday and come to find out there is a huge problem with it that he previous owner neglected to tell us about. The city says the entire system needs to be replaced which will cost a few thousand dollars. The owner signed a statement saying there was nothing wrong with the sewer system but the city has been to the house many times and has many documents to prove it. So we called our lawyer and he said we need to get an estimate of how much it will take to fix it and then bring the previous owner to small claims court. Just what we needed right now. We don't even know who to call to get an estimate from. Eric's asking people at work so we'll see.

As for Emma..... We went to the doctors yesterday and had an ultrasound done. She is in the head down position and has enough amniotic fluid so that's all good. Apparently she is underweight and only in the 22% range. She weighs 4 pounds 9 ounces at this time. If she gains 1/2 pound every weeks like she should that would put her around 7 pounds 9 ounces. I thought this was normal but the doctors might want to do another ultrasound in a few more weeks to check her weight. I am going every week now. My blood pressure was super high yesterday, 150/90,when the nurse first took it but we think it was because she used a very small cuff. When they took it at the end of the appointment it was my normal 118/72. So they want to keep and eye on that just to be safe. Not that I haven't been stressed out or anything lately between the house and work crap I wouldn't be surprised if my pressure was a little high. So since yesterday I have been attempting to "relax". Although I am currently at work so that's hard to do.

There are no new pictures yet. I don't have Internet at the new house yet. They are coming on Monday so I will try and get some new ones up ASAP. Once I get vacation pics developed I will post them too.

I guess that's the update for now. If anything changes I will let you know as soon as I can.

31 and 1/2 weeks!!!

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while but I was on vacation. I am not at 31 and a 1/2 weeks so let me catch you up.

Good news first.... We bought a house! We got the keys teh day before we left for vacation! It is a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath house. It has a LR, DR, Kitchen and a play room ( which Eric had taken over as his bar room). We have a two car garage out back but the sided over the doors so it's now a huge shed. A nice back yard and most importantly it's ours!It's in Lansingburgh but it seems like a really quiet part of town. We are working on getting it ready, painting and cleaning that is. We don't have to be out of our apartment until Oct. 1st so we have a few weeks to get everything done and moved.

Vacation was WONDERFUL and I didn't want to come home. It was so relaxing and carefree. We can't wait to go back next year.

The baby shower invitations are in the mail. I can't believe it's only a month away. It's so exciting. Which means Emma will be with us before you know it. This pregnancy has gone by soooooo fast I can't believe it. Everything is still going wonderful. I start going every two weeks as of Friday. She is moving all around these days. She doesn't really like people to feel her though. She'll let you watch but as soon as you put a hand on my belly she stops moving. It's weird.

Bad news................... Eric might be getting layed off. He will find out definitely tonight. Perfect timing huh...new house new baby. Keep us in your prayers that if he does get layed off that he can find a new job quickly! I'll keep you all posted.

That's it for now.
