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.

7 lbs. 9 oz. Sounds big enough to me, lol. I wouldn't worry about her weight, babies pack on so much those last fcouple weeks that I'm sure she will catch right up. I'm SOOOO excited to meet this little one!! I can't wait!

Sucks about the house :( I hope you guys can get it all straightened out. Have you tried calling a septic company to see if they can fix that sort of thing, and maybe get an estimate from them? If not I would call the city office and ask them. If they are telling you it's screwed up they should be able to tell you who can fix it.

Anyway, I'm sure it will all work out, it always does...keep your head up.

Can't wait for those pics!!! Pics of the house too!!! PLEASE!!
