Life is Good! (This is going to be a long one)

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. I feel like it was just a week ago. Anyway, things have been somewhat eventful around our house. I had another ultrasound on October 27 at 35 weeks to see how big the baby was. My ultrasound at 20 weeks showed that he was two weeks bigger than I was pregnant and my doctor wanted to know if he was going to be a big baby or if it had just been a growth spurt. Well, after the ultrasound I think we can cross growth spurt off the list. He was weighing in at almost 8 pounds and his head alone was measuring at 41 weeks! We met with the doctor and he suggested that we schedule a c-section. He's really worried that the baby is just too big and I'm too small. Will and I have been hoping and praying that I would go into labor early so that I might have a chance at natural birth, but at every doctor's appointment he seems quite cozy and at almost 39 weeks I am showing absolutely no signs of labor!!! So the c-section is scheduled and our little bundle of joy will be here on Dec. 2. I have spent a lot of time lately trying to think of all the positive things about a c-section. Here are a few I have come up with:

1. He won't have a cone head!
2. No labor pain ( I'm not thinking about all the recovery pain)
3.Hmmm..... Well if you have any suggestions let me know

Here is an ultrasound pic:



I'm bummed that it's not a very good one. At the actual ultrasound we could see so much detail. He has a ton of hair and we could see his cute little ears and he was yawning and sucking his thumb. Why couldn't the tech get a picture of that?! Oh well!

Lately Will has been having a problem with his back. The doctor thinks it's a disc, but it's been making half of his foot numb for almost a month now. Luckily the one thing that makes his back feel better is also his new favorite hobby! Mountain Biking! He and my dad go out every Saturday for about 2 hours. They used to go after work too, but it gets dark too early now. This is part of the trail they ride. (Sometimes they make creepy crawly friends along the way)





Will and I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary! Sometimes it feels like we just got married yesterday and other times it feels like we've been together forever. To celebrate we went to the Coronado Boathouse and ate ridiculously expensive, but oh so worth it food!! Will got Alaskan king crab legs and filet mignon and I had a peppercorn crusted ribeye. Even the baked potato that came with my steak was one of the best I've ever had. Then for dessert we had a belgian chocolate molten cake. You know the kind that ooze chocolate when you bite into them and are covered with ice cream and fudge. AMAZING!! Plus we had a gorgeous view of the Coronado bridge over the bay with the full moon. So pretty! Anyway here are some pics of our fun night plus a little walk down memory lane of November 19, 2005! Hopefully my next post will be about our new little boy!
