Catching Up

It's been a while..a long while, ha!  So I'm going to try to catch up on what's been going on in the Colvin household since I last blogged.

Here's a photo rundown to get us caught up a little:

~ March 23-25: our "babymoon" to D.C.
 

31-32 weeks in D.C.

~ April 1st: Katrina Kuhn hosted a C'Ville shower for Landry!  And Marci got to come!!

Precious decor!

Mikey, Marci, and me (32-33 weeks)

Me, Kruse (sporting Landry's headband :), Marci, and Kason)

Katrina and me (Love this girl like a sister!)

 **Funny story: The boys (pictured above) thought that "party day" meant Landry would be there, so they couldn't wait.  Katrina had some explaining to do!  They sang "Happy Birthday baby" all day anyway ;)

After the shower, we went to watch Matt play on Co-Rec Blue in the UVa Law Invitational softball tournament.  They came in second!!

~ April 6-8 (Easter weekend):

Me (33-34 weeks) & Matt
@ Ben Martin's annual crawfish boil

Easter Sunday (33-34 weeks)

~April 10th: I was measuring small (30 cm's) at my regular check-up, so my doctor ordered a stat US.  ~April 12th: we had our US showing that Landry was just fine, measuring in the 63rd %ile for size.  God is good!!

~April 15th: Section K threw Landry a shower!

awesome diaper cake

~April 22nd: Midpoint hosted a shower for Landry, but I failed to take a picture :(  But I did snap one pic that weekend.

35-36 weeks 

~April 27th: A CNA at work hosted a surprise shower on my last day of work!  How blessed am I?!?  It's truly overwhelming!

The CNA (Thelma) had a cake made with my baby pic on it!  So Sweet.

~April 28th:  Mom and day flew in on the 27th and we headed to Louisiana on the 28th!  Oh my was last a long road trip at 36-37 weeks preggers.  I was afraid I had lost my ankles for good!!

36-37 weeks about to leave for Louisiana

~ My first appointment with Dr. Robertson in La was early Monday morning (Apirl 30th).  A follow-up ultrasound showed that Landry still wasn't growing well.  She had fallen from the 63rd to 2.7th %ile for size.  Somehow I didn't hear or see the point or decimal because I thought it was the 27th which isn't near as bad as the 2.7th (yeah...I think it was God's way of keeping me calm) :)  Sooo...talk of inducing began. In the meantime, I nested like the best mama bird anyone could imagine, cleaning out closets at mom's house, washing cars, and baking cookies for the hospital.

And I spent a lot of time with my oldest daughter, sweet Doolie-Belle.  She LOVED the pool this summer.

~May 7th: I had my last scheduled prenatal appointment with Scott.  I was already 1 cm dilated and 75% effaced.  Praise the Lord, Landry had grown to the 17th %ile by that appointment, but he felt best not letting her go much past 38 weeks...so we set a date: May 13th!  and let Matt know that he should wrap up finals asap ;)  He got home a few days before she was born, so we got a little last minute time alone. 

Our last date night as a family of 2 the night before
we checked in to the hospital! (May 11th)

Whew...sorry this was so long!  I've got to get better at staying caught up!  

Stay tuned for "The Summer of Landry" - complete with pics of one cute baby!!!
