Well, at 8 and half months, we are nearly done. While I still have some complications that have yet to be sorted out, I'm still managing to work full time! Despite the complications, some that are still looming a bit, I have managed to keep perfect blood sugars and have continued not to smoke! Here's to 8.5 months free of tobacco, I really can't wait until I hit the 1 year mark!
We have FINALLY settled on a middle name! She will Elena Lou. Hubster has been determined to name her after my Mother and as Mom's middle name is Lou- so shall Elena's be. It's a little different but it was very important to Kai, and it makes my Mom really happy. Also, I sorted love my Mom- a lot, so we're happy to give Elena a name after her awesome Grandma!
The Boys are getting more and more excited! K loves to get to feel his sister! J is very into "babies" right now. He has some favorite baby dolls and loves to pat and hug my belly and say "babies!!" While we have stored a few things in her nursery that we'll be moving out of there, her room is nearly done. We've set up her crib and have her bedding and clothes all ready.
I have felt this pregnancy fly by! I feel not yet ready for her to arrive! It's as though there's still so much to do! With J, I was so over due- I was absolutely ready- this time, the 7 weeks left feels like it's right around the corner! I also do have some fears about delivery! We will be delivering at a different hospital with a different OB and very different complications. That has my anxiety up a bit. We'll make it though!

Wondering about the boys?
Hannah!
