Well...we were hoping for a calm July but sadly it began with another tragedy for our family and having to lay to rest another young cousin. Marvin was 17 and just beginning life...I know he is happy though being back with his mom, Aunt Anna. Rest in Peace Marvin...we all love you.
Also, my dad's femur broke and he had to go back to Methodist. Fortunately for dad, there was a different Orthopedic Doctor there...he has given us more hope than the other ortho doc. And in the past week, he has had a rod put in his leg (last Saturday) and he was doing so well that on Monday they did surgery on his arm...the one where the tumor continued to grow. They took out the tumor and put in steel plates and screws and packed the area where the tumor was with cement. He's doing ok after the surgery...still pain but typical surgical pain and not the pain he was in before. Thank goodness for this!
On to other things...we've been having weekly appointments since we are to that point, but she started them a little earlier due to the high fluid levels I've got. Not sure what that means, she said baby is fine, but they are watching it. If I don't have her before, they will induce at 38 weeks. Well...that was before my growth scan last week. Apparently Little Miss Langley is ready to bring us some much needed happiness. The ultrasound tech checked her 3 times. The first scan she measured her at 8lbs 14oz, second time 8lbs. 11oz, and the last time 8lbs 5oz! YIKES...and this was only at 35 weeks!
At our next appointment, she will have the ultrasound first and I guess we will know more after that. Hopefully that was her last big growth spurt and now she will just use the rest of the time to grow some hair! :) Yep...she's still bald! I told dad that we would get him & Langley matching bows! Haha!
So...I guess we just wait now...this is the first time I've been impatient through a weekend...it needs to hurry and be Tuesday!
Come on, Langley! We are ready to meet you!
