Holy Macerole, it's been a while!

Hey everyone! So I am still alive and I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to update my blog. A lot has happened over the past few months and life has been a wee bit insane. I have several new ultrasound pics, a couple of prego pics and an angry tummy pic which I will attach. Ok, so let's play catch up...I am now going on 35 weeks pregnant and completely miserable and about the size of a planet! We found out about 2 months ago that our baby has an issue with the connection of his esophagus to his stomach called esophogeal atresia, so he is unable to eat via his mouth, which means that he is unable to swallow the amniotic fliud and will need sugery following birth. And because he is unable to swallow the fluid I just continue to build up more and more until now I have twice the amount of fluid that I should and my tummy measures over 4 weeks over-due even though I'm still over a month away from his due date. My stomach is so full with baby and fluid that I feel like I could pop at any moment and my stomach looks and feels as though I'm smuggling a good sized watermellon! Our baby weighed approx. 4 lbs, 10 oz as of 6/11/09 and is still happy, active and healthy in all other areas. We had to switch doctors and hospitals in order to deal with his problem so now I will be delivering at UC Davis and if all goes well with our baby after birth, he should only be in the NICU for 2-4 weeks. The doctors have scheduled me for inducing on July 15, but they may push it up which I would completely encourage. Everywhere I go people assume that I'm having multiples or that I'm going to pop at any moment and it's getting a little old being reminded of how far away my due date really is. I'm in a lot of pain and am finding it very difficult to sleep much any more and I can't really drive or be driven very much any more, but I am not on bed rest, so I'm grateful for that and I'm finding that Bryce and I are being blessed in so many different ways. We finally were able to buy our house and we are loving our new home and neighborhood. Bryce just got a job as Wheatland Fire's first ever Fire Fighter Intern, which is extremely exciting and we are blessed to be able to have most of our family available to come and visit us after the baby is born. :) So That about sums up all of the crazyness for now. I love you all and hope that all is going well for you also!
