Kiddie update

So much going on...but here is a little recap.
  • Finished my last MBA course before maternity leave. I didn't want to risk another 6 week course, since it would be too close to my due date. So, I'm not officially 50% done...8 classes down, 8 more to go.
  • Katie is doing great in her big girl bed...no issues at all. If only potty training were this easy (we're still not making any progress there and I don't want to push her). Hopefully Grandma or Mom Mom will have better luck and can train her for me.
  • Last appointment at the maternal-fetal medicine specialist didn't go so well. The mass above baby's kidney has grown in size and changed shape, so they are now seeing me every week for testing. They have a pediatric surgeon and pediatric radiologist on call for after the birth, in case anything needs to be done. We'd probably go to Chapel Hill for the surgery, but hopefully it won't come to that. They are going to discuss if I should just deliver in Chapel Hill, but I haven't heard an answer on that yet. It was a sad appointment, but at least hubby was there too and helped me think of questions. I go back on Tuesday and am hoping for better news, although I don't think the mass will shrink at this point. Keep praying!
  • I am 90% sure we've picked a name, but don't want to announce it yet because I'm letting it sink in. Stay tuned.
  • Katie has been having a great time at the pool and we may be taking her to the beach this weekend. She's already told us she won't go in the water, which is probably good since the hurricane is passing by NC on Saturday and waves/undertow are supposed to be bad. Check out my little pip!

That's a great update. I can't believe you are 50% through your MBA. I am really proud of you and all you've accomplished, especially this year.

That little 'pip' is Grandma's little sweetheart, and I can't wait to see her again.

Have fun at the beach! Check things out and let me know how things look down there.

Pippy wants you to visit her...you should do it! I guess you only come down when Richard asks you to :(

Get Pippy to call Richard and ask, and then have Richard call me. I might consider it.
