Baby Update
Week 33 - 7 weeks to go!!
Today, I am officially 33 weeks! Which means this baby will be born later than Nora was! YAY!!!
We had an ultrasound and an OB appointment yesterday.
We haven't heard results from the Ultrasound, but we found out that she weighs about 4 lbs. 14 oz. (give or take 11 oz.) No matter what, that's bigger than Nora was!!
Tim noticed on the ultrasound that her size was equivilent to 33 weeks & 5 days (my actualy dates were 32 weeks and 6 days) so it will be interesting to see if they keep my due date the same or push it up.
She is head down, in the perfect position for a normal delivery! We are attempting a VBAC, so that is great news! I'd like to avoid another C-Section if at all possible!
Dr. Long said that everything looks good. My Blood pressure and urine (one of the first ways to see if preeclampsia is occurring, is if there is protein in the urine) both look good. He gave me a list of symptoms to keep an eye out for...swelling of hands and face, flashes of light in my eyes, dark urine etc. But, at this point, we are anticipating a normal delivery!
We are settling into my parents home. I'm starting to go through Nora's baby things. She's loving the idea of Elise being here soon and seeing all the things that Elise will need!!
Mom and Dad are still in Florida (there are electrical problems at the Florida house that Dad's trying to fix before they come home). We aren't sure when they will be home, but Nora asks everyday where they are!!

Updates...
Life has been BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!
We are still in Lancaster, here's a taste of the past couple days...
Tim's doing my parents daily paper route...
We've watched Cole and Spencer a couple times, which Nora LOVED!!!...
We went out on Valentines Day (the FIRST time we've been able to do that EVER, thanks Denise!)...
Monday - We had Dan and Amy over and took them to El Serrano's for dinner...
Tuesday - We dropped my car off at the Shop, traded cars with Cameron, traded cars with Pop, then We drove to Annville to pick up bunk beds (thanks for the truck Pop!!)
Wednesday - We went BACK Annville to get the mattresses, because we forgot Tim's wallet in all the car switching, made sugar cookies for CG, headed back to Gram and Pops, dropped the truck off, then headed to Harrisburg for Caregroup...
Thursday...Slept in Harrisburg (Wed. night), had a Dr. appointment at 9:10, Lowes, Big Lots, Target...
Back to Lancaster to pick up my car from the shop (SOME ANIMAL nested in my engine and chewed through some wiring which disabled my hazards lights and turn signals!)...
Nora's in bed, Tim's doing the Paper Route
...And now I'm just plain tired!!!
We have also decided to move in with my parents, so we are in the process of making room for Nora in Lizzy's room. We were able to get a bunk bed from Craigslist and a great buy on a mattress for Nora from Big Lots! The Bunk comes apart and can be used as 2 twins, so since we are having another girl...it will work in the future for us too!!
We are hoping to make a few trips on Saturday to start getting our things. I'm really wanting our bed, so hopefully we can pull that off somehow!!
Anyway, as you can see, we are busy! Here are some pics of the kids playing piano! Enjoy!

I Love My Wife
So,
This is Tim.
I highjacked my wife's blog to let everyone know how much I love this woman. She is simply amazing. I am very glad, grateful and thankful for my wife. I thank God every day for giving her to me, and I thought that this theme was appropriate to show her these things.
Nicoli, I love you very much. I am very glad to actually spend Valentines day with you this year. I cannot wait until Valentines to come. I hope it is as special as I have tried to make it.
I love you.
Tim

Baby Update
Week 31! Only 9 to go!!
Yesterday we had another Ob appointment. My blood pressure was a few points higher than normal for me, but still in the normal range. Not to get too specific, but my urine was good...no sugars and just a trace of protein. Just to be safe, they sent blood work in to make sure my liver and kidneys are working correctly. The Dr. still needs to look them over, but a nurse called yesterday afternoon to say that my platelets looked good and she expects the Dr. to sign off on the tests as normal! So THAT's good news!
I'm not dilated or effaced at this point...more good news!
The Dr. decided that she wants to see me weekly now. When I got preeclampsia with Nora it all happened quickly over one weekend. Therefore, she doesn't want to take any chances again of that happening, so weekly check ups.
I'm still measuring larger than my due date indicates, so I'm scheduled for another ultrasound on the 26th. They will compare it with the ultrasound from before (which will be six weeks apart). I'm wondering if they think my due date is wrong?!?! I'm OK with having her a little early! :)
Elise's heart rate was 140 bpm, which is normal. She's been moving A LOT...making me uncomfortable at times. I've been having Braxton Hicks...which is interesting. I didn't have any with Nora.
Next Thursday starts the week to beat Nora's arrival!! She came at 32 weeks, so we are praying that Elise stays where she is longer than that!
We are getting excited...nervous...ready for Elise's arrival! I'm going to go get our clothes from the storage unit this weekend and see what I have in Newborn size! Hopefully I have enough WARM clothes. Nora didn't really start wearing that size till summer, so we'll see! :)

We are in Lancaster
While my parents are in Florida for the month of February, we are staying at their home! It's nice to have a bit of our own place again. We truly miss having our own home and are praying that God moves mightily to bring us to that place again soon!
While we are here, we'll be doing my parents paper route, which went well yesterday! (It was our first attempt alone!)
I have lots of pictures from Matthew and Janelle's wedding, once I go through them all, I'll post a slide show!
Matthew and Janelle safely arrived in St. Lucia yesterday. Poor Matthew got the stomach bug that's been going around on Sunday night, so it sounds like travel was NOT a fun thing. Thankfully it sounds like he's feeling much better! They are staying in a Villa that sounds amazing and of course St. Lucia is beautiful! We can't wait to see pictures!
