So much to be thankful for. Eva is doing real good, practicing getting her nights and days straight. It's so nice having Jeremy home right now and having an extra pair of hands. We went to my sister Kari's for my familys' thanksgiving and had a lot of fun! It was the first holiday where me and my sisters all had children to bring, so that was special. Eva stayed up a really long time with all the holiday excitement and was a very crabby button that night but I'm so glad she got to visit with everyone. It was also her first time wearing a dress! It was a little big on her, but super cute. I couldn't put her in the onesie and shoes that go with the outfit, and the tights were a bit baggy, but maybe by xmas she'll fill it out better. Make sure to check out the Thanksgiving album for more pics.
In the next week or so I'm going to try to bring her to the mall and get her picture with Santa! I checked out the Santa at Southridge mall and he looks pretty tame and not creepy, so we'll see! : )

Home!
We and Eva came home Monday night! We were released from the hospital at around 3 pm. It had been cold and sunny all day. Just as we were being discharged this freak blizzard blew in and it snowed like crazy while we were leaving! It only lasted for about 10 minutes, but we'll be able to say we took Eva home in the first little blizzard of the year.
She's been so wonderful, such a good baby. She is a little jaundice, but she went to the doctor on Tuesday and he said he thinks that it will clear up on its own. She sleeps A LOT! More than I thought she would! She hardly cries, but every night around 8 she'll start to cry and then will cry for hours! But then she sleeps almost through the night. She only wakes up once or twice, but she stays up then for an hour or two. I'm having to supplement her with formula right now until I have a milk supply enough for her by myself, so feeding her takes forever since I have to breast feed her and then give her a bottle too. I'm hoping that soon we'll be able to take out the bottle. She lost a little weight but now is on the way back up and currently weighs 6 lbs 6 oz.
Jeremy is already going back to work tomorrow and I will miss him! My mom is coming to help me out for the next few days. I am healing nicely, but still need the pain meds to get around.

Happy Birthday Evalyn!

1 day
Tomorrow is the big day! Our baby's birthday should be November 14. I am so nervous. I really want to meet her, but so nervous about the procedure and worried about knowing what to do with her! I am so glad that I will have so much support from my and jeremy's awesome families.
I think now that this pregnancy is almost over, I will really miss it! I will miss having her so close; its almost like she's been all mine for this whole time and now I'll have to share her. I am so excited for her to be her own person though and to watch her create who she'll grow up to be.
The image above is a progression from 22 weeks, to 28 weeks, to 32 weeks, to 35 weeks to today, 39 weeks. Please continue to watch our picassa album for pics of her this weekend!

One Week
Last week Tuesday the Dr's discovered that our little one is breach! Typically this is discovered a bit earlier than now, but we decided to try to do a procedure to try to rotate the baby into the head down position. Unfortunately, she's just too big and has too little room to move and they were unable to turn her.
SO
That means we are going to have her by cesarean! They have made an appointment for me on Friday November 14th at 730 am. We're very excited and nervous! I can't wait to meet her.
