The time has come...

Well the week is finally here, I am 34 weeks (soo close! eek!) and tomorrow we will travel to Fort Worth to meet with the craniofacial team that will become such a huge part of our lives in the next few years. We dont know how extensive any of this will be but this meeting on Friday morning will  begin our journey with them.
I'd be lying if I didnt say Im quite anxious about it. I dont know why, exactly....As far as I can tell it will be a lot of paperwork, maybe a tour of the facility, and a generalized game plan, based on the average cleft lip/palate baby. I think it just makes it all a lot more real than it has been. Until now, its just been a lot of talk, and research and pictures. Now we will actually meet the people who will perform these surgical procedures and treat our precious Easton.
I ask that you pray for us to have a safe trip and for my blood pressure to stay level. It has been really good this week, and I hope it stays that way. Also please pray that we are able to get all of the questions we have, both asked and answered. I know we'll always have questions, but it would sure help if we could have a lot more clarity after this appointment.

After we meet with the team at 11 we plan to treat ourselves to a good steak dinner, just us, and try to relax and unwind before we head back to west Texas. Its going to be a long 24 hours, most of it on the road.

In other news today I have a Regular Dr check up, soon we will be going in every week to check any labor progress...for now We're hoping Easton stays in there and bakes a few more weeks (even if this Mama is sooo over being pregnant lol). He has been moving a lot, pushing and stretching out, there are times I have to push back with my own hand to get him to release his little foot that I just KNOW will poke through the skin one of these days lol

We've been attending Child birth classes, they're pretty good. We have one more week of that class and a tour of the Birth Place next week so that we'll know exactly where to go and all of that when it is time.
We're getting ready for his arrival, we have most everything we need, all the big items are in the apartment, we just need to put everything to gether, I need to wash clothes, but blankets, bibs, burp cloths & sheets are all washed, folded and put up! :) I do believe nesting has begun!  (poor luke hehe)

Continued prayers for Eastons development and both of our health are appreciated as always!
