A new doctor.....

I found out last week that my doctor is taking a sudden, early retirement due to a family illness. :( Out of respect for their privacy, that's all I'm gonna mention about it at this time.  Needless to say, I was a total wreck last week when I found out!  I have been seeing him for the past 10 years, and he also delivered Colt and Luke.  I worked for him for 5 years until Colt was diagnosed with cancer, and he is just an amazing man.  I will truely miss him.  Thankfully, I was able to bump up my appointment so I could see him one more time.  When I went in my blood pressure was a little high, and we got a kick out of that.  It was only because of the situation.  He did one more sonogram and told me I was having a beautiful baby girl.  He was just so sincere!  Gosh, I am going to miss him!! We discussed the options, and both agreed that I will see a new doctor that will be joining their office in September.  I can't imagine not going to that office.  I love the ladies there, and I wouldn't deliver anywhere else than in our local hospital.  They have a GREAT maternity center.  I left feeling very reassured, and much calmer than when I came in.

On a happier note, the house is officially under construction!  We have started on Brea's new room and bathroom upstairs.  The rooms are now framed and sheetrocked.  I'll post some pictures soon! We should be completely finished within two weeks, and then we will begin to move everyone to their new rooms and I can get started on the nursery downstairs!!  My mother and the other ladies have started on the bedding and it's coming along beautiful!  As soon as the rooms are ready I'm going to order her furniture.  I have it all picked out, and we are going with black.  I love it!  Another friend of my Moms' is making her a gorgeous vintage dress to bring her home in, complete with a bonnet and booties.  I just love the old, vintage dresses and would of begged her for one, but she gladly agreed to do it for me! 

I'm really expecting her to be here at the end of December, so with about 4 months left we are finally getting it together!  Time is going by so fast, and I am soaking up every kick and squirm.  Knowing she's in there growing, kicking, and sucking her sweet little thumb just makes my heart smile.  She is just a sweet, little miracle, and I can't wait to hold her in my arms!
