Update on Dr's visit and Maxx's surgery

Ok so now that I am having to go to the Dr's office every single week now. My last appt was on Tuesday 3/23/10 with a Dr. Garcia who is one of the Dr's in the group that I have not met yet. Very nice, sweet man I like him a lot. My blood pressure is a little high so he is going to be watching it closely, he made the comment "oh wow we are going to have a big baby" and of course my rely was, no Dr. I think I am just really fat. He smiled and politely said no you are measuring very large. He says my uterus is measuring 40 cm and I should only be measuring 36 or 37. Last week the midwife who measured me said I was right at 35 cm so who is correct? He ordered me to have an ultrasound done next Wednesday so we can see an approximate weight for Khloe so we won't have any surprises....what does that mean? I'm not too clear, isn't every baby's weight a surprise?? Oh well I guess we will see next week. Also I am 1 cm dialated (sp?) and my lining has started to thin out. He tell me I was a certian % effaced (sp?) but I have forgotten the % now because at the same time he was doing a vaginal exam and said "oh ok here is her head", I said wow you can actually feel her head? "Yep I am touching her head"....CRAZY!! I was so excited that I forgot the other details he said!!

Ok so our little "boy" Maxx had his eye surgery on Wednesday 3/25 to repair his "cherry eye" in the left eye. It was very scary for us we had to drop him off early in the morning and he was going to be sedated. When we went to pick him up at the animal hospital they had schave the front of one of his legs about 2-3 inches and you could see 2 red dots where they had his IV in him, it was so painful to look at. (Oh yeah one more detail when I dropped him off at the hospital in the morning he was horrible in the car, wouldn't sit down wouldn't listen, was so loud with this horrible loud noise he makes in the car, he was sooooo excited to be going for a car ride even though we both knew he should not be as excited as he was especially since he was going to have major surgery done) When they brought him out we both leaned down to pet him and he just wimpered with his huge cone around his neck as if to say "Please take me out of here, I promise I will be good in the car next time" It broke our hearts to see him so weak and miserable. He was so lathargic after we got him home he had no energy to even jump on the couch.

Couples baby shower...

Saturday March 6th we had our baby shower. Our friend Carmen Powell threw the shower for us and did a FABULOUS job!!! It was held at the club house of a very very nice apartment home community that is managed by the same management company Paul works for. It was perfect. We had about 40+ guest show up. The camera we used to take pictures with was malfunctioning that day so we did not get any pictures of the actual building so I will try and describe it. When you first walked in there were about 4 tables around the room with large leather chairs around them for seating, in the middle was a large couch with 2 large over stuffed chairs and a coffee table (we opened our presents here) Against the back wall was 1 large counter space with a refrigerator and ice machine and sink. This is where Carmen had arraqnged all the food. We had very yummy looking food such as Rice Pilau, beef samosa's, fruit salad, grilled chicken, and beef stew and salad. Everybody seemed to rave over the food ( I actually didn't eat anything I was so busy talking, I kept trying to go make a plate but every time I started to I got stopped by someone to talk) Paul was very upset that I did not eat any of the food at my own baby shower, I did have 2 large pieces of cake thought...LOL! Ok back to the layout, there were 2 double doors that opened up out onto a beautiful brick patio area. There was a huge wall size fire place with more seating and a huge 1/2 circle brick wall with a built in bench for even more seating. Carmen and Penny did a wonderful job decorating inside and outside. They had mini vases along the brick wall with short pink roses and wrapped around each vase was a pink ribbon that said "It's a Girl" very elegant! My poor friend Carmen had a little trouble with the cake that day. She had ordered a cake in the beginning of the week and accidentally droppped it before it could get in the car. Poor thing shde ordered another one and thankfully they were able to have it ready in time for the shower....It was sooooo good and moist (Again I had 2 pieces, 1 for me and 1 for Khloe LOL)

We were so overwhelmed with the number of people who showed up for us and all of our wonderful thoughful gifts! We received so many beautiful clothes and well needed items from our registry plus gift cards which are so wonderful. Thank you so much to our wonderful friend Carmen for making this day so memorable, We love you very much!!

This was a sign that everybody was supposed to sign as they walked in.

Here are some of the baby's first books we received a wipe warmer, long sleeve onezies, cash and gift cards, Khloe's 1st piggy bank, a grooming kit and some other misc items.

Here are a few of her new outfits, the one on the left is so adorable and so unique we have not seen anything like it. We love all her new clothes!

Here is her princess potty training chair which plays a song when she "makes a deposit" it in it :), a elephant shaped humidifier, diaper genie, and a booster seat/high chair.

New pics of Khloe's room

Ok guys we have finally finished with Khloe's room. The crib has been put together finally....we had to wait about 2 months to receive the missing nuts and bolts for her crib. Our beautiful glider chair came in from Lazy boy which Paul's Mom so graciously purchased for us as her gift to us for the new baby, Thank you so much! My friend Carmen and I finished putting up the few decorations around the wall which Paul and I started last week. So let us know what you guys think! We love it, very girlie but not completely a baby room, she can grow into this room.
