Doug's Girls

Doug's girls have been busy!  It's been at least a week since Buggy got over her last cold, so of course we were due for another one!  We spent the majority of the week snuggling and slowly bringing down her 103 fever.  After five long days, a trip to the pediatrician and lots of Tylenol and icecream, it finally looks like she's starting to feel better.  

As far as Mommy and baby sister, Lainey, are concerned, we had our 35 week checkup this morning and everything is going great!  Baby's heartbeat is healthy (in the 140's) and I'm measuring right on track.  She can safely come out anytime now (even though I'd much prefer her to keep cooking for a few more weeks!  I've gotten behind on my to-do-before-baby list since we've been sick for so long!)  Regardless of when she decides to make her grand appearance, I can safely say that this pregnancy has flown by solely because of my spunky little 2 year old!  She keeps me so busy (and entertained!) that I don't even have time to think about anything else!  I can also say that we are much more prepared for the birth of Lainey.  We live 5 minutes from the hospital and I don't have to stress about the hour long drive like I did with Buggy-that was the longest 60 minutes of my life!  By the time we arrived in Charlottesville, I was already 7 cm dilated!!  This time, I'm getting that epidural as soon as possible!!  We also aren't in the middle of moving, and I've had time to get the nursery set up, baby clothes washed etc.  We have every piece of baby equipment you can imagine (the hard part is going to be keeping Hailey out of it all!) and Lainey has a pretty extensive wardrobe to welcome her into the world, thanks to her big sister!  Buggy has registered and paid for summer camp for the entire month of July-Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9am-12pm.  That way she'll get a chance to visit with all of her friends and run around while Mommy takes care of the baby.  We've got the housekeeper already, so I don't have to worry about cleaning the house, and I'm in the middle of stocking the freezer full of dinners! (not to mention all the yummy meals we have to look forward to from the lovely Harris Williams wives once Lainey gets here!)

Buggy and I sure are lucky to be on of "Doug's Girls" and we're so happy to be adding another girl to the mix in about a month!!
