Pregnancy update

I finally met my OBGYN for the first time on Christmas Eve. She was nice and I don't think I will have any issues with her which is good. We told her about all our of concerns. I haven't updated this part of my life lately, so let me fill you in. Tyler came over two weeks early and was still 8 lbs 8 oz. Also, I had no clue I was in labor. I just happen to have an appointment and my doctor checked me and then sent me straight to the hospital. I had Tyler 6 hours later. SOOOOOOO that has been a concern of ours from day one because we live an hour away from the hospital. Second, Cody's new boss is making him leave again. Yes, you did read that right. He is leaving in a week and won't be home until the 28th of January. Actually, his trip goes until the 28th of February so his boss said he has to buy his own plane ticket home for the birth. THEN he doesn't even get to stay home with me. He has to go back on the 14th of February. My due date is the 6th of February but Cody's parents are gonna be in town the weekend Cody leaves and hopefully that helps a little bit. We are a little freaked out! As I think we have a good reason to be. Oh yeah and at my appointment she told me she didn't think this baby was gonna be any smaller because I am already measuring at 36 weeks and I wasn't even quite at 34 yet! DOH! So my next appointment is the 7th of January and then I go to weekly appointments and my doctor said she is gonna start checking me every week to see if I am dilating or not. Then hopefully we might have some clue as to when this baby might be coming. It's very stressful for me to have this in the back of my mind all the time. Not only does the timing and everything suck, BUT it also means I am going to be extremely pregnant and at home by myself with a 3 year old. That alone is also stressing me out. I ask for everyone's help. Keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Prayer I make it until the 28th and that I don't have any complications come out because I don't need to add to anything. So I am making an emergency plan in case I do go into labor and Cody isn't home yet. BY the way, IF I go into labor before he gets home, he will be getting his butt on a plane and coming straight home. So that is our drama for now. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a HUGE deal. And if anyone wants to come visit in February while Cody is gone I WILL GLADLY WELCOME YOU ( and put you to work I am sure! ) That's the other thing that kind of sucks, My parents can't come out, Cody's parents are going to make it for like 2 or 3 days but also have a conference while they are here and my sisters can't come either. This is one of the reasons why it's better to live near family but oh well. I am going to stop complaining for now and post my newest picture. I JUST had Cody take it so enjoy
