34 Weeks and Counting...

Whew! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of excitement here at the Fisher household! We found out the second week of December that we were able to move into a four bedroom apartment on the Drescher side of campus aka "newer side", and the timing couldn't be better with Madison on her way in 6 weeks. So we spent the past week packing, painting and moving our stuff across campus. We are so grateful for all the folks Jarrett works with who helped us move, along with Papa and Grammy who both came to help with the childcare and painting. We are officially "in", and I will post pictures after Christmas when I can get the rest of my stuff hung and Maddie's room finished. We are LOVING the extra space, ocean views (wow!!) and more than two drawers in the kitchen...LOL.

This is our Madison, at 30 weeks. I have another ultrasound at 36 weeks, and it is my final one until she is born. Between the holidays and moving, I think this pregnancy has gone by so fast. Here are a few fun details I am learning about our soon-to-be new addition:
*Madison and Lindsay both wake up around 7am... if I don't hear Lulu talking in her crib on the monitor, I will feel Maddie squirming around! I hope it will last...LOL.
*Maddie's favorite time to let us know she hears us is when I read a story to Lindsay. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, she likes to listen in and push her big sis over to get in better hearing range.
*Sweet Tooth...I have been craving pancakes like crazy- or basically anything I can drench in butter and maple syrup.
*Small and Low...Most of my family and friends comment on how the Madison bump looks smaller (to me it just looks big) than when I was pregnant with Lindsay, and definitely lower. Gotta do some serious ab work after she is born to tighten up those muscles!!
* Madison is nearly 5 pounds this week, and almost 18 inches long! Growing girl!
Can't wait to meet you sweet Madison!!
