After the ultrasound yesterday, we have a few updates to share!
1. I've finally gained weight - I'm 2 pounds over my starting point!!!
2. Baby Campbell isn't so much of a chunk anymore. She now weighs 3 pounds, 14 ounces and is at the 54th percentile. This is still very good, but it's a significant drop from the 70th percentile 2 1/2 weeks ago. Looks like we may have another scrawney one, after all!
3. Her kidneys looked great. This was one of the watch items from the 19-week ulstrasound.
4. The amniotic fluid level was good. Low fluid was the reason I was put on bed rest with Cassidy, so this was a huge relief.
5. Baby Campbell has a big head, which tells me that this is another Spencer baby. I'm betting we're out of luck with the cute newborn hats this time around, too. We couldn't fit them on Cassidy's big noggin, either.
6. We didn't get any good pictures of her face because she was balled up too tight. Yep, definitely a Spencer baby.
7. Baby Campbell is still a girl!
We finally had a chance to start getting the room ready. The crib is up and curtains are hung! Cassidy's furniture will be delivered Thursday, so we're planning the big switch for next weekend. It's finally starting to come together!!

Mama and Papa's New One House
Mama and Papa have moved out of the house we all grew up in and will be putting it on the market in a few weeks. We've explained to Cassidy that Mama and Papa have moved closer to us, and they have a new house to live in. Whenever we have to replace anything, Cassidy calls it a "new one _____" (e.g. my new one dress, or Daddy's new one car). So the new house is called "Mama and Papa's New One House" and sometimes just "Mama Papa House" for short.
We went to see Mama and Papa at their new one house the other day, and took Cassidy's tricycle with us. Cassidy rode around the block over and over and over again. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had!!

Baby Campbell Update
We got some very good news at the doctor today! First, the two watch items identified during the 19-week ultrasound have both resolved themselves, which the doctor was hopeful would happen. Second, Baby Campbell is still a girl! And third, Baby Campbell weighs 3 pounds and 7 ounces - she's in the 70th percentile for a 29 week gestation baby! She's a chunk!!
Unfortunantely, she was balled up tight with her face smashed into the wall of the uterus, so we didn't get any good pictures - that's typical, so I wasn't disappointed at all... especially considering all the great news we got!
This picture is the clearest one, and the only thing that's really clear is her nose. She has the same nose as Princess Cassidy.
Other news - we have a C-Section date! The surgery will be on June 16th at Noon. I'm not posting the hospital name for security purposes, but family and friends will know where to look for us (it's the same hospital where Cassidy was born).
