Yikes!

I realize it's been quite some time since I've updated, well over 2 months, but thankfully there hasn't been much to say as far as Chiari goes.  Up until a week or two ago I was starting to actually feel like I'd never had surgery. That slightly stiff feeling that felt like it would never go away was fading and all of the swelling has diminished leaving me with a weird sunken in area where my skull used to be, but it feels fine!  Over the last week or two, I think because of the advanced stages of my pregnancy, I've started to feel a little stiff again, but not painful, and not anything that's kept me from going about daily activities anymore than the pregnancy does. I can't believe it's been months since I've been to Durham for an appointment!  Last we spoke my Neuro team said the next time they'd like to see me is about 6 weeks after giving birth to see how everything is adjusting to the changes in my body yet again.
The main thing consuming us these days is the fact that in exactly one week, Kevin and I will be parents of two!  I can't believe we're having another baby, even though we've had 38 weeks (or so) to get ready!  I think we're about as ready as we can be; Logan is excited, asking everyday if his sister is ready yet :)  My Mom will be here on Thursday to stay with him while we're in the hospital, I don't know what we would do if she couldn't be here for us! 
I'll be sure to post another update as soon as I'm able once Carley is here.  As always, thanks to everyone who has thought of us and kept us in your prayers :)
