Due Date

Today you had officially reached full term of 40 weeks of growing in my tummy. I went to the doctor's today and found that you are breech. You are just going to be a little stinker from the beginning aren't you?! Your butt is where your head should be and so I cannot deliver you that way. On Friday, I will be going to the hospital to see if the doctor can turn you around to the correct position. But if you just refuse to move then I will probably have a c-section next Tuesday. So it won't be long before I get to hear your first cry and get to hold you. I can't wait, I am very excited to meet you! See you soon!

21 days and counting

It won't be long now before we get to meet you! I am officially in the "safe" zone for delivering you! You should be all developed and ready to come into this world and meet all of us. So I am just counting down the days now, hopefully only three weeks or less until you arrive! Here is a picture of me as of now.

Your Room

I didn't have to do much to get your room ready. Your brother Sam was still in the crib, so really I just had to move him into his new room. I change the theme around to a jungle animal theme and painted the trim a darker color. Daddy brought all the baby stuff up from downstairs... wow, you really need a lot of stuff for being such a little person! So, your room is complete and now we are almost ready for you to make your appearance! I say almost because, well it's too early for you to come yet, and because I still have to get clothes washed and ready for you yet. The swing and car seat and other stuff need to be cleaned up from being the basement for two years. And there are some minor touch ups I need to do. I almost forget, I need to put the stroller together. Oh, it's never ending....
Hope you like your room!

View From the Outside

Hello there little one! You sure have made my belly pop out within the last ten weeks! Here is what it looks like from the outside right now. Hope you are nice and cozy inside there, but not too cozy, you only have two months left until you meet us!

Another Peek

I had another ultra sound today. The doctor wanted to re-check some things she didn't like from the last ultra sound I had. Your daddy went with my this time so that he could take a little peek at you too. The ultra sound tech reassured us that everything is looking perfect and right within the normal ranges. So that was great news! It was so nice to see you again. You really have become more active lately and we could see you moving all over on the video screen. Still no peeking on whether you are a boy or girl (and I really don't have a feeling one way or the other). I was really happy that I got to take another sneak peek at you!

Halfway There!

Wow, you have reached the halfway point of growing in my tummy! I can't believe how fast that went by, now I just hope that the next 4.5 months goes by just as fast, because I cannot wait to meet you! I can feel you move around all the time now. You move a lot, just like your brother did (maybe it's all the candy that I like to eat!). Here is a picture of what it looks like outside of my tummy right now.

A little hello

I got to see you again today! You certainly have grown since the last time I saw you about six weeks ago. Your Aunt Becky and Aunt Jeanette also came to the doctor's with me so that they could see you too. They thought it was pretty neat that they could so much of you, like your heart beating and you moving around. And even though everyone else wants to know if you are a boy or girl, we still didn't find out. Just another 5 months or so until we meet you and find out!

Update...

Just a little update. I went to the doctor's today for another check-up. The doctor said that everything was looking perfect and on schedule. I got to hear your heartbeat again which was nice and strong again. I love being able to hear your heartbeat, especially until I can feel you moving around. It is just a very reassuring sound. I get to see you again on in about a month and I can't wait!!!

A little peek...

Today I went to the hospital for an ultra sound and got to peek inside my tummy and see you! I couldn't believe how much you have developed already! You were waving your little arms and hands and moving your little legs. The technician wanted you to move a certain way and you just refused! You were happy and cozy in your little spot and you were just not going to move! It was amazing to see you and see that you looked so perfect already. I should be able to get another peek at you in two months. By then I should be able to feel you moving around in my tummy and I can't wait for those first flutters!

Whoosh, Whoosh

Today I got to hear your heartbeat for the first time. The doctor said she wasn't sure if she would be able to pick it up, but she found it right away and it was so strong. It was just the sweetest sound, just knowing that this little life inside me already has a big strong heart just beating away. So thank you for sending your little "hi" to me today.
