9 Months...I made it!

Well, here is the final of my monthly pregnancy pictures. I wasn't sure if I would make it but I guess our baby wanted me to have a nine-month picture to add to the memory box! I am posting this six days before my due date and feeling great. I thought for sure that I would be a mom by now (I would like to thank all the people that told me I would definitely have the baby early. I appreciate you getting my hopes up!) but apparently having a small frame doesn't determine how long you carry a baby for! While waiting for the baby, I have been able to get a lot of things done around the house. I cleaned out my recipe box, filled in Diamond's Dog Record Book (I figured that would be pushed far aside once we have a baby book to complete!), and Bryan and I have done some decorating around the house that we could have done for the past year but decided that doing it days before our baby comes was a more opportune time (is that considered "nesting"?). I am looking forward to meeting this baby that I have carried for the last 39 weeks. I am most excited to see what he/she looks like (I'm hoping for curly blonde hair and hazel eyes!).

Hopefully it's not too much longer until we meet this child (that I have taken to calling "Squirmy", due to the fact that he/she is always moving around in my belly!). We are praying for a safe, natural delivery with no complications. Now all we can do is wait...

oh I hear you sister...I had the emergency hospital bag packed for months awaiting that exciting rush trip because "the baby's here!" I didn't get it - didn't even come close. I went 8 days past my due date, yep that's right 41 weeks. I got to make an appointment to go to the hospital on a night when they had plenty of rooms available and schedule my delivery. After 24 hours of nothing but discomfort the doc came in my room at 1:00 am and scheduled me for a c-section. I was nervous but it went great I had more problems with the bandages than the incision. Next time I am asking for staples...fun huh!

Good Luck...I can't wait!
