First day off of work

Well I (really my midwife) decided that yesterday was to be my last day of work. So today so far I have slept in, went grocery shopping, and took the dogs for a walk with my mom. Today is also Robert's last day at work until after the new year, he is more excited about being off of work than I was! I think that until David arrives this is going to feel like one really long weekend.

Due date!

Well today is David's due date. As I have been predicting he hasn't arrived yet, I'm hoping for sometime this week. I've felt pretty good the last couple of days, so although I'm moving slower I'm not getting too impatient yet.

I think Robert is ready to meet his son and have someone to cheer for the Broncos with (note Baby Brite's diaper).

Just waiting

David will be here sometime in the next three weeks, too bad we can't predict when! I'm still expecting that he will be late, but he has 5 more days to prove me wrong.

My mom will be here on Wed, she is staying for a month and I'm sure will be a great help.

It is snowing like crazy this evening, we have at least 5" and there is no sign of it letting up, we are hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

Full-term :)

I am now officially full-term, which means 37 weeks. That means that I can now deliver at the birth center, earlier than this and I would have had to go to the hospital. So anytime in the next 5 weeks David will be joining us. If I make it to 42 weeks pregnant I will have to go to the hospital to be induced, I'm really hoping to avoid that (for multiple reasons)! I am guessing that I will be a little bit late, but no one can predict, so the waiting game begins....


Sunday Kelly, Mike, Angela and Jessica threw a baby shower for Robert and I. It was great to see everyone, and I ate entirely to many brownies. I'm still impressed that Robert was able to cut a string to within millimeters of the diameter of my belly.

Thanks MIMs!

On 11/15 Liz threw a party for Shana and I to celebrate our upcoming babies. For those that don't know I joined "Moms in Motion" about a year and a half ago, look at this great group of runners!

This is me at 35 weeks! (sorry it took a bit to post)

Shower

On Sunday Jennifer threw a great baby shower for me! A lot of my coworkers were able to come and brought some yummy food. I tied as winner of the game were we had to say which old wives tales predicted boy or girl. I guess David and I are following them pretty well since I based most of my answers on my experience the last few months. Thanks everyone, we love everything that you got us and I had a great time! (I'll post pictures as soon as I get some!)

Otherwise everything is still going well. The midwife says everything looks good. I don't have an appointment this week, but starting next week I will have one every week. Robert was born at 35 weeks, I was born at 42, so who knows when this little boy will be coming.

November already

It's November! That means next month David will be here! I'm due in 6 weeks, but full term is between 37 and 42 weeks, so we expect to meet him anytime between 3 and 8 weeks from now. I started washing David's clothes yesterday, but still have a lot left to do with blankets and diapers, etc.

For Halloween we went to McCall's Pumpkin Patch with Mike and Kelly, they had a haunted barn and corn maze. We had fun, and I discovered I'm not as jumpy as I had anticipated. I was disappointed that the haunted maze was a lot smaller than the daytime maze, so we will have to go back during the day one of these years.
