Still waiting

We're still here and still waiting!

My due date is this coming Wednesday, January 3rd. Last week the Doctor said that he would measure the baby this week (Tuesday) and make a decision from there. Either we'll induce, have a C-section, or keep waiting! Yesterday I had contractions for 5 hours, but they were sporadic and they stopped in the evening. That was a little disappointing. That's all the news for now.

38 weeks

We took a few pictures today... hopefully they will be the last! This week is the 38th... we're full term and 2 weeks from our due date. Hopefully he will be early. :)

waiting

We are about 2 1/2 weeks from our due date and we are just waiting. It's fun to be in this waiting stage because we are enjoying things we won't be able to do for a long time, like going to see movies or going shopping spontaneously. It's also a little difficult, mainly because being this pregnant is not so much fun. I can't sleep much longer than 2 hours without having to wake up and roll over to the other side because my hip hurts. But I guess that's all preparation for lack of sleep for the next few months. We are going for lots of walks, and today we raked leaves for several hours... all in an attempt to hurry him along. It doesn't seem to be helping much yet!

That's where we are, though!
Merry Christmas.

A big family

D.'s sister and aunt gave us a baby party with all of D.'s family (and some of mine too). We had a wonderful time, and we were so blessed with gifts for our little boy. We've put all of our gifts in their places and we're ready for when he arrives! I told the doctor yesterday that I thought next week would be good. :) We are trying to enjoy the waiting and live in anticipation. Advent is good to remind us of how important that is.

time with Anna

Sorry I'm a little slow... we have been so busy these last weeks, but yesterday I turned in a 20 page paper on the blues, and just two more to finish! I can't believe this semester is almost over.

We are so blessed to have the cutest niece in the entire world. We got to hang out with her over the Thanksgiving week and we even went to her birthday party! I thought these pictures were so cute, so I wanted to post them.
