Soon!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and the doctor told me that the baby is head down and working her way down into position. While nothing is a guarantee, the doctor is pretty sure this baby is coming before her due date. Sounds like she's impatient, just like her Mommy.

Damon and I have already packed our bags, her bag, a bag of snacks and pre-registered with the hospital. Now it's a waiting game. I'd like her to stay in there until at least Saturday, that's when she's considered full term. Damon guessed the 14th, I guessed the 17th, but now I'm inclined to guess an even earlier date... My new guess is the 9th.

We can't wait to meet her. It doesn't matter when she gets here as long as she's healthy and ready.

My next appointment is on Tuesday, we'll see where she's at then. Until then, I'm going to take it easy and rest, taking full advantage of this week off work.

Busy, busy, busy!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last wrote.

Work has been extremely busy and with Thanksgiving in November and Christmas next week, I've been keeping plenty busy.

Last weekend Jackie threw a baby shower for me.  It was perfect.  A champagne brunch with friends and family.  I was completely overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone, near and far... we had gifts shipped for her from California, Massachusetts, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut and Kentucky.  This little girl is already spoiled!

My Mom and the Coulomb girls helped with the food and decor, it was all adorable! Here are a few pictures:

So we're down to 37 days until my due date.  I've already got everything washed and put away that we got at the shower.  Damon has put together the stroller, snap and go, pack-n-play, bouncy seat and swing.  We're going to install the car seat in the coming days (just in case she decides to come early).  I'm also going to pack my bag this weekend. 

We played "guess the due date and weight" at the shower.  The earliest guess was for 12/31, hopefully she hangs in longer than that.  I'm good with anytime after January 7th, but my guess was January 17th, 6lbs 13oz.  Damon thinks she's coming on January 14th (the day before his birthday). 

My next doctor appointment is on Wednesday, so we'll see what they say.

2 weekends ago we did our hospital tour.  It's so strange to think that the next time we go to that hospital, it will be to have the baby. 

A few weekends ago Damon treated me to a "staycation" where he booked a hotel room for us for a night.  We packed bags, checked in, went out to brunch, did some shopping, got massages, went out to dinner, out for drinks (kiddie cocktails for me).  It was such a nice surprise, I owe him one!

More updates to come as the due date gets closer.
