Okay, bout to pop!! Nothing too exciting to report, due next Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the calculation you use. I am feeling great, getting lots of rest and finishing up tasks around the house, stuff I have been putting off for years! My midwife says the baby is about 7.5 lbs and should be about 8 when s/he comes out to play. Janis and I are both feeling ready and getting really excited for our new playmate. Thanks again to you all for the amazing support and encouragement you have given us along the way. Thanks so much to my mom and sister who have given lots of hand-me-downs and new baby gear to get us ready, we are feeling very gear prepared!! Janis and I will try to send out a note to everyone, via email, text, or maybe here when the big event is underway. I hear that Janis will be sending out a picture on Facebook once we have the little one in hand. Love you all!!!
So, you may be asking yourself why these pictures are always so cheesy?? Janis and I have a little difference of opinion on me looking at the camera and smiling. I don't have a great need for my mug to be in the pictures, but Janis seems to think it should. So we end up getting a lot of really bad pictures of me half looking at the camera and then a few terrible ones that seem really staged, see picture 1 here. Sorry, its all we can manage!! It is a constant struggle every time until I cave and smile at the camera....really excited to have the little one at center stage real soon!
