Sometimes I wish we had some sort of an idea of when our little guy is going to greet us...like a specific induction date or a c-section date. Then, I snap back into reality and thank the Lord that there is no need for me to have a c-section. However, this waiting is killing me! It's not that I want him to come today, or tomorrow - but not knowing when it's going to happen is a little nerve wracking! Officially, we're 28 days to d day.
Jonathon and I are just about done with our baby shopping. We took a trip to Sam's Club where we can buy a little over 3lbs of baby formula at a time. My parents gifted the baby's play yard to us (which we still need to order this weekend) and we have more clothes than I know what to do with. Thank you to everyone who has been so generous - you all are such a blessing in our lives!
The doctor told me today that I'm still measuring small -so it's official...no 8lb babies here! She told me that in about 2 weeks if we're 1cm dilated then she'll strip the membranes making labor come easier...and may come sooner! Wow! It's a lot to wrap your head around. We're getting excited, but Jonathon has informed me that he won't be getting nervous until I go into labor. Jonathon works on my actual due date, and my mom comes into town 2 days after - I'm not sure when a good time will be - but I'm sure our little guy will figure it out!
Our cats are having a hard time already with the changes - Hope, our little kitty - likes to take naps in the baby's boucer and Meiko - our baby kitty - refuses to realize that I can't have a 10lb cat laying on my stomach. They are so spoiled I am hoping they do ok with having our Baby J around.
In other news, Jonathon has officially made his fantasy football picks. We went to his friends house for the draft and ate pizza - just hung out. He also has training coming up as well as keeping up with his own football practices. He's a very busy guy, which is great for him. He doesn't do well as a sitting duck. I'm actually worried about his 10 days of paternity leave - he won't know what to do with that much time off. I may send him back to work! Having an active spouce is great though - I know he'll always be on top of things! He has been feeling Baby J move more and he's excited to put the play yard togther. He's really coming into the world of fatherhood well, I'm so proud of him and extremely blessed to have him. I'm looking forward to seeing him with J and watching their bond grow.
That's about it on our end! We hope everyone is doing great and know that we miss all of you SO much!
