The Date!!!

Sean and I will be checking into Hotel Spectrum 8:30 PM Thursday, October 25! My prediction is that the young lady will make her appearance the afternoon of the 26th.

Everything else is going fine...just waiting...and waiting...

At this rate she'll come just a few days before her due date, which is great by me. I had been hoping they'd decide to do it yet this week, but the 25th is great. This gives Sean's jobs enough time to plan and grandparents have the weekend off....perfect!!!

Some of what we saw tonight...

And the young man toasting his second cousin...

Congratulations from your cousins in GR....wish we could be there with you guys!!!

Latest Ultrasound

Grandma R was right....Linnea's got a lot of hair! I couldn't believe how well you can actually see it in the ultrasound! They think she's 7 1/2 lbs now, but I understand that they can be off by as much as a pound or two sometimes.

Nothing really new to report....the induction isn't going to be scheduled until Monday the 15th. Mom is going with me to this appointment, as Sean is working 2 jobs now and keeping VERY busy. I need someone with me to ask all the important questions I forget!

News!

I'm going to be induced in two weeks!!! No date yet, hopefully I'll have it to post tomorrow with ultrasound pictures.

Feeling....excited, relief....and nervous!!!:)

Baby Bumps

Cousins at the baby shower today in Lansing.

Good This Week

Nothing new at my appointments today. The non-stress test went well and no changes at my ob appointment! Yippee!!!

I think tomorrow will start my official....ish count down to baby. (36 weeks tomorrow) So....28-ish days until Linnea's here!

Mom thinks/wants her to arrive Friday, November 2, so that she'll have all weekend off (and maybe labor will last that long...I figure I have to prepare myself for all possibilities)...(but I have heard short labor is hereditary...thanks, Mom!)

I think she's going to come really close to her due date, October 30...or maybe it'll happen on the 31st, just because I DIDN't want her to have a holiday b-day, but again, I've prepared myself for that possibility.

I am a little concerned about my weight gain....after faithfully gaining 3 pounds a month since the 4 or 5 month...I've gained FOUR in two weeks. Doc said give it another week before getting concerned about it (ultrasound is next week Tuesday, plus a short one this Thursday to check amniotic fluid....maybe I can convince the tech to take 3 tiny little measurements to see how big she is!) But the way I see it...either option is not good...I'VE gained 4 pounds or SHE'S up to 9 pounds! (Or I guess it could be both of us gaining:)

Oh, well. What would I do if I didn't worry about something new each week? Ummm....labor?...delivery? Oh, man....
