Nursery Pics!

Well the Nursery is finally done! We have uploaded pics  on to Addison's webpage in the albums area. Check them out! we are 35 weeks and 2 days today! :) Getting close! 

Once a Week

Well we are down to going to the Dr. Once a week now... we are 35 weeks, meaning next Saturday we will be full term 36 weeks (that means we are 9 months, and Addison is fully grown). If Kate were to go into Labor now unless something is wrong, they won't stop her from delivering.

It's crazy, Kate is already starting to show signs of getting ready for labor. Her contractions have been getting more regular, and intense. She has been in "nesting mode" for the past 3 days, cleaning EVERYTHING in site. If you ask me, i think Addison will be here in the next couple of weeks. (I'm estimating the 7th or 8th) But we will see!!!

The Nursery is 99% done. We just have to get a few things for the walls, but the major stuff is done! We will be posting pictures next week. Things are so exciting. its coming, and we are finally reaching the end. We can't wait till our little girl is here! 

Nursery...Check!

Well the Nursery is FINALLY done! After all last weekend and then off and on through the week the nursery is finally painted and the shelves are hung. There is still a lot of little touches Kate is going to make, but the BIG stuff is all done! (Painting, Trimming, setting up shelves, curtain's, etc...)

The time is getting closer and closer. We are at 59 days and counting now... only 4 more weeks before she is full term. And 8 more weeks till we are 40 weeks :) Time is flying, and soon our little girl will be here :) It's hard to believe its almost been 9 months. It seems like just yesterday Kate was waking me up to tell me we were pregnant and going to have a baby. It's been hard at times, ESPECIALLY for poor Kate. She is a real trooper. I know she hurts and is uncomfortable, but she just push's through. Her excitement always shines through. 

We are getting ready, and the countdown is on! :)

Labor and Delivery Again....

Well today we had another false labor scare... Kate started having contractions all last night, and then during church we had to leave because they got so bad. We called the Midwife and they said to relax and drink lots of water (we are sitting here thinking duh...) so Kate just relaxed and I took care of her. They eased off but didn't stop. By 6:30pm we finally were told to go to Labor and Delivery... After an hour and the nurse getting personal with Kate they sent us home and said everything is fine and to rest. The amazing thing was that next to us a husband and wife around our age came in... She was due in two days, but was contracting and dialted 2 cm, they were getting ready to bring their little one into the world.

It made me think that our time for that moment was coming and will be here soon. Sooner than we realize. It's right around the corner and before we know it our little girl will be here. While I'm scared for Kate and that day and what she will have to go through, on the same thought I can't wait for that day. I am so excited to be in that moment knowing our little girl is on her way.

Down to Every Two Weeks

So we are at the point of visiting the Doctor every two weeks now. Time seemed to drag before, because of the distance between each Dr. Visit, but now... Every two weeks is making it feel even closer. Mom and Dad are starting to get things for the Nursery and its really coming along. Mommy’s Baby Shower is next Sunday and she is so excited. She can’t wait to see all her friends and celebrate me with them! I am 29 weeks and 3 days today. In less than 90 Days I will be here! :)

Seeing the Kicks

Well I have officially gotten big enough for Mom and Dad to see when I kick. When I start kicking Mom and dad watch Mom’s stomach closely and can now see a twitch. It almost looks like Mom’s stomach is spazzing, but its not. It’s me kicking away. I do it quite frequently now, more some at night than Mom would like, but she loves to feel me kick around. I am getting bigger and bigger. Grandpa couldn’t believe how big Mommy’s Belly had gotten in the week since we had seen them. I am 24 weeks now. 110 Days to go! :)

Trip to Labor and Delivery

Well tonight we got to take a trip to the Labor and Delivery area of the hospital. Mommy had been having contractions since Friday and they started to get closer and weren’t stopping. So Mom and Dad wanted to make sure everything was OK. After getting all hooked up to the monitors and sitting for hours, they decided that nothing was wrong and it was merely me giving Mom false labor pains. I am getting very strong and showed the Dr.’s that last night. Everything is great, and Mom and Dad were relieved to know. They were excited to be able to see the place were i will be born though, and look forward to coming back in Oct. to bring me into the world! I am 24 weeks today
