3 days until due date

We are getting close! We have been going to the doctor every week for 3 or 4 weeks now, and every time the doctor has told us we are have not progressed at all :( My neighbor -Sarah- who was due Jan 10 had her baby last week! And I have not even come close!

My baby is just really comfortable in there, so I have been poking her!

We had our last doctor's appointment on Christmas Eve. I crossed my fingers and said a little prayer... and when the doctor told me I am almost a cm dialate you would have thought she told us to pack our bags. I was just relieved to know that my body does actually realize it is going to have to birth a baby soon!

So, we have a scheduled induction on January 4, unless she comes before that on her own (which would be ideal.) YES, then we will pick a name!

Faith

This little one is not going to know what to do when she is not the center of attention.

Pepper

Brandon got me an amazing new camera for Christmas! So I am testing it on the dogs so I know what to do when the baby comes!

33 weeks

That is one big baby!

Brandon took this picture of me last night and it really freaked me out. I felt big, but I had no idea that it was such a large pointy belly!

I asked him if it really was that big in person, hoping the picture was lying... but he said "yes. It is like a torpedo."

We have 6 weeks until our due date.

Over Thanksgiving I plan on enlisting my mom and Gen to help me make some decisions about the baby room. I really want to have it all complete by the end of Thanksgiving week. We are ready to meet this little no-name baby!

30 weeks!

I am huge.

The doctor says she will induce me on Jan 4 if the baby has not come on her own yet.

I am for sure growing a little dancer.... this little girl moves all day long. My students can even see her moving my stomach around. She is a little alien child :)

My wonderful friends threw me a baby shower two weeks ago, and my mother in law and sister in law had a wonderful shower the week before that in Richmond. Getting all that baby gear really made me feel like a baby is actually on the way. I felt so overwhelmed by how blessed we are to have loving friends and family after the showers. We are almost completely ready for little baby white. Well, we have most the stuff it is just not put together yet. Brandon put together the crib and the day bed last night. I am hoping to get everything ready over Thanksgiving break. We shall see though!

Fabric for the room

This is all the different fabrics we are using for the bedding, pillows and day bed bedskirt. My grandmother is making a beautiful quilt for our little baby girl. It is so beautiful!

The pink is like a coral pink.

Week 26

Apparently my tummy has moved up and my back is beginning to arch a lot.

I let Faith be in this picture since she looks jealous in the other picture. She needs a lot of attention lately.

Most of you know now that we did end up finding out that the baby is a girl. I am still not sure that she will come out that way, but the doc said we will have another sono at 36 weeks and that should confirm it. So, we are working on the baby room... but I am not washing all the girls clothes just yet. She already has more clothes than she will know what to do with, or I guess more than I will know what to do with. It is hard to find clothes that are not completely pink, you can still be very girlie without everything being pink, but apparently clothes makers do not agree.

My grandmother is making me a fabulous quilt for the baby room, Ill put up a picture of the fabric we are using in a little while. We are keeping the walls a warm buttery coco type color, and the furniture will be med-dark wood. My wonderful friend Genevieve is letting us borrow her day bed that way we can keep the room a guest bedroom and a baby room, which is the most awesome blessing ever! Brandon and I are ready to meet this spunky little baby!
