Almost Time

I decided to start a blog as a way to share pictures and updates on our soon to be here little one. I thought I better get things up and going now, before the baby's here, and I have a lot less time on my hands. I would have liked to start this sooner, but with our super slow dial-up connection, I haven't been looking forward to it. Needless to say, I'm at my mom's right now (she has high speed internet), and that's probably the only place I'll blog from for my sanity's sake. My goal is to get a new post on here every week once the baby arrives, but we'll see if I stick to that when I could be napping instead.




I can hardly believe it, but my due date is this Thursday! I tried to talk the baby into coming this weekend because my doctor was on call (he shares call with 3 other docs), but it doesn't look promising since it's 7pm Sunday evening. Looks like we have a stubborn one on our hands :) I know that the baby will come when he/she is ready. I'm trying not to be impatient, but it's tough. Things are getting pretty uncomfortable and I want to meet our baby so bad and find out if we have a son or daughter too.



I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm anxious to find out if I'm dilated at all. I've been having contractions like crazy. It's not very unusual since I've had them every day since the start of my 3rd trimester, but they seem to be more frequent and they're more uncomfortable than before. Hopefully they're doing something.

I thought I would post some pictures from ultrasounds and maternity photos. The first ultrasound picture was done at 20 weeks. The 3D ultrasound was done at 31 weeks. It was so cool! We were having an ultrasound done to make sure everything was ok with the baby because I was having problems with contractions. The technician pulled out the 3D wand and did a video and everything for free!
The photos of Sam and I were taken by my Mom at 33 weeks. Be warned that there will be some bare belly pictures, so if that creeps you out, you might not want to scroll down.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.
