Now this was a surprise...

I had a doctor's appointment this morning (I am just over 37 weeks).  I haven't had any real notable "symptoms" lately, so the doctor gave me the option of whether or not I wanted her to check my cervix.  She didn't feel it was really necessary at this point.  With Lance being out of town next week (he has two '24-hour' trips leaving Thursday night and Sunday night), I thought it would probably be a good idea just to see where we are at.  I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or the doctor.  She said she could feel the head down pretty low and that I was 3 cm dilated and 80% effaced and that I may not make it to my appointment next week.  Talk about a shocker.  She also said it might be 2 weeks before he's born, but I'm most likely not making it to my due date.  I wasn't sure if it was good news or bad news with Lance being in both Chicago and Nashville in that time frame...I'm still in shock.  I just hope he either comes really soon or waits for Lance to get done with his travels!!

It's FINISHED!

I finally finished the little baby afghan I designed for our new little one. I made it out of super soft bamboo yarn. I think it turned out really well! I guess we're going for the brainwashing method to get him to like our same hobbies ;)

What Happened??

All of a sudden I have burst at the seams!  This baby must be growing out of control (or at least I am!).  Lance took a picture of me last night to document the belly progress and I was shocked how much bigger I've gotten since Christmas.  Here's a visual of how much I've changed:

21 weeks

29 weeks

32 weeks

36 weeks

Yes, the basketball is for real...or that's what everyone says my belly looks like these days.  I didn't know it could be so perfectly round.  I can't believe he/we have another month or so of growing to do!  Where is it going to go??

Thank you Lindbergs!

Here it is...our baby boy's bed for the first 5 months. It was one of the group gifts from the Lindberg shower. We figure we can buy a real crib when we move to wherever we are moving in June! Thanks everyone!

The Lindberg Baby Shower

My sister-in-law, Lisa, hosted an awesome baby shower the day after Christmas while we were in Salt Lake City. It was great to catch up with the Lindberg family since we missed the Lindberg family Christmas party by a few short hours. Thanks to everyone for doing announcements, food, and for coming! I promised to post a picture of the group gift once I purchased it. I have the crib, but am still waiting to pick up the stroller. Thank you all so much!
