One more thing....

My cousin Paul sent out an email this morning saying he is waiting on my last blog to put in his Baby pool bet. It reminded me that I didn't really post about the last couple of ultrasounds I have had. We had one 3 weeks ago and got a great profile picture of the baby. It wasn't 3-D but with the baby being so big it was a really close pic of the face. Well, Scott swears the Baby's profile resembles his. Although I think they were very similar I told him not to put all his faith in that one picture. Then two weeks later we had another ultrasound that my Dad, Patti and Randi came too. I think they really enjoyed it and of course had some comments. My Dad said he is sticking with Boy and yes unfortunately looks to resemble Scott a little...ha! Patti said a face that pretty has to be a girl and Randi said she is now thinking girl. I personally think it's hard to determine the sex by looking a picture of the Baby's face on an ultrasound. That's just my opinion. So, there you go Paul Fitte that's your last clue!

Oh and we are going to have a special visitor in the delivery room. Farrah (Paul's) wife works in labor and delivery at East Jefferson. Although she is off that day, she is coming in just to be in the delivery room with us. It will be great to have her there and I know I will take comfort in her being with us. Thanks Farrah!!!

Getting Closer!

The Last Stretch......Well this is it, I am 37 weeks and time is closing in on us. Soon we will be parents. Well actually in a week and a half we will be, unless the Baby decides to come earlier. If you don't already know I am scheduled for a C-Section on August 3rd. The baby has decided to keep it's head up by my ribs and not get into the position it's suppose to be in. Maybe Stubborn already! I went to the doctor today, everything was good and I am not dilated at all. Oh and the heart rate was 135 this time. It's been in the 150-160 range but now is playing tricks on us.
Dr. Kennedy commented well it's pretty laid back today. I was thinking today, it's laid back everyday. Just like it's Daddy! So, what are we thinking at this point??? We are talking about what's the Baby's going to look like, how big, if it will have hair and of course what is the sex! I told Scott before I go in I feel like I will be able to say this is what I think the gender will be.
I feel like my instincts will be in high gear....maybe! I am hoping the Baby will somewhat resemble me. All the babies these days look so much like the Dad's. If I carried it for over 9 months I want it to have something of mine. We are getting a little nervous, just about being new parents and all the responsibility. I am not really nervous about the delivery, yet. If my water broke tonight we would be happy, now that I am so close and know that I need a C-Section, I just wish it would happen.
Well until then, I guess I will enjoy my last moments of freedom. I would say I will enjoy all my sleep but honestly the past two months I haven't slept that great. Also, if you are wondering about names we have a couple for each sex. For a Boy we have Gavin and Blake. For a Girl we have Blair and Elissa. We hope everyone can be there to share in this special experience with Scott and I. If you can't we will email pictures as soon as we can.
