16 Days!!

Ok so my blogging skills are terrible! I've been majorly slacking on keeping up with this thing! But I have been busy trying to get ready for this baby! So thats a good excuse right?!

Ready or not Baby Shep will be here soon! We have the nursery almost complete. Were just waiting on the changing table/dresser to be finished. And it should be done next week! Hopefully Baby Shep wont decide to come until after the nursery is completed! But we'd be happy to welcome this sweet baby into the world whenever its ready to come! I'm starting to get kind of anxious about knowing whether I've been carrying a boy or a girl. I'm definately super excited about finding out!

Now for the real issue... names! Baby Shep still doesn't have a name. We've pretty much agreed on a girl name, but the boy name is a different story. We just can't decide on anything! So hopefully by the time baby shep decided to make its debut we'll have decided on something!!!!

How Far Along: 2 days shy of 38 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 24 Pounds

Doctors Appointment: At my appointment last tuesday I was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. I've been feeling lots of pressure lately and been having random contractions. She told me it could be any day now! Baby Shep was weighing in at about 6 pounds. She said everything looked really good and how everything was last week with the tumor she thought I'd probably be ok to deliver naturally instead of having a C-section! So I was definately happy about that! I go back tomorrow for another check to see how things are progressing.

How We're Changing: A week or so ago I felt like there was no way I could possible get any bigger... Well.. I have. My belly just keeps growing! I havent found any stretch marks yet thank goodness... but I'm still growing so we'll see. I have no belly button anymore. In the beginning it poked out, and now its just flat. I don't know how it will ever look normal again! Baby Shep is still wild and moves a ton. I don't know when this kid sleeps... I think it must just take little power naps because day and night it it very active! I am definately excited to meet our sweet baby :)
