39 weeks and counting...





Watch out, world! Here comes a big one!

We are officially having a LARGE baby next week. The sonogram today showed that she weighs a whopping 9lbs, 13oz at this point. Due to her size, I will be having a C section next Thursday afternoon. The sonographer was able to point out her fat already (a gray shaded area) and we do know that she has lots of hair (think toupee). That's what the heartburn is all about!!

Mum and I have been walking every day in an attempt to make her arrive...to no avail. She is apparently content to be squashed in there, and is participating in a "who can stay in the womb the longest" competition. The picture of Mum and I is taken in her room....Mum made the curtains for her and we love them. We have also done some major spring cleaning around here.

Darrin is quite nervous and has been pacing up and down lately. He has already installed the car seat, with ease. Sleep is scarce around here for me and I have been trying to prepare Darrin by waking him up throughout the night. He is so appreciative! It is amazing for us to imagine she will be here in less than a week!
Both sets of grandparents should be visiting within the next 3 weeks...we are so lucky! We look forward to lots of spoiling, for her and us (like Abaco bread and crawfish)! So, the next time we update this blog, we will have a little sunshine to share with you. YAY!!
