Less than 6 weeks away!

Here we are less than 6 weeks away from our due date and meeting our son. His room is finished, his sheets are all washed, and our hospital bag is in the process of being packed. All we need now is for him to get ready for life "on the outside." My last appointment was last friday and everything is going perfectly. His head is down and already engaged in my pelvis, he's growing well, and my body is hanging in there despite the aches/pains/odd sensations. Doc even helped me figured out what he is doing in there because sometimes I get this hard, round pushing against a side of my belly. That's him pushing his tushy out! It's great he already has a sense of humor (even if he doesn't realize he's making us laugh). Thad is still reading to him at night and we are trying to expose him to all different kinds of sounds now so that he won't be too alarmed when he arrives.

Last weekend I had another baby shower. This time it was here at my house with my girlfriends plus my mom and Terri. We had a great time! Here are the pictures:

Baby Shower

We have our ultrasound next monday to check and make sure the fibroid won't block the baby from descending. We'll post a new picture of our baby next week.
