DUE IN SIX DAYS! OH BOY!!

The bags are packed and every morning we wake up and say, "today could be the day!" I feel great. I am a little uncomfortable sleeping so I am catching myself a little tired duirng the day. Everyone says it's just practice for when he arrives. Lee spent three days at the beginning of last week in the Keys at Sea Camp with his students. He drove separate just in case. Before he left, he had direct orders for BP not to come until Daddy came home. He kept his phone with him 24-7, except of course, when he was snorkeling. This morning we walked about three miles, went to a movie, and took in some sun at the pool. We are getting anxious, nervous, excited and every other emotion one would expect. I'm still working and coaching. In fact, the first boys volleyball game is Tuesday. I think it's good I'm staying busy. We will keep everyone updated!

Lee got very creative with the camera. This was my favorite pose from our neighbor Emily's pregnancy photo shoot! We can't wait to meet our baby boy!


39 Weeks! 6 Days until my due date!!!

A look back at what I thought was a baby bump at 3 months! Haha! I almost forgot that I really do have ankles!

Mr. Peterson's Surprise Shower

Lee's students threw him an awesome surprise shower. They were so excited and he was very surprised! The students brought in their favorite childhood book for our baby's library. What a cute idea! A few of the students read their book aloud. They also entered a baby pool, chosing the date of BP's arrival as well as his height and weight! We received a travel system (stroller and car seat) as well as a generous gift card and some cute baby clothes. Thank you so much to everybody that helped pull off the surprise! We appreciate your thoughtfulness! (FYI: Go Dog Go, pictured below, was my favorite childhood book!)

LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!

I had my weekly check-up today and first internal exam. I am 1 cm dialated, right on track, according to the Dr. I also had a sonogram to see where BP is positioned. His head is down and Lee says he can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Here's our baby boy! It was kind of hard to get a good picture because his face was smashed against my uterus (poor thing) but look at that face! Surreal! The technician said he had quite a bit of hair. Lee's jealous! We can't wait to meet him.... still working on that name!

Here is the first ultrasound pictures we received. What a difference!

37 Weeks

3 weeks to go! The nerve pain has been gone now for a couple of weeks. I have a lot of swelling in my feet and legs but I still feel great! It's certainly getting harder to manuever.

"The Nursery"

Our once "makeshift" nursery has come to life. We may not have a crib yet but I think we have everything else we need. I have been on spring break this week so I was able to do some "nesting." The frames are awaiting pictures of the baby.
