Any day now...

I should pop any day now... But this child hasn't budged and I swear I will end up with an April Baby! I refuse to post any pictures of me incredibly pregnant. My face is as rounds as a melon! Chad and I were joking last night about ways to bring on labor. Forget spicy food, or marthon walking, our favorites are jumping on a trampoline, or using a plunger!

The best part - The Nursery

The best part about the last trimester of pregnancy has to be putting the nursery together. Above is a picture of the crib and the bedding. Chad and I went to Dallas yesterday to pick it up and Mike and Mary helped Chad put it together in the newly painted guest bedroom/nursery. I still have little things to do in there like hang the quilt and pictures, fix the curtain tie-backs and general nesting things, but I still have some time. I am sure it will be perfect when it's all done. I'l post more pictures when it is complete.

Belly shot

A few people have requested pictures of me fat. Gee thanks. I decided to put this one belly shot from Christmas Eve 2006 up on the site. I was 27 weeks or a little more then 6 months along. The suit jacket I wore over the shell hid my fat nicely ;)

Sonogram

We had the "big" sonogram today and found out that we are having a boy! We haven't come up with names yet, but we have 19 more weeks to hash that out. We have decided not to publicize the name until after the baby arrives. That way no one can make funny faces or comments and try to talk us out of a name we've committed to. Let's just call him Harry Potter for now.

Looking less like an Alien

I had another doctor's appointment today. This on included a long ultrasound for measurements used to screen for genetic birthdefects. She said everything looked good and those results will be in sometime next week. This ultrasound showed what looked more like a baby and not an alien or bean shape. The baby was jumping around like crazy in there although it is still too early for me to feel the movement. It looks like I am instore for an active child ;). The ultrasound tech was not 100% sure on the gender so she is holding out until the 20 week ultrasound in early November.
