Anticipating the Arrival

For those of you that keep an eye on the baby counter on our blog, I thought I'd give you a little update. The date used on our countdown thing is our 'original' due date of June 15, which held up to around our 20 week ultrasound. That, however, dated baby closer to June 27, which is now the due date the doctor is using. So, depending on which one you pick, I either have 8 or 20 days to go.

To top this off, doctor doesn't believe that I will go early or on the due date--he anticipates me being late--possibly into July (that seems impossible, if you catch my drift). Not something you tell a 9-month pregnant woman who is already measuring 40cm at her official 36 week appointment, feels like she's carrying a toddler and not a baby, and who, being pregnant in September and through the entire school year, already feels like she's been pregnant for forever.

So, keep us in your thoughts the next couple of weeks--we're eagerly anticipating the arrival of this little guy, and I'm about done being pregnant. This pregnancy hasn't been the easiest to begin with, and the thought of going almost a month longer than originally anticipated, makes it even more challenging. We keep telling ourselves that it doesn't matter when he comes, as long as he is healthy, but it still is challenging--especially when you're school teachers and July signals half your summer is over already!

Alright...enough whining...but to put it in Violet's words: Baby "Sammy"--it's time to come out! I want to be a big sister!
