Baby Julia Grace

Ok One More

Chester made sure to keep a watchful eye on her all night, he loves her so much! So does Abby they can't kiss her enough.

To Be Continued...

I jumped on here to post a few new pictures to hold everyone over until I get a chance to download all the photo's that Jackie and I have. The first picture is Julia just after her first bath all dolled up, the next is her sunbathing she has to be in the sun for a minimum of 10 minutes a day to help with her jaundice. The third is getting ready for bed last night. I will have a lot more coming please be patient with me. I have to get them all in order so I can tell the story right.

Last Meal?

I figured since I am getting so close to having the baby that I better eat something good, besides clear liquid and ice chips! Jared had duty last night and thank God I didn't go into labor because he is an hour away. It was almost like the calm before the storm, I slept better than I have in a few months and I feel really good this morning. Maybe it is my body getting me ready... So I ordered some pizza, pretzels and bruschetta from Mellow Mushroom. I only ate about a quarter of the food, but it was so good. 2 more days at home of waiting and then off to the hospital, we will see how that all goes down.

Doctor's Appointment

Well we had to have another ultrasound done because for some reason my belly measurement has not changed in 3 weeks, the doctor was concerned that my fluid level might be low or that she wasn't growing like she should. So in some of the pictures she may look like her head is being smashed, that is because her head is all the way down in my birth canal just sitting there. I think that in the non 4-D she looks a bit like a sea monkey. She for sure has Jared's nose!!!! All the lady kept saying was how cute she was and how she had her Daddy's nose. Well the good news is that she is doing good, fluids are great and she is just going to be a little baby. The tech guessed 6lbs 14oz, she said that it could differ a pound or so but she thinks maybe low 7's. We went back to the doctor's office and she wanted to induce me today just to be safe... I said well my Mother-in-law comes on Sunday and Jared has duty today!!! We are giving her till Sunday evening to show herself and they will probably be inducing me that night. We will have a baby by Monday... I will keep everyone posted!

Please pray for me, I am really hoping to avoid being induced I really want her to come when she is ready.

OK Seriously!

We decided that we needed to rearrange the bedroom so that the temporary crib for the baby would fit in our room. Jared took everything out and we vacuumed like crazy, wiped everything down and steam cleaned the carpet. Guess that means we are ready to go!
I am pretty sure that my belly is at it's max capacity so we need to get this show on the road! I have resorted to wearing Jared's t-shirts and they are even snug in the midsection... Still have my fingers crossed for my guess the 15th! Don't really think that is going to happen though.

Kitchen Table...Maybe The Last Project Before Baby

Here is the cedar table that Jared put together today, he is having trouble deciding if he wants to make the legs detachable or not. As long as it fits through the door I am down with either. I will keep you posted...
