Ok, ok, so maybe not quite yet. But it's getting so close we can taste it! Matt and I went to the Doctor today for our 37 week visit. I love the doc visits cause it is one more thing to look forward to and check off the list of things that are happening before Michaela comes. Today was a good visit. I am already 1 cm dilated!! Woo hoo!! For those of you who have had kids before, you may be thinking; "That is not very exciting. You can be 1 cm dilated for a month before the baby actually comes." And that is true. BUT, I have never had a baby before and the fact that my body is progressing through the natural stages on its own is so exciting to me! And the doc said that Miki is definitely sitting head down which takes a weight off of my mind. My best friend just had to have a c-section cause her baby was sitting breech so I am very relieved and I hope the baby stays that way. We are also anticipating a big baby. My belly is measuring 38 inches which is an inch more than the average for 37 weeks. And I was an 8 pounder so the doc says there is a good chance she will be around 8 pounds. I don't care how big or small she is as long as she's healthy. We already know she'll be cute:) Let's start taking bets on hair color, (if she even has hair), eye color, size, length etc etc. I'm thinking she won't have hair, she'll have very pale skin with rosy cheeks like a little cherub, she'll be long cause I was my moms longest baby so definitely over 20 inches, and I'm thinking green or blue eyes. We won't know all of the answers right away of course but we will in a few short months. So, what do you all think?? There is also a good chance she'll have curly hair. Wouldn't that be cute? Oh how I love me some babies! Especially now that we'll have one of our very own.
In other news, I, (Stef), only have 9 more working days until I'm done with my part time job for now. Friday the 7th of May is my last day. I'm getting very excited for a break so I will be able to have tons of family and baby time. We are anxiously anticipating all of the visits that we will be blessed to receive in the next few months. If you wanna come to Nashville, feel free! Matt will be busy with band stuff this summer so I will be hanging out with Michaela and we would love company. We have a nice pool in our apartment complex and a bed in the guest room and a few couches. Just let us know when you want to come and you'll have a place to stay. (Just don't all choose the same days to visit, k?)
Can you tell that I'm just a leetle excited about life right now? We are blessed beyond measure. Signing off for now. Stef
So glad you have decided to do this! I love reading the blogs of my family and friends. See you in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteOh Stef, Having your first baby is the best feeling in the world. Every little thing the doctor tells you is exciting...regardless of how small anyone may think it is. And I'm sure you have been told this a million times, but seriously, enjoy the little nugget while she is tiny, because before you know it, she'll be going off to Kindergarten, begging for one last kiss when it's way past her bedtime, and arguing with you about what clothes to put on. I couldn't be more excited for you, Matt, and the whole family; what an exciting blessing and milestone for you all! Much Love to you Beautiful Lady! Kellie
ReplyDeleteso exciting! i hope everything goes as planned!
ReplyDeleteBetting she'll have soft brown fuzz at first, lose it quickly, and her eyes will be dark at birth but turn blue fairly quickly! Oh, and you were 8 lb. 7 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long, chickadee! So be prepared!
