Due Date

It was hard to believe that yesterday was my actual due date.  What a joy it was being able to spend this thanksgiving with a little boy in my arms, with family and not still pregnant. I'm pretty sure I still would have been big if I wouldn't have been induced and then Gideon would have been over 9lbs. I am so thankful that he is here safe and healthy. Thank you Lord for blessing us yet again with things that we do not deserve.

39 weeks

I went to the doctor at 39 weeks she said everything was going well but I was really ready to be done.  I had a lot of emotions going on and just wanted Gideon to be here and know that everything was going to be ok. I asked if I could be induced early so I waited for Halle to talk to the doctor to see if I would be allowed to go.  She came back and told me that they could induce the next day (Fri 18th) I told her I would love that but Josh told me no because he was really busy at work and couldn't miss so she was able to work it out that we could go on Sat (19th).  I was really excited!! It even worked out that the doctor that delivered Calvin was on call for that day!!  Here is the last belly picture we got to take!

36 weeks

I have been feeling as good as I can I think...I have been going to the chiropractor every week and it seems to be helping a little. I feel more anxious about Gideon's arrival then I remember being with Canaan. I'm just excited to meet this little guy!

I had an appointment today(I'm now 37 weeks) and the doctor wasn't really sure if he was head down(yes we went through this last year) so I ended up getting an ultrasound! Everything is GOOD!!! He is head down and ready to go, but I now hope that we won't want to stay in there forever.

31 weeks

excuse the p.j. pants...I told Josh not to get them in the picture!  Hard to believe that we only have 9 more weeks to go. I feel like we just found out we were pregnant.  I am starting to feel ready to meet this little guy. I have had a lot more pain with this pregnancy then with the others. The other night I had a lot of braxton hicks it was making me a little nervous. I have never had so many before.

I feel like I am running out of time to get everything done. I still need to paint the room and get a few things to finish it off. I need to wash all the clothes and get them all put away. It is crazy how much I want to do but my body just won't let me.

24 weeks

Yes 24 weeks already. I feel bad for Gideon already because we have just taken our first picture of this pregnancy. We were so good with taking one every week with Canaan. I guess that's what happens when you are taking care of a little one.
