I'm now in the 4th trimester. Yeah.
Okay, he's not here yet! But we did receive some promising news this morning from the midwife. Looks like labor is right around the corner! 3-4 cm dilated, 80% effaced and the water bag is bulging. If you don't know what that means, it means we're close. Lots of prayers! Maybe he'll actually be born ON his due date, that would be nice:) Regardless, we've been promised that he'll be here within 72 hours. And we can't wait!
Still nothing. This kid is too stubborn! COME OUT!
So Mike and I won this insane baby bundle at a Christmas Party last week! So happy to have a photo just before baby comes! Thanks Lynn:)
Mommy Update: Holy geez! This kid is never coming out! I understand that his due date is still 1 week away, but I truly feel like he's taken up permanent residence in there and will be applying for college via my uterus. I feel terminally pregnant. Not that I don't love having this little guy kick me all day, but I really just want to see his little face! Honestly, I can't complain, I've been REALLY blessed with an easy pregnancy. I'm still sleeping at night and I'm not that uncomfortable. For the most part, I can still carry on all my normal activities, I just may need a 4 or 5 hour nap at some point in the day. Well, we'll keep you all posted and let you know when this kid makes his debut! Hopefully THIS WEEK! Love you all! Thanks for loves:)
As promised, here's a photo from the Marine Corps Ball a few weeks ago. SO unfair that Cherie is so cute so soon after having Liam!
Mom and dad are going crazy waiting for Dane to arrive!
Daddy Update: Nightly pep talks to the belly but no action yet.
Mommy Update: Mom's BIG. Enough said.
