Last update.... only 2 more days to go!

Our last OB appointment was this past Friday, the 9th. We are in the countdown. According to the quick ultrasound Dr. Deed conducted she is weighing 6.1 lbs and is going to have long legs... that is the second time we have heard that and we don't have a clue where that might come from in our families.

I have started to dilate and go through the process of very early labor. It threw me off a little because i had this crazy notion that I wouldn't feel any of this because of the scheduled c-section.

Well, low and behold on Friday Stephen & I got to experience a tiny bit of the labor & delivery process. Dr. Deed sent me over to monitor the baby, for everyone's piece of mind, for a bit b/c she had not moved much that day and Deed just had a hunch. Everything was normal and her heart rate was great. It was fun to be able to be admitted and released within 30 min... and get to "stay" in a labor & delivery room.



We spent most of the weekend cleaning the house and spending time together. It was weird to think this was our last weekend as just the two of us... life will never be the same... even when she is married with kids of her own - home will always be home and she will always be welcome... even if her daddy insists on "the warning" phone call. Ha!



In case you are wondering she finally has a first name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



STELLA ............. it is!



Yeah!



A good friend of mine, Courtney, made this awesome wreath for us to hang on our hospital door for visitors. It is so cute, i love it!!





The next time I will be posting, Stephen & I will officially be parents and we will have wonderful pictures to show of our beautiful Stella. We are getting very excited and can't wait for everyone to meet her!
