Due Date and Still No Baby!

Here we are on our due date and still no baby. I'm still feeling good, no labor pains .. not that I know of anyways. The nursery is completed, her clothes and blankets have been washed, our bags our packed and ready to go .. we are just waiting on her to tell us when! We have another doctors appointment tomorrow, so we'll see what they have to say. Again, they will only let us go 41 weeks which will fall on Memorial Day, so I believe she will be here sometime this week! We cannot wait to meet her .. come on Baby Lash!

A good friend of mine from high school, Michelle, was nice enough to paint our little girls name out of wooden blocks so we can hang them over her crib. Since we are keeping her name a secret here is what her first initial looks like! They turned out sooo cute!


Last week Ed put the dresser together so that we would be able to put all the clean items away before she gets here. We still have to put the hutch together but this will do for now ...



Here is our weekly email update:

It's hard to say for sure how big your baby will be, but the average newborn weighs about 7 1/2 pounds (a small pumpkin) and is about 20 inches long. His skull bones are not yet fused, which allows them to overlap a bit if it's a snug fit through the birth canal during labor. This so-called "molding" is the reason your baby's noggin may look a little coneheadish after birth. Rest assured — it's normal and temporary.
