I thought I would stop in while Mommy was doing some work on the computer and write a little update. This will be short and sweet because Mommy doesn't sit for too long these days. Her and Daddy are going here and there, doing this and that making sure everything is done before I get there. Speaking of getting there...here is the update from this week's appointment! We are dilated to 3cm now! Our doctor says she believes I will be there within the week!! It's all very exciting. Everyone be ready for that phone call, email or text. It won't be long now.
See you soon!

And So The Countdown Begins
Well, well, well...so here we are at 38 weeks today. I'm full term at this point, so that means all I'm doing now is fattening up. Mommy and Daddy think I'm going to be a big baby. Mommy says I fill up her whole tummy! For Mommy's sake I hope I'm not too big.
Things have been a whirlwind, a good whirlwind, here lately. Christmas has already come and gone. Mommy says it's sad that the holidays just flew by. We did have lots of family around for Christmas so that was fun. There was LOTS of talk about ME!! Who doesn't love to hear good things about themselves? This year Mommy and Daddy spent Christmas at our house since Mommy can't travel. Everyone came here at some point or another...Granny Connie, Great Granny Mac, Uncle Wess, Aunt Alyson, my cousins Justin, Josh, Brooklyn and Berkeley, Grandma Pat and Grandpa John. It was all SO MUCH fun!
Now we are just in the waiting game phase. I haven't decided how I want to play this one for Mommy and Daddy yet. I don't know if I want to speed things up and come a little early, or make them sweat it out and come late. Mommy went to the doctor Friday and we are dilated to 1 1/2 cm already. That is all just part of my plan to give them a little tease...let them know I'm on my way but still keep them guessing as to when the big day will be! The doctor told Mommy it COULD be any day now so just be ready. That goes for everyone. Be ready! You could be getting that phone call any day now, but I'm not giving any hints of when I'll decide to make my grand entrance into this world!
Stay tuned. I will be here before you know it.
SEE you all soon.

Showers And Appointments And The Holidays...OH MY!
Okay, okay I know. It's been almost a month since I blogged last. Keep in mind it's not all my fault. Mommy is partly to blame as well. I'm only able to blog when she brings me into the office, and well her and Daddy have been really busy getting ready for the holidays, writing thank yous to all our wonderful friends and family, getting my room ready and not to mention keeping up with that Tango. She's a 95lb mess, but our good mess! (I heard Daddy say that).
So let's get caught up. SHOWERS...Mommy took me to two showers that were just for me! Mommy's friends at work threw a shower week before last. All the voices I'm so used to hearing every day were there. We had a great time. There was lots of laughing, good food, games and gifts. Thank you to everyone! I can't wait until I get there, and can finally put faces to voices!
Mommy took me to another shower last Saturday in Jacksonville. It was our last trip there until I'm out of my LITTLE house. No more traveling for Mommy...that's how close we are to my arrival! There were lots of good friends and family there. We had so much fun visiting, catching up, eating and opening presents. Two of Daddy's aunts (and Mommy's too now) from South Dakota came with Grandma Pat. That was exciting because I had heard lots about them, but not gotten to hear their voices before. There was also family there that hadn't seen Mommy with her 'baby bump'. It was fun to hear their reactions to my "LITTLE" house that's sticking out for all to see. Mommy had so much fun with everyone, which in turn, means I had fun! Thank you to everyone who came, and to all Mommy's wonderful friends (our other family) who threw the shower. It was wonderful, and we love you all very much!
Thank you to everyone for all the great gifts, cards, warm wishes and prayers you have sent my way, and all before even meeting me. Mommy says there have been so many fabulous things sent my way already, and that we are truly blessed to have such caring people around us every day!
On to APPOINTMENTS...Mommy is taking me to the doctor weekly now. We finish our 36th week today, and only have 4 weeks left. YIKES!!! Am I really ready for this big, wide world? HA! Who am I kidding, OF COURSE I am! The question is, is the world ready for me? As Mommy and Daddy say...I'm going to be a red-headed, sassy handful, but I promise to be the sweetest handful! Okay so I got off track there; back to appointments. Our last appointment was this past Tuesday and everything is right on track. I'm measuring good, my heartbeat is good, Mommy is healthy AND we have started dilating!!! We haven't gotten too far in that process yet, but it's beginning and that's exciting! We will know more this week at my appointment, so I'll update everyone on my status Thursday. Either way, it won't be long now. Mommy and Daddy can hardly believe it's almost here!
So last but certainly not least is HOLIDAYS...Mommy's side of our family will all be coming to our house for an early Christmas celebration this weekend. We are all so excited! Since Mommy can't travel anymore everyone decided to come here so me, Daddy and Mommy aren't without that side of the family for Christmas. It's going to be so much fun! I can't wait to have my cousins Justin and Josh around again. Now Joshy is really excited for me to get there, and says he's going to help Mommy and Daddy take care of me. I sure hope Justin has warmed up to the idea that I'm a girl, but if not, it's like Mommy says when she's teasing him, "You are going to love this little girl more than you thought you would love any girl" hehehehe. I guess we'll see about that. From what I understand Justin has a mind of his own as well. Something else very exciting about everyone coming is that Brooklyn and Berkeley will be here! I can't wait to hear their voices (well Brooklyn's, Berkeley is too little to talk yet). I haven't gotten to 'meet' them yet and I'm so super excited. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see them too! Mommy says she is anxious to see how big Miss Brooklyn has gotten, and to meet Miss Berkeley! So much fun! Everyone should be here by Friday night, so let the fun begin!!
Well I believe I have 'talked your ears off' enough for one day. I will keep you posted on my progress and whether they think I'm going to be early, late or on time. Either way, get ready because here I come!!
Until next time (and I won't let Mommy make me wait a month),
