The End is Near (or if not, I think I may cry)



I haven't updated since the first of the month, well because there isn't much going on, outside of the fact that I feel a little like a blimp! :) I don't really favor ranting about how I'm not getting any sleep, or about how I feel like my stomach is literally lined with lead weights that are ripping my insides out at times. I prefer to remain as lady-like about being pregnant as possible! Mine has been pretty easy on me (thank you Miss Camilla)!

Two weeks ago, when I went to the doctor for our routine check-up, I wasn't measuring where I was supposed to, so they ordered an ultrasound. Camilla (at that time) was measuring around 33 weeks, but I was only measuring at 28 weeks? Last week, the baby is still growing fine; she measured at 35 weeks, weighing 5 pounds 12 oz., but the doctor doesn't think she'll reach over another pound at birth. So, 6 pounds-ish at birth, but he doesn't seem concerned at all: Camilla is very healthy, and another ultrasound this week will confirm as much. Hopefully they're checking to make sure I've dilated (if at all), as he's only been looking at her via ultrasound.

I'm soooo ready! I was worried about making it through the baby showers (and we did), and yes, I have some pics to get posted on here, and a few more "thank yous" to get mailed out! Wayne and I have been blessed to have gotten all the cool stuff for Camilla that we have; she is a very loved child, already!

Bags are packed-check; Camilla's room is ready-check; everything is ready as far as lists of who to call, text, update-check; Camilla is ready to make her first appearance....well, it's a waiting game now! We have basically 2 to 3 weeks, according to the doc! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.......

I promise to update Friday on the visit!

Oh my heart; the sweetness!

Well, Camilla and prayers came through for me today! We got a full CD, a DVD, and about 30 printed pictures. She shined like a little star today at the 4D! And it was worth EVERY penny....



I'm so in love that I can't breathe! I giggled and laughed while we were doing the ultrasound, but when I called Wayne to tell him she'd done well and showed her face this go 'round, I looked over at the pictures and I cried! The pictures don't do justice to the (real time pics) DVD...she really is beautiful. I know ALL parents say that, but this child is not only our miracle...she's just gorgeous!
