May Baby!

I had a dr. appointment this morning to check if little Shannon is ready to come out and if we should induce tomorrow morning. Well, she has progressed a bit since Thursday, but it's not enough to induce tomorrow. We're going to wait to induce on Saturday. Finally, we'll get to see our sweet, beautiful baby girl! I can't wait! Please keep us in your prayers!

Due Tomorrow!!

Well, she's due tomorrow, but I don't think we'll see her until next week. There was just a little bit of progress yesterday at my dr. appointment, but there's nothing that shows that she'll be here soon.

The Game Plan:
I'll go in on Tuesday to see if there's any progress. If there is, then we will induce on Wednesday. If there is not, then we'll plan to induce on Saturday. My dr. is on call that weekend, so it should work out great!

That's our plan - we'll see what God has in mind for us though! :)

We just can't wait to meet her!!!!

39 Weeks

Are we there yet???? Evidently we aren't. We had our weekly dr. appointment yesterday morning and Baby Shannon is still not ready to join the world. My dr. said, "I'll see you next Thursday!" As if we weren't going to see her in the delivery room before then.

I'm uncomfortable and the nights are tough, but I'm hanging in there. I truly think I've been blessed throughout this entire pregnancy. At this point the throwing up on the bus episode during my first trimester seems so long ago .... and yet so worth it once this baby is in our arms! :)

Until next week .....

37 1/2 Weeks Dr. Visit

Well, we had another dr. appointment this morning. There's nothing new to report. I'm not dilated and little Shannon still hasn't dropped. If nothing happens within the next few weeks, we may have a May baby on our hands! :)

37 1/2 Weeks

Whew! I can't believe we have 2 1/2 weeks left! I had a little break down the other day. I told Scotty that I was so scared. Scotty said, "Honey, you are going to be a great mom!" I told him, "I'm not worried about being a mom! I'm worried about how this baby is going to come out of me!" We both kind of giggled and Scotty assured me that he would be by my side and that it would be fine. I sure hope so! This week has been a bit tough with the braxton hicks and hip pain. Other than that though, I've been trying to get things in order for her arrival. We're almost there!!!

Ultrasound

It's getting closer!!!!! We finally had another ultrasound on Thursday. We were so excited to see our little girl, but at the same time we were kind of bummed that she was being so shy. We didn't get to see her face at all. She's head down and face down. I guess she's getting ready to join the world! It will be a mystery what she looks like until the big day! According to the machine, she weighs 6 1/2 pounds. We even got to see that she has hair!! And they reassured us once more that she is in fact a girl! Oh we just can't wait to meet her!!

Baby Shannon's Nursery

The nursery is finally finished! Now, all we need is our little bundle of joy to complete it!
