One week to go...

Well we are on official Bubba watch now. The c-section is scheduled for next Thursday, but I am really hoping he decides to make his appearance early....I know this makes Jimmy cringe, but I don't think there is anymore room for this little guy in there. I had my last formal ultrasound today and his current estimated weight is 8.1 lbs with almost seven days to go. Yikes! It will be so odd to have a nine pounder. I think Audrey was over three months old before she hit that kind of weight. Hopefully this means he will be a super good eater and sleeper. A mom can wish, right??

I am just anxious and excited to meet this little fellow.

Bubba Shower / Pumpkin Patch

Fall is officially here! We are busy getting ready for Halloween and of course the arrival of baby boy...any day now! I am 37 weeks along now and feel like I am carrying around a big pumpkin! I am scheduled to have a c-section on October 29th, but I am hoping he might come a little early so I don't have to spend Halloween in the hospital. I was told on Friday that due to the H1N1 threat children under 18 will not be allowed anywhere on the maternity or post-partum units so that means Audrey will have to wait for his homecoming to meet Bubba. That also means 3-4 days without mama seeing her Audrey. This is going to be tough. I was hoping that Jimmy could at least bring her to the hospital in costume so I could see her but I guess that is just not going to happen.

Bubba Shower...

My mom and friend Sami thru me the sweetest baby shower to celebrate baby Bubba. I had a house full of dear friends who all made the day so special. The pumpkin theme meant an abundance of delicious fall treats. Yummy yummy!



Pumpkin Patch...

Last weekend Jimmy and I decided to take Audrey to a pumpkin patch to pick out her own Halloween gourd. We joined Nana, Papa, Sami, Daren and Zach at Olsen Farms in Gresham. It was a beautiful day for a pumpkin hunt. Audrey's favorite part was the wagon ride. Now the wagon's purpose was to haul the pumpkins out of the patch. Audrey was going to have none of that. She refused to share her ride with any pumpkin, so note the smiling girl on her ride and all of the family carrying the pumpkins! Here are some highlights...
