Life has been pretty low key here. We've been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and visitors and of course for the baby. I can't believe that we only have 4 weeks to go! I remember when my friend, Kellie, only had 4 weeks to go and I kept thinking she could have her baby any day. Now that is me! Exciting, but a little scary too. I have packed my hospital bag...somewhat. I have a checklist so I can throw in the last minute items. We still need a few things for the baby, but we are getting there. We did a hospital tour the other day, which was exciting. The birthing rooms are huge, the recovery room, well not so much. I guess it isn't a place that I want to stay for long anyway.
We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. According to the ultrasound Baby Jonas is measuring 6lbs 10 oz! He is a couple weeks ahead of schedule. My doctor said that she would like to induce me on the 22nd if he doesn't come by then. I know that being induced is tough, but the thought of having him here by Christmas is so exciting! I'm so excited to meet this little guy! I'm hoping he comes on his own sooner rather than later! Dan even had some concerns about when the Lakers come to town on the 14th. He said that if I didn't have the baby by then he wasn't sure if he should go to the game....what?! Dan!? Missing Kobe?!? What a sweetie. :) I don't think I would let him do that though! We would have a doctor appointment that day so hopeful that would indicate whether we were close or not. Unless I am in labor, I would assure him that it would be ok to go! And cross my fingers that if I do go into laborI am not one of those people who has the baby in an hour!
Well, Dan's family is on there way here! It will be so much fun to see them. We have a busy and exciting weekend ahead...a baby shower, the vikings game and of course eating lots today! I better finish up cleaning and cooking. Here's the latest picture of our little one. In case you can't tell his head is on the right and you should be able to see his nose and mouth. They his little hand is toward the left of the picture.
Love,
Katie
