Oh my goodness, so this is what contractions feel like! I never really had them with my first two, but I have been having some real good, painful ones today. To the point where I must sit down and let it pass. Wow, this is kinda fun.
So I went to the doctor today and I have made very little progress. The only change is that he said I was closer to 2 cm. He also measured my belly and asked me how big my last baby was. I told him Tatum was 8 lbs 8 oz. He said this baby will be much smaller, not even 8 pounds. Don't know how he knows that, but I am hopeful he is right. Tatum gave us all a scare because she was so big I almost had to have a c-section with her.
Tomorrow is the last day of school! Yay! I don't know when I've looked forward to a break so much. I am getting my hair highlighted and cut on Saturday morning, then we are planning to go to a Shane & Shane concert at church that night. Then my sweet family is coming to Houston next Tuesday to spend Christmas with us! I am so excited and blessed that they are all willing to accomodate me & baby girl this year. We have never had a Christmas here at our house in seven years of marriage, so I am so looking forward to it. Mostly it will just be fun to have Martin & Dominique, my brother & sister-in-law around for a few days. Thanks so much for coming, y'all! It's supposed to be 70 degrees, so bring your golf clubs!
I don't have any updates on my prayer requests from yesterday, but thanks so much for taking a minute to pray for them. I will post an update when I find out more.
Happy Friday!

I was wondering about an update on your requests from yesterday..
Oh my...I didn't realize you never had contractions with the other 2. I probably knew it at the time but have forgotten now....just know they will not continue to be fun, I promise.
I was scraping ceilings when I finally decided I couldn't handle it anymore so my Aunt Janet came over to check me and I was at a 6...not fun.
I hope she comes soon for you...enjoy this week with your bro and SIN.
Love you and thanks for the most generous check...you shouldn't have done that but thanks...
Wow, I can't believe you have all that planned when you could pop any day now! I can't wait to hear the good news of the new arrival! Hope you have a blessed weekend!
Holy cow, so it could be any day!?!? So exciting! That's great that you're already at a 2. Enjoy your last day of school!
That is exciting news, my friend! I hope you are able to enjoy all the festivities you have planned. We can't wait to meet her and find out her name!
I will be lifting up your requests from yesterday as well. Such a tough time for so many.
just got your comment. :)
we were still in the hospital when sophia was born when they had their grand opening. they even asked if they could put sophia in the nursery so people could see a baby. :)
mike & i walked around and enjoyed the festivities in the lobby, including a signed lance berkman baseball (more like a beachball made to look like a baseball).
anywho, we went by when they were shutting down. all the volunteers & us got to do handprints. definitely not a typical occurance. we found space for sophia's once we went back for a sibling class, but at this point, i think that area is covered with the plexiglass. *sigh*
those are fun to find each time...especially after they added on and moved the nursery (which used to be in that hallway).
wow, that was a long comment completely unrelated to your post...sorry!
merry CHRISTmas!
We are still awaiting the news! I hope you are feeling well!
Talk to you soon.
