Counting Down!

We are now on the final 2 weeks of the pregnancy! We can't believe that in just 10 days we will be proud parents of our little baby Christian! Well, actually, I can believe it. I'm like the Pilsbury Dough Boy. I have gained almost 35 pounds and I am retaining water like crazy!! I roll out of bed in the morning and I find myself waddling to get everywhere ! Today I went on a walk and when I was finished my hands were as thick as a brick! I am not even kidding.
It must be a funny sight but after this moment of reflection I find it funny no more. I am absolutely 100 percent ready to get this baby out! But he doesn't seem to think that it's time. The last 3 visits to the Dr. I have shown no progress whatsoever. The baby is still incredibly high and has not dropped at all. He seems to be completely content where he is. Not if I have anything to say about it!

My mom is coming out the 18th and we plan to induce on the 19th, the due date. Even though the Dr. has agreed to induce, I hope we've made some progess by then.

Jared is starting his 3rd week at Ole' Miss and seems to be enjoying it. He is so smart!
I find myself really looking forward to Jared coming home from school everyday. I really miss him and I don't like to be alone all day. Hopefully when the baby comes I'll have more to do and I wont be quite so lonely for his companionship.

I tried to get Jared to take a picture of both of us for this entry but he just wouldn't! What a stinker. I bet he'll be singing a different tune when I want to take pictures of him and the baby! Jared really is a sweet heart. He has taken such good care of me the entire pregnancy.
No one could be more excited to be a daddy than he is. He asks everyday if we can have the baby now. It's so sweet!

Well I think the next time we update this we will be new parents! Until then. Chao!

Dear Kristin,

Hi, this is Haley's mom. She told me how cute you look and suggested I look at your blog and I must agree. You are one of the lucky few that look even more beautiful pregnant. Tell Jared hello and good luck to you both. We love the name Christian and would have chosen it had we had a boy.

Love, Brenda Berlin
