Bill and Heather's Blog

Well its been a month since the last blog. We are counting down to D-day with 48 days to go at this point.. 48 days!! I remember when it was 248 days.. thats when we found out we were expecting our little boy.. now we are down to the last little bit. He can actually come anytime now and be very healthy and happy boy! Over the last month I have gotten so much bigger.. and So has Kaden. We had a growth Ultrasound done last week, because of the lack of maternal weight gain.. Well.. Kaden is not stunted at all.. Matter of fact he is 83% on the growth scale. 50% is a normal/average baby... so he is bigger than the average by a good amount. Amazing fact since I haven't gained any weight!! I am actually still down 17 lbs from pre pregnancy. From my lowest weight I am up 12 lbs, pretty much all baby at this point. Kaden weighed 4 lbs 14 oz at the 32 week mark so he's gonna be a biggin! We will start working on getting him out a little early if the doc allows, cuz I really dont want a Csection!! But its up to the doctors. We'll start walking more, and encouraging him to come on his own starting May 1st.. as of may 23 he is FULL TERM, so i figured with 3 weeks to work on ripening things and dialating that we can do this normal and vaginal. I keep having thoughts of my water breaking. I know that only 20% of peoples water breaks on their own with no intervention.. but I wanna be one of those people! :)

Kaden is very active.. Bill and I love just watching my belly dance nightly. He also isnt very nice all the time. But i guess thats all about pregnancy that isnt the fun fun stuff. He is head down, so thats a great sign!!

I had my baby shower a couple weeks ago. Holy smokes was it an affair to remember!! I can't believe the generousity of my friends and family. They have really come through to make this little boy feel like a prince!! Everyone is totally entertaining my Monkey addiction.. SO thank you!!! :) After the shower i spent days cleaning everything, sterilizing and trying to get things ready for Kaden's arrival. I actually managed to get his bag completely packed for the hospital. Mine on the other hand.. not so much!!!

I have to work on Kaden's Bears Quilt. I have everything ready to go.. just need the motivation to do it. Maybe this week. His nursery area is set up and we have diapers and wipes and everything we need for him! Just need the little boy to complete the picture. Well i am gonna include some pictures of the past month. Hopefully this time next month.. we'll have our little boy!!!! We'll see.
