Baby D...D is for Dang BIG!

So I got the subject line from my sister in law, Missy when I told her how big our baby is...estimated at 7 lbs. 13 oz!!! We went last Friday to the hospital for our final ultrasound and were surprised to find that our little man was so big! We thought he was going to be larger than normal but just not that big. And OF COURSE that makes me a little MORE nervous about the delivery! But I just keep telling myself that God is going to help me through it and that women have been doing this labor thing for a long time :)

So the due date has been pushed up...YAY!!! The docs said that if I don't have him by the 17th, they'll induce me between the 18th and 22nd. So we will be meeting him SOON! :):):)
Well here's the latest pic our our little man!!! You can see his face with his little hands kind of clasped by the right of his chin. Isn't he just precious?? Look at those cheeks! I mean, I know we're partial, but seriously...he's freakin' cute.
At the appt. last Friday I was hoping to be somewhat dilated, but that was just not the case. I go back on Monday, the 11th, so hopefully some things will be a little different. I'll keep you updated. We're in the home stretch!
I've also had a couple more showers and am feeling TOTALLY spoiled. I really have some amazing friends. Bryan and I had a couple's shower hosted by Lisa, Krisztina, Erika, and Tori. Here's a pic of me and ladies...
It was so much fun! The decorations were adorable and the food was fabulous! Here's a pic of Bryan and I with the cake...
Our little man got all kinds of good stuff...he is going to look too cute in his new outfits! I also got an awesome laminated, blue corduroy diaper bag...super cute and easy to clean! Erika got us our MUCH needed crib matress as well. Baby D will be so much more comfortable now! :) Little by little we are definetly more and more prepared!

Last weekend I had a shower hosted by Wanda, Teri, Liz, and Belinda. Baby D got all kinds of bath stuff, lots of diapers, a pack 'n play, and some much needed gift certificates! Wanda made one of her super cute (and super delicious!) cakes. I don't have pics yet, but I'll definetly post when I do.

So, that's the update for now. More to come next week after our appt. on Monday!
