No Baby Yet!

Two days until my due date and still no baby! I can't believe it! The good news is that I have had a great time spending the past two weeks with Gwenie and not having to share my time watching other kids. Although she really does miss Sarah it's been nice getting to spend time just the two of us before the baby gets here. The other good news is that if I haven't had the baby by Tuesday then the doctor is going to induce labor!!! Tuesday is Jared's birthday so him and our son will share a birthday.
That's about all the news for now...I'll share more after the baby arrives.
These are just a few pictures of Gwenie the past two weeks.

Gwenie and Gabe playing at our house. It's so hard to get them to both look and smile at the same time.

Ready, Set, Run!

What a pretty flower I just picked!

That's Gwenie's favorite thing to do this Spring - smell and pick flowers

Waiting for our Baby Boy

First I need to apologize to all those people who check our blog to only find the same thing for over a month! I will try and do better, especially since I won't be working anymore until next school year. With only 2 weeks left until my due date every day seems as if it could be the day that I will have a son. Last week was Spring Break and I thought for sure that I would have the baby then but it didn't happen. I even went to the doctor last Monday and he said there was no signs of me going in labor, then on Wednesday when I went back to the doctor he said that the babys head was down and in position. So I was so excited thinking that I would have a new baby by today, but it didn't happen. Wednesday I went to the doctor again and he said there wasn't any change from last Wednesday. It's so nerve racking for me, not knowing when I'm going to go in labor and what I'm going to be doing when it does happen. I think that I am more nervous about this delivery than with Gwenie. I'm not really sure why, maybe because I worry about Gwenie and what she will be doing while I'm in labor. Everyone tells me that she will be fine and it may take awhile for her to get used to the new baby being in her territory, but she will adjust. She seems excited now about her "bubby", I hope she feels the same when he's actually here.
Anyway, I'll let know when the baby does arrive or anything happens before then, but for now these are just a couple of pictures of me still pregnant and of Gwenie enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
