38.5 Weeks


Less than 10 days to go, and I feel like I could not possibly get any bigger. There is no room left for this little guy to grow, but still, he's growing!!! I'm finally starting to feel very ready to have this baby. My back hurts, my hips hurt, I feel like my lungs are smushed. House is mostly clean (not sure if I have it in me to mop my floors again before giving birth -- maybe if I get REALLY desperate), hospital bag is packed, all four of us are VERY excited to meet this little man. The only problem is, since he didn't come this weekend, now he has to wait until NEXT weekend to come. Do you think he's getting the memo?

This week is really busy for Jon -- finals for school, a big three-day conference for work. Not to mention, weekends are much better for calling the grandparents to come and help!! I decided a few weeks ago that March 9th would be the perfect birthday for little Kellen. At the time, I wasn't sure he would hold out until then, but now I'm wondering if this baby is actually going to be LATE rather than early. Trying to trust in God's perfect timing ... he always has a way of coming through :)

Oh, Rachel - you look GORGEOUS! I am so excited for you to have another little baby! Looking forward to getting the phone call via the Fagan hotline :) Here's wishing you a very comfortable and easy labor! Love you!

When Grady was born, Brian was also in finals week! He finished his last final for the term on Saturday morning and I went to the hospital Saturday night! So, maybe Kellan will hold out a little longer!

Isn't it so hard not knowing exactly when he's going to arrive??

Can't WAIT to hear your story!!!

I had to laugh about the comment about it taking a "long noisy while" to get Jon up the other morning. On those days when Brian would wake up with Grady, he'd always tell me, "I'll get up with him, but you have to help me wake up, because I won't hear him if you don't." Thanks, Hon. Sure, I'll wake you up so you can get up with him. And I'll sleep in??

So excited for y'all!!!

Sorry...
Kellen, not Kellan!

Rachel, you look awesome--I am wondering if I'll be that small in a mere 7 weeks. You look great, so strut your stuff these final days. I will add your labor and delivery to my prayer list, hoping that all goes perfectly (as it will). Can't wait to hear the news and see your newest little lovebug!!!
