12 hours to go...

Last Friday at my doctor's appointment we scheduled an induction for February 6th but we've now changed the date to February 1st. I went to the doctor on Monday because I was having some pretty bad cramps and went again this morning because they were even worse. It obviously wasn't labor, but since I've been having these symptoms and since there was an opening for an induction tomorrow we decided to take it. I'm actually feeling really anxious about it - mostly because Micahel came on his own and it just seems strange to walk into the hospital and have labor started for you. It's almost like it's too easy. But, there are some good things. First, my doctor is guaranteed to deliver the baby. Second, there won't be any craziness associated with going into labor, and third, both my mom and my grandma's birthday are tomorrow.

Jeff and I will be sure to post pics once we're able. Wish us luck!

37 Weeks and Counting

I am 37 weeks pregnant as of January 20. On the 16th I had an ultrasound to determine the size of the baby and it was estimated at 4 lbs, 13 oz. The baby should gain about 1/2 pound per week which will put it close to what Michael weighed when he was born.

The week of the 16th was pretty interesting here in San Antonio. We continued to get a lot of rain and on Tuesday the temperatures fell below freezing. As a result the entire city was under ice and was shut down until Thursday morning. Below is a picture of what it looked like at our house.















On Friday I had another appointment with the doctor. Nothing too exciting to report. My next appointment is on the 26th.
















I haven't posted a self-portrait of Michael for a while so here is one I just found. Enjoy!
