Hello! Here are Andrew and me on 5/25/09, eagerly awaiting the birth of our precious son.I am 37 Weeks in this photo, which is the beginning of my 10th month of Pregnancy and means the baby is FULL TERM!!!! He could be born now without worry of lung problems, etc. The lungs are the last organ to develop, so for the next few weeks he just needs to keep growing. I thank the Lord that our baby is fully developed now and that he appears to be healthy in every way!!
Baby Boy Banks is still wiggling and squirming a lot. He is so adorable! He has hiccups at least once a day too.
When I stand up straight and look down I can no longer see my toes, but I do see an amazingly cute baby bump! Check out my view!
For the record my belly button still has not popped out, I still have not cried over a commercial, and I don't have stretch marks yet. I am so hoping I get thru these next few weeks without them! That would be thrilling!
Not to say I haven't had my share of misery and suffering throughout this pregnancy, I sure have, but I do want to keep this on a positive note, so I'll just stop there. (However if you are interested in the not so great side of pregnancy, just let me know I'll tell you anything you want to know!)
At my Mid-Wife appointment last Tuesday, I was at a 24 pound gain, BBB's fundas measurement was at 38 cm (which is perfect), his heart rate was at 130 and my blood pressure and everything else was just fine.
At this current time I know of 14 other pregnant women who are or have been pregnant during at least some of the time I have been and of the ones who were due before me, they have ALL (except 1 scheduled C-sec) went early...up to 20 days early, yikes!!!!!!!
So with that in mind we have not made any firm plans in a long time and pretty much have been getting things ready at home (though we still have plenty to do before he arrives, like pack our hospital bags, practice breathing, etc) which has been great and we've mixed some fun into each weekend, but over all I'M BORED!!!!!!!! We all are....tee-hee....so I checked the weather and decided to surprise Andrew and Emily with tickets to a Loons Baseball Game tonight!!! I just can't wait to have something fun to do! Go Loons! Oh and bonus, they are having Fireworks after the game tonight too!! It'll be great!
As of today, 5/30/09, BBB is due in 16 days!!! Please pray for a healthy BBB and a safe delivery. I am trying to be brave and I know I can do this...or at least that I have to, but I am scared to give birth too (I have definitely cried about that!). Thank you for your prayers, excitement and support!
With much love,
Shannon

That's an adorable pic of the three of you. :)
What! You're belly button hasn't popped out? I think mine is going to split open any day. I don't know how much further my "divot" can stretch :) Have you eaten a whole watermelong yet? Did that last week.
Yay! I love the picture too! You have a cute baby bump. I'm sure that if I were ever pregnant, I would not look as cute as you do. Hang in there. We are praying for a safe delivery of BBB!
