Take a Guess!


Another great gift that we received from the Wisconsin shower was a list of everyone's guesses on birthdate, sex, weight, and height for Baby Mayer. If you haven't already shared your guess... I would love to have some more guesses to record in our baby book.

It's Showering in Wisconsin!


We had a wonderful surprise on Tuesday when we received a virtual shower from Wisconsin! Gramma Kate and Grandpa Tim had a shower thrown for them (and for us) by Sue and Steve Elbing. They had most of the relatives there and video-taped it all so we would feel like we were right there celebrating too. It was so much fun to see the pictures and watch the videos. Thank you Elbings for doing all of that! And thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts. This is one spoiled baby already! We love you Wisconsin family!!!

Bad Mommy!




Oh that's bad that it has already been a month since my last blog. I have been really bad about updating you all on our progress.




Today I am officially 38 weeks. I had a doctor's appointment this morning... but no real news to report other than that everything looks good. I thought she was going to start checking for dialation this week, but she said we would start next week if I wanted... and if nothing happens before then. Baby's heartbeat sounded good, my blood pressure was good, I had gained two pounds, and the Group B Strep test I had to do last week was negative. So all good news.




I haven't really started to feel any contractions yet. I wake up every morning thinking- well, my water didn't break and I didn't have contractions- maybe it won't happen today either. I am still really hoping to make it to April... but luckily at this point we know the baby would be healthy.




And we're as ready as I think we could possibly be. The hospital bag is packed (the mixed nuts I packed for Drew have been taunting him), the nursery is ready, the carseat is by the door, the car is clean, our phone tree list and visitor list are made, even the bills due in early April are electronically scheduled. Now its just sit and wait.
