Every time I see my dad he asks me how many days we have left. I never know. I know the weeks, not the days. Today he told me – we have 74 days left.
Within the past week, about 9 people have said “hopefully he comes early!” It makes me want to put my hands on my belly where I think his tiny ears are at and cover them up so he doesn’t get any ideas! I don’t want him to come early, I want him to come when he is ready! I don’t want his eyes, or lungs or brain to be under developed. I want him healthy!!! I know many of you moms are saying to yourself ‘oh, in a couple of weeks you’ll want him early!’ – but I don’t! We tried for too long to get this little man here and I want him to take his time!
I may be delivering quite the large baby. I was 9.8 pounds and Casey was 8.4. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the size he will be but at our last appointment last week he was measuring 1.4cm bigger than the ‘average’. I really think he doesn’t have any more room to grow – I can see his little appendages run across my tummy every time he moves. And, he is turning like crazy – I wish I could say he is going to be quite the soccer player, just because that is what Casey and I love so much…but recently, it’s more like he is a swimmer. I can’t wait to see what his ‘loves’ in life are.
Maybe pictures of the nursery will come shortly…I couldn’t find fabric I liked for the LONGEST time. I finally found a crib skirt I liked, so I bought it! It should be here tomorrow!

8 Love Notes:
I know exactly what you mean about wanting to keep your kid full term! I thought it was nuts when people wished for premature delivery- nad that was even before having a couple of preemies! it is so much more fun to have a full-term kid you don't have to worry about jaundice and low weight and sleeping through feedings... and we were on the HEALTHY end of the preemie spectrum!
I'm excited for your nursery pics!! Our boy is getting stuck in a room with three girls, so I'll just appreciate your boy stuff instead- haha!
That is a great attitude. You are right, you want them to be ready to thrive on their own! I can't wait to see the nursery!
He will be here before you know it! I never really wanted my babes to come early much either. I just quit going anywhere the last month because people stare!! :) It couldn't have anything to do with how HUGE I get, could it? I'm so excited for you guys, and can't wait to meet him!
I can't believe you only have 74 days left....That went way to fast, I'm with you on the "not coming early" part. Now that I get to schedule my deliveries I will have them on my due date. I like big babies. I cant wait to meet him you guys are going to be great parents. We want to come over and see the nursery when you have it all ready. Good luck.
Im am gettin so EXCITED for you! When are you having your shower, I sure hope you send me an invite :) Im not so sure about the size thing. Jake and I were both small babies so I expected six pounders and ended up with 8.5 pounders LOL :) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the chunkers! More for the pinchin ;) Cant wait to see what your little man will look like!
Awe!! How CUTE Rachelle!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to see pictures of the decor and to see baby boy in the future!! =)
When it comes down to it, 6 pounders and 8 pounders all look the same to me. I have now had two over 8 and without any trouble and coming on their own. I am so excited for you and Casey! Enjoy the calm before the whirlwind of fun begins. Hopefully he comes late! =)
How exciting!! I love getting ready for baby!!
