It's Scheduled!

So. . . unless our little guy decides to make an extra early appearance, then he will be here on Sunday, May 18! That's right around my 38th week of pregnancy. The plan is that I will be induced early that morning. My doctor tells me that because this is my second pregnancy things should go a little faster and smoother than last time! Hopefully things will go great. If there are any interesting updates, we'll let you know.

We've been busy trying to get things together for the baby. I really can't believe how fast time has gone this time! It's so different from being pregnant with Clara. The nursery is coming together and my sister is throwing me a baby shower tomorrow- I'll get some pictures up soon. I'm 35 weeks pregnant now and I'll tell you what, I am really feeling it. Getting more uncomfortable every day, which when I tell people that the first response I get is "I bet you can't wait to have him out of there." As crazy as this sounds I am actually not in a huge hurry to have the baby out. I still remember all too clearly the first few months with a newborn, and I figure that at least now I am still sleeping at night! Not that I am not excited to meet the newest member of our family, I am just not in a huge hurry for that to happen. On a brighter note, I have had several people tell me that the second time around with a newborn is a little easier because you have already been through it and know what to expect. Hopefully that's true, anybody with experience have an opinion? I guess that I'll know soon enough. Wish us luck!

Finally, I get to go swimming!

Clara has been asking us since we moved in if she can go swimming. And believe it or not, even though we live in Florida the water has been a little too cold for me or Adam to brave it. But Uncle Paul came over and had been working outside in the heat all day. He was all for taking Clara in. Although neither of them lasted very long, they did have a really great time while they were at it!
