Baby STILL on board!

Okay, so there’s no baby yet! Predicting the arrival of our child has been a comedy of errors from the get-go! First, I was told June 21, then my doctor did an ultrasound and said it was going to be July 15. Then, my doctor left on vacation for a month-and-a-half, so I began to see another doctor. The new doctor reviewed my file, ultrasound images, and did an examination and said she thought it was more like July 23. Well, now that I’ve surpassed ALL of those dates, I’m going crazy! For an anal, control freak like myself this is pure torture because all I can do is wait. There is a positive side to all of this, I suppose. The past week at home has been pretty darn nice. I’ve managed to stay busy cleaning, catching up on The Price is Right, and going for walks with the dogs. Our house is pretty much in order for the baby. 

As soon as Gabriella’s here, I’ll be sure to spread the word. Until then, send our family your positive vibes. Maybe with enough good energy and prayers our baby will finally decide to make her debut. Thanks to everyone who continue to check on us. We appreciate your excitement!

  1. Hang in there! I know it must be tough to keep on waiting.

    Henry’s birthday is 7/28. Who knows, maybe Henry and Gabriella will be birthday twins. Wouldn’t that be a crazy-fun twist?!

    Sending you lots of love, hugs, and birth vibes. She’ll be here before you know it, Mama.
