38 Weeks

We had our weekly appointment today! All was well! Baby Gator is measuring about 7 pounds and the heartbeat was about 141. I am almost 2 cm. dilated and if all goes well at next weeks appointment and I have dilated to about 2.5-3 cm, they plan to induce me on the July 16th. We really want 1 of 3 Doctors and two of them are on call that week.

Baby Showers

We have had some wonderful baby showers and Baby Gator has all that he/she will need! We want to thank Aunt Sarah for hosting a great shower at Bella Luna. We were spoiled with Bon Bonnerie Opera Cream Cake...Yummy and lots of gifts for the baby! The Butler Soccer girls threw a shower in Indy for us. It was a great visit with the girls and a Chance to see all their kids growing! We are wondering if I will carry on the Butler Tradition and have a baby boy first! Thanks Girls. And then we had a great shower here in Cincy given by Michelle Dohrmann, Amy LaBarbara and Betsy Roeder. I managed to stock up on diapers thanks to the cute Diaper Cakes! We have all the necessary items...bottles, diapers, pacifiers, blankets, diaper cream...Thanks for all the great gifts from everyone!

3 Weeks to Go

June 23, 2008

We went to the Dr. on Monday and I was 1 cm dilated. That was exciting to hear, but we do realize this could be the same for weeks. Our Dr. Told us that she would let me go two weeks late if the baby didn't arrive on the due date. PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed that Baby Gator cooperates and comes a few days early.

We have everything in place, the car seat is installed. Clothes are washed and bags are packed for the hospital! We are ready and anxious to meet Baby Gator!

June 14, 2008

We have about 4 more weeks to go! I went to the Dr. on Friday and she estimated that Baby Gator already weighs about 6 pounds 5 oz. And if he/she gains a pound a week...I think we may have a pretty big baby at delivery!

We both are very excited to find out if Baby Gator is a boy or a girl. I'm excited because I will have two surprises at birth. First, I will get to find out the sex of the baby and second, Gator gets to name the baby. We agreed on 4 names for each and he has his favorites.

20 Weeks

We thought this would be fun to tell our story and announce the arrival of Baby Gator in July. The ultrasound pictures are from our 20 week appointment. (February 27, 2008)

The baby's heartbeat was about 141. Gator still thinks it is a boy! I have only had two dreams about the sex of the baby. A boy and a girl. The appointments are very exciting and each time it is so wonderful to hear the heartbeat. The Ultrasound tech said the baby was very calm and relaxed and she tried everything to get it to turn and look at us, so we could get a picture.

We are wanting to be surprised in the end....

What do you all think we are having?
