Getting Close!

I had my doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Dr. Theis was out sick so i saw Dr. Thompson. I have never seen him before but he was really nice and i felt comfortable seeing him. He did an exam to check my progress and said that i was moving quickly for a first pregnancy. He said i will probably not make it to my due date. Maddie has already "dropped" and i am starting to dilate and efface. I am dilated to a 1 and 1/2 and 75 % effaced. I know this is yucky words to some people but it means that her arrival is getting close. I left the office feeling very excited because i am ready for her to be here. I will see Dr. Theis on monday and he will do the very uncomfortable exam again and let me know the progress.

I can't believe that i am this close to meeting my new little girl. It is truly a miracle. We feel so blessed to be having her and having had a healthy pregnancy. To capture this "pregnant belly," i am going on saturday morning to have photos taken. I found a photographer in New Braunfels. She does beautiful photos (Shelby Lane Photography) in the maternity aspect, newborn and then birth announcements. We will do the package deal so we can have our first family photo taken through her too. Be watching for those pictures when i get them back.

We love you all and will let you know what happens on Monday. Keep in touch!
