The ticker finally says 30 days and counting down! Its a very strange feeling to know that "Ringo" will be a real part of our family anytime between now and 5 weeks from now. Doctors wont let me go past the first week in October so at least I know that much! It is starting to feel like I have been pregnant forever and on one hand I am ready to be done but on the other there is a fear of whats to come. As you may or may not know, I have a very low pain tolerance and a general fear of all things doctor/hospital related so the whole labor and delivery process seems very scary. We think we have a handle on the things we will need to bring baby home and the room is set up and stocked for now. I washed and folded all of the onesies, blankets, towels, washcloths, etc.. and am putting them into their place in the dresser and closets. Without knowing the gender of the baby, the entire load of items looked like a giant ball of green and yellow... pretty funny actually. I have my 36 week appointment this Thursday which will be the first of my weekly visits until baby decides its time to get this process started.
This past weekend Karl took a trip to LA for his friends wedding but because of work and my "unsafe condition" I wasn't able to go along. He had a great time at all of the wedding festivities and was able to experience a whole lot of the Indian culture. He didn't take a camera so we don't have any pictures yet but maybe some friends will have some so we can post them. Purdue volleyball opened the season on Friday with a two-day tournament so I had a new crew of interns and staff to train. It's certainly a lot harder to work long days in a hot gym with this extra weight! The weekend actually worked out very well because I was able to visit Katie and the new addition to their family after taking Karl to the airport on Thursday and picking him up last night. Alexis Kate was born early Wednesday morning via c-section and big sister Paige could not be more excited about it. She was sleeping most of the time I spent with her both in the hospital and at their house but she is so cute and I can't wait for our babies to grow up together. Good planning on their part to have the baby in between events for me so thanks Katie and Nick!
This week is busy as usual with the first home football game and Karl's 10 year class reunion. I should have more to post following my visit with the OB on Thursday but I had to make a note of the one month (give or take) to go milestone! I will also add some pictures of this gigantic baby belly at 36 weeks then. Stay tuned....
