I Am SO Ready

This photo is me at 29 weeks. When I bought this shirt it was a little tight and I was afraid it would only last a couple weeks, but it was so cute I couldn't resist! I am now 37 weeks and 2 days. That shirt still fits me and is one of the 3 shirts that actually make me look pregnant. The rest of my clothes just make me look...blobbish. I am well within what I should have gained this pregnancy but with every half ounce this baby gains I find it harder and harder to be comfortable. It shocks me how each day changes so much, for only half an ounce!

We are trying to get Mr. Baxter out to join us as soon as possible. That being said, before I get scolded, let me say: 1. I know he will come when he is ready. 2. I know I am not technically due until the 27th, but I am officially at term now. 3. At my last doctor appointment I was dilated to a 2 and 80% effaced and the doctor actually felt the babies head, so I feel like this could be coming to an end. I know, I know women have been in this state for weeks. 4. I am so excited to have our sweet baby join our earthly home, I am getting anxious!

Leo keeps pressuring Baxter to come since he doesn't have tests this week, which is making me a little stressed because I feel like we are on a schedule. Plus, I would like to be able to do some more of my housework so I don't have to ask Leo to do that when he is so busy. I try to get as much done as I can, but it is getting harder to maneuver and bend. I am also excited to see what he will look like! I am sure he will look like Leo when he was little as apparently the Bay genes wipe out anything in their path. I can't wait for Leo to get to hold and play with Baxter, he is so sweet and wonderful! When we were setting up Baxter's bed in our room, Leo decided to put the bed further across the room so that if I was exhausted, he could get Baxter for me without having to climb over me. I am so thankful for how sweet he is, he takes such wonderful care of me. The countdown is on.

Yay Jamie! I am going to be checking FB more regularly than normal in anticipation of the announcement that he has arrived! Good luck with everything. You and Leo are going to be amazing parents!
