it's getting closer..

Mommy had an appointment last Wednesday at 36.5wks. She now is going to visit the Dr. once a week. She can't believe it is so close to my arrival. The Dr. had surprising news! She said mommy was already at a 3 and effacing. She predicts my birthday to be within the next couple weeks. She pointed to the calender and said that I should be here between Oct 14-21. Mommy couldn't believe it and hopes the Dr. is right. Her and daddy went to the hospital right after the appointment to do the early registration and Mommy came back to pack my bag for the hospital! They both want to be prepared if I decide to come 2-3 weeks early as predicted. Mom has felt like I would come on Oct 22 for most of her pregnancy.. Daddy on the other hand is hoping for Oct 23.. He likes the number 23. He is a big Michael Jordan fan and thinks that 23 is a lucky number! They will just have to wait and see.

Daddy has been working hard on my nursery and finishing up all the final touches! He likes to go and just sit in there and imagine me there. He talks to me and tells me that I will love the nursery and that he cant wait to see me. I can already feel all their love!

Love,
baby Eden

I have kissable cheeks!!!

Ive been in here for 35wks and 5 days!!! Can you believe it?!?! M & D went to get ANOTHER ultra sound yesterday in hopes of finally getting a better look at me. They were hoping 3rd time was a going to be the charm, but I am so comfy in my little place that I still haven't moved. Mommy's placenta is a built in pillow... why would I move? Unfortunately for them, this means that they can't get a great look at me! I guess they will just have to wait another 4wks 2 days. They were able to get a small but detectable profile of me. My cheeks look round full and TOTALLY KISSABLE! :) I even might have a dimple.. or so it may seem. I'm still a girl and have lots of hair. The color is still a mystery but mommy thinks it will be dark and that it will turn blonder as I get older. They were able to count the toes on one of my feet.. I have all 5! They look long like daddy's left foot! :) I've been using them to kick mommy's right side a lot lately. It's getting kind of squished in here and I have to move and kick. The ultrasound tech said I weigh about 5lb4oz. Can you believe I'm getting so big?!?! Mommy thinks I look a lot like daddy but grandma thinks I look like Mommy did. I think they are all going to be surprised when they see me, cause I think I might just look like me.. Eden Grace! :)

My aunt Heather bought a ticket to come see me from Vermont. I hope I come by the time she gets here! I want to meet her. Plus, I have a feeling she will be a good snuggler and love on me lots & lots.

Love,
baby Eden
