Random baby thoughts

I can hardly believe that my due date is so close. I am really wondering though when the baby will come. Several of you have made your guess, and many of you have not. I will post the guesses just as soon as the poll closes next Wednesday, at least I think that’s when I set it for, I don’t remember and I can’t seem to find that information out online. Go figure! So be sure to log your vote if you have not already. I have been having some “contractions” but they are not doing anything or making any changes.

But since I was a terrible mother and neglected to take a belly shot in December we’re going to do that one now and hopefully one before we leave for the hospital. We’ll just have to wait and see how that all comes down the pipe too. I really just want to know what the baby will be, a boy or a girl, that way we can stop calling it baby and give it a name.

Names are such a challenge to decide on as well, but I think we have finally settled on one for each gender so it should be interesting which way it comes out, or in my opinion who wins. I have mostly given up on trying to get Ben to pick something different for a boy’s first name and I have caved. It’s really had to compete with Barrett’s name in our opinion, it’s just so cool. Plus his nick name rocks and completely fits him. That makes it a little bit of a challenge to come up with something just as cool; for a boy at least. I’m sure it will all work out in the end!

That’s my little baby update, no new baby to speak of but sometime in the next 20 to 30 days. I don’t think the doctor will let me go too far over my due date, but stranger things have happened.

Oh My God! You look so cute...I wish my belly would have been like that.

Good luck with those "contractions" maybe they will pick up some momentum around say the 16th! ;)

You're all belly!! You know, the kind of person who looks exactly the same except for a belly that will immediately disappear about 10 minutes after you give birth!

Good luck with the delivery and I'm very anxious to find out if it's a boy or a girl and what "baby's" name will be!!
