Less than a month to go..

So I have completely neglected my blog, that I insisted was something I would religiously keep up on. With the move up to Brainerd and not having internet for about 4 months, made it pretty hard. My apologies to you all that always came back to check but left disappointed to only to see that its the same post it has been FOREVER! Knowing that most of you have given up on me and this blog, don't lose all hope just yet, for I AM BACK!!!!!!! We now have internet, so if I wanted, I can post 10 blogs a day if that's what it takes to earn your trust back :)

For everyone that has lost count, which is EVERYONE, I am 36 wks. and 6 days. Let the count down begin.

Let me recap on some things: At our 19 wk. appointment we had an ultra sound and was told that we would be having a little girl. Between then and around being 28 wks. we picked out a name, had a baby shower where we received tons of pink girly things, started on the babies room and so on. Only to hear at appointment after appointment that the doc. thinks that it could be a boy. WHAT???? The heartbeat was always around 136 and Dr. Delong insisted that it may not be Lil' Olivia in there.

Did I freak out, OF COURSE I freaked out. What was I going to do with all this pink girly stuff that I have collected through-out the months. After time, I came to realize that if it happened to be a boy, he would just LOVE the color pink. So I calmed down and was waiting out for our 36th wk. appointment, where we would be given an ultra sound and find out for sure what was in there. I needed to know what bedding to get!! (As most of you know, I am a planner and need to have things done in advance!)

So, this past Monday was our appointment and with the saying, "Mothers' know best" it really is little Olivia in there!!!! :) What a relief!!!!!! WHEW!!!! We now have the bedroom ALL done and ready to go. There are still things we need obviously but it's a relief to have the room done.

Now I am always told that I am sooo little and no way am I due in less than a month. Well to my surprise, this baby is no little baby! The doc. predicts that she will be 8 lbs or more at time of birth. OOFTA! But on the up side of things, Dr. Delong says I will be one of those girls that doesn't look like I just had a baby after all said and done, and so....... I can handle a big baby as long as I can fit back in most of clothes in the end.
