35 weeks!!

35 weeks and I couldn't be more excited, in fact I am so excited I can't even sleep...last night I laid awake wondering who was in there, when he/she would come and imagining the amazing moment when Jeff and I truly know the baby is here and OK! I am still completely overwhelmed with emotions as the birth of this baby means SO much for Jeff and me and what we have been through together...as well as our whole family/friends who have taken this ride with us. For the record I still have NO feeling if I think it is Blake or Kinsley in there! I had a great appointment with Dr. Grogan on Friday, I am still measuring three weeks ahead and the baby had a nice strong heart beat. I will see Dr. Korotkin on Friday and everything will be scheduled for the removal of the cerclage and the induction. I am anxious to see him and discuss the removal as well as do one last thorough check of the baby. I do think I will make it till my induction date, I asked Dr. Grogan if she thought I was going to make it and she wouldn't answer me, all she said was that she was on call the week-end of Thanksgiving so I know she is there if we go early at that point! I think Kate is getting excited and I think she is understanding that something is about to change. She has been such a mommy's girl lately and has been a little clingy. I am trying to enjoy this next week with her while it is still just her and I here all day. I know everyone does it but I feel anxious about bringing a baby home and rocking her world...this week-end Jeff and I are going to take her to Build a Bear to make a bear for her and the baby. I think she will love it and I think she will love the time alone with us before the chaos begins! Other than that, I never believed it when people said they were nesting, I thought it was just a term for getting ready...little did I know. I cannot stop cleaning out things around here. I think my motivation is increased because I have been laid up for so long. My closet has never been so clean, actually I don't know if our home has ever been so organized...I think Jeff wants me to have the baby before I throw anything else away. On the flip side, I feel totally unorganized/prepared for the baby...when you don't know what you are having it is very hard to be prepared. We went to buy the baby some clothes yesterday and stood there staring at all the clothes...we left with nothing. It is hard to even focus because I truly don't feel more girl or boy. I have enough for the start and we will go from there!
I will definitely update on Friday after we see Dr. K for the final appointment. 16 days and counting...

So my friend Amanda & I have decided you need to post at LEAST something every other day because we just can't handle it if you go too long without updating us!! You are in the home stretch sista! Woo Hoo!

I was SOOO the nester, but I did things that didn't matter... like scrapbooking and organizing the files on my computer. I was all superstitious about doing too much for Jamie...Like if I washed all of her pink clothes, she would be a boy. ahhh.... sweet, sweet horomones... how they drive us women crazy.

I see I am not the only one that can't stand it when you let too much time go by between blogs. I thought I was going to have to email you and say, "we need an update". You have reached another mile-stone.....35 WEEKS! Woo hoo.
I continue to pray for all of you.
