There comes a point in every pregnancy - you know this if you've been pregnant - where you stop counting how far you've come and switch to HOW MUCH LONGER til this {sweet precious darling little} baby is out of me!
And that's where we've arrived at, friends. SEVEN WEEKS left. Or thirty-three weeks. But I like to say seven weeks left. Seven weeks left, seven weeks left! I'm saying that in kind of a sing-songy voice, and I'd be dancing around the room, if I could still dance without gasping for air. Not that I've tried dancing at this stage, of course. I'm just guessing that would be the case, since walking from the couch to the front door leaves me gasping for air.
I asked my doctor if he would induce me on February 15. I assumed it wouldn't be a big deal, since that's just one day before my due date. He was actually willing to induce me earlier than that, so he was totally fine with the 15th. Why the 15th, you ask? Well, because in my pregnancy head, I think it would be really cool to have all my kids born on the 15th of the month. Isn't that kinda neat? I don't think it's just hormonally induced, but I could be wrong. Ansley is September 15, Christian is January 15, and then she will be February 15. Neat, right? Right?
So anyway, that's the exciting news around here. Unless she decides to come early, which is highly unlikely considering my children aren't early, then she will be here February 15. Our sweet Valentine's baby.
I feel pretty good, considering. Oh, except my doctor thinks I may have kidney stones. Mostly because I said "I think I have kidney stones." I go tomorrow for an ultrasound of my kidneys. And then of course all the other stuff that I've been complaining about - it's still here.
But seven more weeks! I can do anything for seven more weeks.
Except dance.
Now, what is that a picture of???

Mimi, it's a picture of Megan's view of her feet, right? :)
So excited and have been HOPING AND PRAYING literally that you would have a third 15th baby!! Besides the fact that it's pretty stinking cool, it's easier for the friends to remember :)
Love and miss you!!

Very happy for you that it's only 7 more weeks until February 15th. :) I sure hope you don't have kidney stones. I did when I was pregnant with Sarah and Lydia. I'll pray!
