Full Term!

I had a doctor's appointment this morning for my 37 week check up. I am not dilated AT ALL, but, she is head down. Her heart beat is still very strong and my blood pressure is awesome. He said that the 1st baby is usually stubborn...I just hope she comes sooner than later! We just can't wait to meet her! I go back next Wednesday (if she isn't here by then ;) ) to see if there is any more progress. I started having a few contractions yesterday, so hopefully those will get the ball rolling!

Other than that, Brian's Grandma Shoub passed away Saturday morning unexpectedly. They believe that she had a brain aneurysm - she would've been 80 on November 3rd. So, Saturday we made the 8 hour drive and came back last night after the funeral. Very long weekend and first of the week. She was a huge part of Brian's life, and we are all going to miss this very sweet lady. Here is a picture of us with her at our wedding last year:

We are STILL trying to close on Daddy's business. Hopefully that'll get done before I go into labor. Ugh. Yes, very big UGH.

As time draws nearer for Kenna to be here, I think more and more about how much I hate that Daddy isn't here to meet her...to hold her...he would have been the best Granddaddy. My heart hurts for him that he never got the opportunity to live it out. I will do my best to make sure Kenna and any of our other children know what a great man their Granddaddy was. I want to try my best for them to know him without ever meeting him. I hope that he shines through me.

I hope that everyone has a great rest of the week.

  1. Thanks, Carla, for that lovely tribute to Mom...she loved her grandchildren (and their choices for partners!) so very much. GREAT photo to post of her...everyone was so happy / everyone looks great in it! Looking forward to Kenna ... can't wait to hear the good news of her birth! Love, Aunt Jeni
