Still waiting ...

So, we are still waiting for "bump" to become "baby". We got a bit excited last night ... but it was only "Braxton Hicks" (however you spell that). I'm glad I now have a bit of an idea though of what to expect. My due date is tomorrow, and my parents are arriving Thursday night ... so, plenty to look forward to :0) We will let all of you know when the "new arrival" finally arrives. At last weigh in, the consultant estimated the baby is about 9 pounds (that was last week). Our gp thinks that is a "conservative" estimate and at my appointment on Monday, assured me that the baby definitely hasn't gotten any smaller ... so, our next consultant appointment is Thursday morning and we should find out the "plan" then. Here in Ireland, they only let you go 10 days past your due date before enducing. At least we know that my parents are guaranteed to see baby before they leave Ireland :0) Thank you for all your prayers and best wishes! We are feeling a small bit impatient, but we are also realizing we should be enjoying these last few days while we can!

Hi Christine :o)

I had my church homegroup pray for you and baby last night. I was telling them what a miracle this pregnancy has been and how everyone is so excited to meet Baby Carlaw :o) We/I'll keep praying for a safe delivery for mom and baby.

By the way, I know what worked for me was major cleaning before my in-laws arrived for a visit. Perhaps you're parents arriving will be enough to put you into labour :o)

Love You, Guys!

Tyler must have thought about you today, as soon as he came home from school he asked if you had, had baby yet. Nice huh?
This morning at breakfast I had said that today is Christine's due date, and baby could come anytime...food for thought!!
Hope all is well with the both of you and baby bump. :)

Since your baby doesn't seem to be in a hurry I was thinking about challenging you to a race... BUT... I was just at the doctor today and our baby doesn't seem to be in a hurry either!! Wish we lived closer so we could wait it out together!!!
