Hi little one!
Well, we are one day further with you than any of our other pregnancies - we have never had a pregnancy with our water staying in tact this long. Each day with you is new territory. We had kind of a bad weekend, kiddo! Friday night, your Aunt-by-friendship Debbie took me to dinner for my birthday and I started having several cramps. Turned out they were just some tummy cramps so I relaxed. Yesterday, I was up at 7 with terrible cramps. I don't know if they were tummy cramps or cramps to your area of the tummy both either way, your dad and I flipped out. We ended up staying home and just relaxing all day to be sure. It was a pretty long day. You have been fine since then and we relaxed a little.
I ran a new name by your dad today. I don't think he was overly excited about it. He had some stupid movie on last night and the main character was Finn. I really liked that. I guess you would have to be Finnegan. Do you get the feeling that you won't have an official name until your birth certificate is printed? That is probably pretty close to being true! Luckily, the poll on your blog has Alexander as the front runner - if it would be Sebastian, I would be hosed :)
I worked on your blog book today and got 4 pages done today. I think I have created a sticky situation I can't get myself out of. Since I started telling you about your family, I think people are expecting to see their stories. I have had two questions in 3 days about when their posts are going to be. Guess I am going to have to do shorter introductions and get everyone in. Don't want any hurt feelings because we need all the babysitters we can get when you arrive!
Today is your Uncle Zach's birthday! He is 17. Can you believe your ancient mom has a 17 year old brother? I can't decide if that makes me feel older or younger! I will have to write about him later so you can get to know him better. Zach is the last of our grandkids. Now, everyone is awaiting the arrival of the great grandbabies. Poor Great Gramma Lang said (only half kidding, I think) that she was going to die without any Great Grandbabies. No pressure - but there is a lot riding on you kiddo :) If I had to put money on it, I would say your cousin Cory is her next shot at some Great Grandbabies. Totally possible that one of your other cousins could beat him but my money is on him.
Not much going on this week for you. I am sure we will stalk you with our heart monitor. Today, you were really active and were kicking it! I think you were telling us to leave you alone and give you some privacy. Thursday (if you have already forgotten) is your old mom's birthday. Your dad and I are off work on Thursday & Friday. We are hoping to go to Linoma Beach but that is the extent of our plans. It will be just so nice to be off work!
