Apparently Kelly’s due date is actually July 14th.  I feel like we’ve been living a lie this entire time. Regardless, it’s still super close.  Kelly is feeling as good as expected.  She’s uncomfortable, but luckily she gets to work from home until baby comes, so she gets to be a little more comfortable than she would if she were in the office all day.  Baby should weigh in at 7 1/2 pounds, or about the size of a small pumpkin.  You usually don’t really eat pumpkins, but I like that analogy way more than the Leek in week 39.

Her Doctor said if she doesn’t go into labor by next Friday the 18th or Monday the 21st, they are going to induce her.  So this Monday we go to the Doctor to check her progress and then get the plan for moving forward.  Either way, baby should be here within a little over a week at the latest. It’s a pretty exciting time.  This morning I spoke to one of the people at the Doctor’s office she used to go to when she was pregnant before.  Seems like we haven’t spoken to them in forever. Kelly went weekly for about 10 weeks, so I feel like we got to know them pretty well.  It seems like Kelly has been pregnant for years, and it’s so hard to believe how far we’ve come from where we were.  Back when we were going through everything it seemed like we would never get this far and I didn’t think it’d ever happen.  Hopefully the last week or so continues to go well.

We’re really starting to think now about what it will be.  Boy? Girl?  Will it have a lot of hair (probably, I have phenomenal hair)? Who will it look like? Whose nose will it have? Kelly already thinks it has her lips, I’d be OK with that.  But also, what if it hates us?  At what age can we expect the first “I Hate you” or “Whatever!”  If we have a girl, who’s the little jerk that’s gonna try and feel her up at her Prom with his dirty booger hands?  God, I’m sick over it.  God, I hope it’s a boy. What if we forget them somewhere (mostly I worry about that)?  Maybe people don’t really think about that stuff once the baby comes?  Maybe it’s just the anticipation?  Maybe I just worry about everything? I’m pretty sure all are true.

Didn’t get a chance to get a picture of Kelly today, but will be sure to post one later.
