38 WEEKS!!!!!!!!

So to change it up a bit, Janelle has been trying to get a video of the rolling baby girl does now, but as soon as the camera is on, she somehow knows and refuses to perform! So while this still doesn't do the belly dancing justice, it is at least a taste of what this little one subjects Janelle's insides too ALL DAY LONG! The best movement can be seen with a big kick right at the beginning and then some good rolling at about 50 seconds. Feel free to fast forward, we realize staring at a big belly isn't that exciting.

Janelle is very ready for labor to begin, she's even past the scared and nervous stage and on to the "let's get this show on the road stage, some pain for a few hours/days is going to be better than continuing to feel like a walking bowling ball".

As we've mentioned before we have been speculating what this little one will look like; will she have dark hair like Matt, reddish hair like Janelle, freckles, straight or curly hair, Matt's mouth, Janelle's cheeks... what? So Janelle found a program online that will morph two pictures, so for fun made a potential Matt and Janelle kiddo. O.k. so its more creepy than anything else, but here were the results:


Otherwise, our lives are consisting of filling in last minute baby items, more doc appointments, setting up daycare, pediatrician, finalizing work schedules and thinking things like "next month at this time, we'll have a baby in the house..... crazy!"

Its the Final Countdown!

Ok we know that we have been very neglectful of the blog. Despite that we're going to keep it relatively short and sweet. Time has been absolutely flying by but we have packed in a lot in the last several weeks. Two visits from Matt's parents at Thanksgiving and Christmas, which were fun as always! A baby shower for Janelle, visits with Janelle's family for Christmas, lots and lots of doctor visits including an ultrasound that all the baby's grandparents got to be a part of, Matt's birthday and celebration with friends and family, a very uneventful New Years, our cat Tony running away at the beginning of December, a new addition of another orange kitty a week ago, and sadly the passing of Janelle's grandfather. Whew that sums it up. Obviously what is in the forefront of our minds is the impending arrival of our baby girl Camille, which if Janelle had her way would be now!

The baby should be here in just about 3-4 weeks, the room is all ready and Janelle is too. Matt is still wrapping his head around the reality of fatherhood, but couldn't be more excited! :)

36 Weeks

Janelle is very proud of the fact that she has no stretch marks, not that she has any control over that, but still....
