Baby Sister

No, she hasn't arrived yet, thankfully, but there has certainly been a lot of talk around here about her. One of E's little friends got to meet his brand-new baby brother this week, so I guess E thought he'd be meeting his little sister too when we told him we were going bye-bye to go to dinner. He said excitedly "See Bebe Sister!" then I explained "No, she's still in Mommy's tummy, see? But she'll be here soon." This apparently did not appease him because when we pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant, he said "Bebe Sister, comin'! See bebe sister!" He was a little disappointed I think, but the fact that he got pizza for dinner seemed to distract him. :)

Here I am at 36 weeks:
We sure are excited to meet this little girl. Not sure when it's going to happen seeing as I'm already dilated to a 2 and 85% effaced. (I'm sure you all wanted to know the status of my cervix.)

Stay tuned for a post about our fun visitor, Aunt Nannie!

We are all excited for "Bebe Sister". I really can't imagine you're going to last another month. I'm on standby!

Oh my goodness! How EXCITING! Please keep us updated on the status of your cervix as often as you know about it.

Also, you look FABULOUS.

Sounds like E is totally ready to officially obtain his Big Brother status! And and the rate you're going, that really could be any day, eh? Good luck! And you look fabulous, by the way. :)

Happy Birthday, Melinda! I keep checking your blog to see if she has arrived yet! I'm sure she will be here soon. That is great that you are 85% effaced and already dilated. Keep us all posted!

What?! No fair! You can't have her early. That's going to make my next 6 weeks DRAAAAAG.

Just kidding. I've decided I wouldn't wish being pregnant in July on my worst enemy. It's unpleasant, wouldn't you say? :)

Also, I've been preparing to make a post just like this about Sadie's fascination with "Baby Sister." I think her excitement about the whole idea is so much fun! So I'll totally be copycat-ing you.

That's cute Emerson is actually somewhat understanding what the heck is going on...Tucker is clueless! I'm definitely jealous you have a few weeks on me...this summer pregnancy stuff is about killing me!

You had better be prepared for a home delivery, just in case!!! (I don't mean to frighten you! You do have access to good medical help, don't you?)Your picture is soooo cute, E will love his BEBE. (Tweeb used to pray every night for a baby and then run to look on the couch in the morning to see if there was a baby waiting.)It took ten years to get Brooke! :)

You look adorable and I love all the posts as usual...especially got a laugh out of the bread one. :) When is your due date again? I'm having my bebe on Aug. 4th. and can't WAIT to get her out of me!:)
