Any day now!!

So we're officially to term (week 37) and Aiden could be joining us any day now!! :) Can you believe it?!

We had our checkup yesterday and it went great! The doctor started by telling us he would guess we had a few more weeks to go..but then he did the internal exam and realized how low and settled Aiden is already. He said that as soon as labor starts, we're good to go! Aiden is big enough now that he would be perfectly healthy if he were born today! Yay!! We did it!!!!! The Dr says based on the growth rate up until this point, Aiden will most likely be about 6.5 pounds when he's born. Weather that's next week or 4 weeks from now is completely up to Aiden!





The nursery is completely ready and waiting! :) It looks so great and I'm so excited about how it turned out!







Everything else has been going great! Dan and I have been going on a lot of dates with just the two of us, trying to get some good alone time in while we still can. We are so unbelievably excited for Aiden to get here too! Dan has the diaper bag all packed up and ready to go and we've already set out Aiden's take home outfit from the hospital.

Dan just recently got hired on with a security company to keep him busy until he can get on with a police agency. He's passed the interviews with a few different agencies and is still working his way through the rest of the processes but they're going well!

Other than that, we're just waiting!! Waiting for Aiden to decide he wants to evacuate and join us! :)

The countdown continues!

Can you believe it?! Only a month and a half to go until Aiden is here! If Dan had it his way, I would have delivered a couple weeks ago, but I am glad Aiden has had this much time to grow and get ready for life in this big big world.

So much has happened lately! My baby shower was a huge success and I couldn't have been happier with the way it all turned out! There are no words to really say how much I appreciate everything my mom and Sarah did!





Dan has started his terminal leave from the army is home full time right now and pretty much bored out of his mind. He's continuing to test with different police agencies and progressing through their various processes. He's been keeping busy with getting everything all ready for Aiden around the house and the nursery.



Aiden and I are continuing to grow! I can't believe how round I've gotten!! Aiden is approximately 5 lbs and 17 inches already!! Just a pound or two to go and he can come out already!!



Other than that, I survived a kidney infection with no pain meds! I was running a fever of over 102 degrees for about 3 days straight and in quite a bit of pain, but the positive side is, I'm not so scared of labor anymore because at least it comes with an epidural!! :)

Dan and I are just relaxing together for the next few days and working a bit more on organizing the nursery. I'm officially in my nesting stage and have been going crazy around the house. We can't wait! Hurry up Aiden!!
