And Here I Am!

Yikes!!!! Where did that belly come from!?! This is a picture of me at 28 weeks. I'm 29.5 weeks right now. I go to the doctor again this week, but when I was there two weeks ago, I had my glucose test (no gestational diabetes for me!!!) and my doctor and I briefly discussed my labor plan. I really just want to go into labor on my own and hopefully have a natural delivery. I had a C-Section with Blake and want to avoid having to go through that at all costs. Everyone thinks I'm crazy to want to go into labor, but I don't care. I want to have that experience for myself. And it sounds easier to just schedule a C-Section, but it's not easier for me and the healing process is twice as long. My doctor is fine with me trying to go into labor and delivery the baby on my own. He said he'll do an ultrasound at 37 weeks just to see how big the baby is (since Blake was nearly 9 pounds) and we'll sort of devise our final plan at that time. I'm excited!

We've pretty much chosen the final name for our baby girl. We knew that we wanted to incorporate Kendall in her name as it's a family name and has a lot of significance for me and the Kendall side of the family. We've chosen Kendall to be her first name and Reese as her middle name. We were going to go with Kendall Grace, but it seems like the name Grace is everywhere these days and we like to be a little different with our names (nothing wrong with Grace at all--it's very pretty!). So, anyway, I think that's going to be her name!

We're just trying to get ready for Miss Kendall to come join our family. My shower is in about 3 weeks and I can not wait! Bryce's sister and two of our friends are throwing me a brunch shower on the 27th! I've pretty much been hybernating in my house the past couple of months, so it will be so fun to see all of my friends and open all of the fun pink baby girl stuff! I'll be posting here and there trying to catch up on everything that's happened since Thanksgiving! I seriously have not downloaded any pictures onto my computer since before we went on our trip to Kansas in November! I've got everything downloaded now and just have to work on updating my blog! Hope everyone's well!
