2 weeks and 2 days left!!! (Not that we are counting)

So it appears we are rounding third base and headed home!! We are so excited that we can hardly stand it :) Jennifer keeps saying it is like having a present under the Christmas tree and not being able to open it for 9 months (or 10 months really..for those of you who know the truth!!!).

Jennifer went for a checkup a few days ago, and everything seems to be going well. The ob doc is fairly sure that the baby's head is in the down position (as it should be!), but is not 100% sure. She will do an ultrasound next week to confirm this! Jennifer is pretty convinced that the head is down also, as she often feels little feet in her ribs.

Hannah is continuing to make her preparations (in her own way, of course). For example, she has been testing out Jaycie's swing and carseat for safety. She's a great big sister for doing this :) This "testing" involves Hannah crawling into the swing or carseat and getting into full "baby" character (complete with "googoo" sound effects). Last week, Jennifer heard Hannah calling out "Mommy..stuck"..."help me"..."Stuck!". Jennifer went into Jaycie's nursery and found Hannah in Jaycie's infant bathtub. Let's just say, she was wedged in there pretty tight!! :) The final way that Hannah has been making preparations for Jaycie's arrival is by taking care of her stuffed animals and calling them "baby". Everything that is smaller than her is now a "baby", and she loves to rock them and pat them. It's very cute!! On a side note, she still thinks that Jennifer has two more babies (one is each breast).

OK, so we will keep everyone updated as we can. Our goal is to post information on this site as soon as possible after delivery. For those of you who are wanting a call, we have made a pretty extensive phone number list to take with us to the hospital. If you want to make sure you are on that list, just email Jennifer with your number at jenfort@sbcglobal.net

So now we just wait...
