1 WEEK AWAY!!!

I can't believe it.  This time next week, we will be holding our son!!!  I have tried being so patient for the last 9 1/2 months (really, 5 years), but it is finally coming to the last few days.  I can't wait to meet and love Landon.

Yesterday, my belly measured at 41 weeks, 3 weeks ahead, which is keeping with how it has been going.  You can see how big I am in the picture below.  I am anxious to see if he ends up really being as big as he has been measuring.   A few days ago, when I saw the high-risk doctor, Landon was measuring 7lb 15 oz, about 1 1/2 weeks ahead.  Sam and I were both on the bigger side when we were born.  I weighed 7lb 15 oz. and Sam weighed 8lb 11 3/4 oz!

I go back to both the OBGYN and the high-risk doc for my last appointments on Monday.  I am kind of hoping that they miraculously say that he is ready to be born and that we can schedule the C-Section on Wednesday, instead of Friday.  Wouldn't 10-20-2010 (Wed) be a cool birthday?

Well, depending on how the following week goes, this might be my last blog entry before little Landon is here.   I will do my best to keep it up after he is born, but probably not right away.  I think I might be a little busy and sleep deprived.

 

38-week belly!

3 WEEKS LEFT!!!

I am so excited to say that I am 36 weeks and I only have 3 weeks left, until my C-Section on Oct. 22nd!!!

I can't believe that in 3 weeks (at the most), we will meet our son, Landon Emory Sexton, after waiting for him for 5 years!  What an amazing blessing from God!

I have started seeing both my OBGYN and my high-risk doctor weekly, so Landon is being well-monitored.  He is still a big guy.  At 35wks 5days, he was measuring 7lbs 2oz., which is 2 weeks ahead!  In the sonos, we can see some big cheeks and what I am told is lots of hair.  We shall see.  Today, I saw the OBGYN and things are definitely progressing as they should, at this point.

Since my last post, I had my last baby shower, hosted by my sister (Kristie), Aunt Susan, and Brooke.  It was so awesome.  The decorations were beautiful and they, appropriately, had a theme of "Sweetpea" throughout!  Thank you Kris, Aunt Susan, and Brooke!

Last week, Peekaboo Design (my friend, Kim Hendry's awesome business) set up and finished Landon's precious nursery.  Kim and her sidekick, Samantha, closed themselves in the room for about 4 hours and didn't let us in.   Once they were finished, they officially "revealed" the nursery to Sam and me, while videotaping us, for one of their showcases on ProjectPeekaboo.com.  I think I have that right.  Anyway, we were stunned at how different it looked after 4 hours.  That morning, they started with painted walls and the furniture, basically.  Four hours later, it looked like this...

                                                          

WE LOVE THE NURSERY!!!  Thank you, Kim and Samantha, for doing an amazing job!

Last weekend, Sam assembled the new swing, from Landon's Grandma (Carolyn), and installed the carseat.  So, with this and the nursery finished, I feel that if Landon decided to come early, we would be ready enough!

I will sign off with a current belly shot, since I haven't posted one of those in a while.
