Not Long Now!

The latest developments on Baby Chase are quite interesting.  First of all, he is breech so that means I have to have a C-section.  I can't decide if I am glad, excited, or scared to death.  I am day to day with the doctor at this point.  I have to go Tuesday and Friday this week, have ultrasounds at every visit, and she may decide either day for me to have Chase. Basically, we have to be set on "go" from this point forward.  My blood pressure is better, but now with the breech position, she does not want me to go into labor!  

My mom and grandmother came this weekend for a shower 

that Jason's sister and mom had for me at Wyndike Country Club.  It was a wonderful shower.  A lot of Jason's family and our friends came.  It was a beautiful afternoon. We got a lot of nice gifts and just enjoyed the day. 

Here is a picture of me and some of my friends. The only thing missing was Brandie, who now lives in North Carolina.  Parties are not the same without her there with me!  Carissa (second from left) is 29 weeks pregnant in this picture, but she looks a lot smaller than I do!  I am hugely swollen from the extra fluid from the high blood pressure.  No fun at all.  I hate all pictures of me right now!  

Since my mom was here all weekend, we took the time to get the nursery finished for the most part.  Mom did most all of the work while I sat and watched since I am not allowed to do much. We had to get some very small clothes ready for Chase since he will be about 3 weeks early and may not weigh but a little over 5 lbs.  I even went out to Dillard's and bought an adorable premie outfit for him to wear home from the hospital as a "just in case" outfit.  I was not supposed to be shopping, but I wanted to pick it out for him myself.  There are pictures of the nursery below.

   

Now all we have to do is wait on Chase to arrive and sleep in his little bed!  Notice the big bed is still in his room for me or Jason to lay in there with him when he is first learning to sleep in his bed.   Keeping the cats out of the room will be a challenge.  Callie thinks the changing table is her bed.  The newness will wear off and I am sure once we start changing Chase there, she will want nothing to do with it!  

That is about it for what is going on with us.  Jason is still coaching baseball every night and his team is doing really well.  He is excited about the baby and can't wait for him to get here to go to games with Daddy or watch TV with Daddy!
