Fully Cooked by now
So this week (week 37), our baby is considered full term and should be healthy if she was born from this week on! My belly button is out permanently…so she must be thoroughly done by now!
It’s been an interesting week. Monday I had a bought of false labor or really regular Braxton Hicks contractions–I think it was brought on by a Starbucks Green Tea Frappachino. (Too much caffeine!!)
Doctor appointments are going well. Last week, I was 1 cm dialated and 50% effaced. Today, 2 cm dialated and 70% effaced. She seemed to think that baby has progressed well, although she was faced up instead of face down like she should be for labor. She still has time for that.
Friends and family have been taking polls about when she’ll make her grand entrance! I’ve heard everything from 3 days from now to first week of June! I don’t think there’s any money to be won…yet!
There are several things that you can be praying for: healthy baby, getting our favorite doctor for the delivery, strength, safe trip for my mom as she frantically makes her way out here, and that Jonathan wouldn’t faint in the room!
Love
K & J

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about Jonathan fainting, he’s a tough guy! But I bet he will cry!!! (tears of happiness!) Love, Melissa

HOW EXCITING Jonathan and Katrina!!!! Just a matter of days…..Jonathan won’t faint, but he will cry–like his sister said.
I’m predicting May 19th as the delivery date.
Best of luck in the delivery room and after!
Cheers,

Hi Katrina and Daddy and Baby
I’ve lost your email in changing computers but got the website from Patricia. So exciting to see and hear about Baby. The best is yet to come — holding her in her arms!! It’s worth everything. God bless you all and I’ll be praying for all of you. And I agree, Jonathan won’t faint.
Love and hugs in Jesus,
Sue

Thank you for the update. I have been bad about calling you two. My sister and cousin are here right now and keeping me busy. I am so excited for you all! I can’t wait to hear the wonderful news of the birth.
I will be praying for all three of you.
Blessings
