38 weeks

It has been far too long, I apologize! There are so many things we have been trying to cram in before baby comes. Since the last post we had a fantastically amazing baby shower hosted by my mom and sister, had my maternity photo shoot with Jac, we (together with our families) put together the baby furniture and decorated the nursery, got the stroller and carseat ready to rock and went on a baby moon to Kohler, WI where we stayed at a spa and got massages, pedicures and endless rounds of tea, snacks and wine (for Ryan!). All the while, baby G has become very comfortable with resting its butt on my bladder...aka this baby is breech and it doesn't look like it's flipping anytime soon. Based on the position, I am scheduled for a c-section one week from TODAY!

I'm not thrilled about a c-section but I have had a lot of time to process the information. It will be so strange lying on the OR table being the patient instead of the one holding the suction or retracting a body part. Since we don't know the sex, I was really looking forward to that moment where I labored, pushed and had this "ahhhhhhhhhh" (angels singing) moment where the baby came out and we met our son or daughter. Oh well, that peanut has to come out one way or another.

I want to thank you for following the blog and sorry again for the delays between posts. It has been a fairly uneventful pregnancy- but full of firsts for Ryan, I and our families. As they say it takes a village to raise a child and we know all of of our loved ones will help us create a loving, creative, fun and ever-changing environment for our little one. We can not wait to share the news with you! All our love,

Niki & Ryan
