Here's The Nursery...Where's The Baby?

Baby Montgomery's nursery is all set! Family members are standing by... I can't call anyone anymore with crushing the sound of excitement in their voice when they realize that I am just calling to chat... and that the baby isn't on her way just yet. We are trying to stay patient! Here are some really cute pics of the Baby Montgomery's room. I've even given you a HUGE clue as to what her name will be. Check out the poll and place your votes! We have had so much fun getting her room ready to go! It is filled with so many wonderful things, thanks to all of our family and friends. Thank you all so much!! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. We were hoping for a baby from Santa this year but I think Baby Montgomery has decided she'd rather be born on New Year's or maybe the day the Buckeye's beat LSU in the National Championship Game...

(I secretly hope she's here to help us cheer them on in person!) I do hope that my next post is all about the arrival of our new little girl... Love to all!

"All We Want For Christmas is a Baby Girl!"

Today Nicholas and I went in for another ultrasound. Dr. Mini order one more for us so we could track the weight of our precious little girl. Her Mama was 8lds 13oz when she was born so Dr. Mini wanted to be see just how big Baby Montgomery would be mid-December. She is officially 6lbs right now! Her expected delivery weight is about 7.5 to 8lbs. She is very healthy. We could see again today that she was head down...and by the way that head is covered in hair!!! We watched as she kicked mom in the ribs a few times and made a fist with her hand. The technician checked every organ in her body and all look great! After the checking we zoomed in a bit to be sure we were still having a baby girl. We could see her labia loud and clear. Daddy told the technician he would take her word for it (because she is getting so big and is so scrunched up it is hard to see just what you are looking at.) We also zoomed in close for a view of her face. For this the technician switched from 3D to 4D so we could see her in more detail. Silly little girl was rubbing her eye the entire time we were catching a glimpse of her sweet little face. You can see this in the pictures I've posted. Daddy and I both agree that she is a very beautiful baby girl (we're already very bias of course.) We are very excited to meet her. I have four more days of school and then I am going to be busy at home trying any home remedy to induce labor...so if you have any tips be sure to leave a comment! I keep telling her, there is no reason to wait until next Christmas to meet Santa...not when she could come early and meet him this year!

One Centimeter and a Wiggle

Baby Montgomery and I had an appointment on Tuesday. We found out that I am "one centimeter and a wiggle, " dilated! I was excited to hear that I had made at least some progress towards the big DDay. Baby Montgomery has taken all necessary steps herself- to get ready for the big day. The nurse could feel her head!! Which means she is in the right position. Her job is done. Now all she has to do is sit back, relax and gain a few pounds. She is weighing in now at about 4.5 to 5lbs and she's ~19inches long! Nick and I are going to be scheduling another ultrasound soon. Be looking for pictures! Our next appointment is Thursday, December 13th.
