The end is near!

Tonight will be the last night for Joslyn to hibernate in my belly...
It's pretty surreal to think she could be here, this time tomorrow.  (BABY UPDATE) - Today we had our doctor's appointment, when Dr. Mata came in, I had her look at my swollen feet then I mentioned and today was my last day of work!  She asked Tyler and I "Do you want to be induced tomorrow???"  meaning..Thursday, all along Tyler and I thought Friday...Tyler's response "I have to work!" HAHAH, I thought that was super funny...we both were in shock, I just sat there in silence for about 15 seconds, then I said "Sure~!"  So this is where we are at now, we'll be induced on Thursday, Jan. 7, 20l0 - we aren't sure on what time yet, we have to call in the morning at 5:30 to Woman's hospital to see what time we need to arrive for the induction.  That's pretty funny to think we're setting a time to have our baby, after all these 41 weeks, wow!  Thursday could be an eventful day in Houston, could there be snow (again?) and will she be here during the 4th quarter of the National Championship game (as Ms. Redwine has predicted)???  We shall see!!  This little sweet thing, already knows how to make her debut into the world...well I guess she is getting a little help, but that's fine by me.  Please keep us in your prayers that she makes it here safely and that the delivery goes well.  I know she can't wait to meet all of you!  OH and by the way, from what the doctor has said, by the size of my belly, lil' Joslyn will be quite an oinker...Dr. Mata thinks she'll weigh between 7.5-8lbs, I was in shock, yet again!  But I guess I can believe it because in the past 2 weeks, I have gained 9 lbs! 
(I hope this all makes sense, I feel that I'm typing/rambling on adrenaline), if you can't tell, I'm super excited!  I can't wait to hold her and see her precious little face!  I sure hope I'll be able to sleep tonight, I know I will need it!  ~Mommy and Daddy already love you so much Joslyn!

Still waiting for Joslyn...

We are still patiently waiting for Joslyn to arrive, her due date was January 1, 2010.  Although, that would have been a great birthday for her to have, I guess there are more reasons why she hasn't made it into our world just yet.  The waiting game, is very hard, it has taught Tyler and I patience...for sure.  Since tomorrow is Monday (Jan. 4) and still no labor signs or baby, I guess I will head into work...my next doc appt is on Wed (the day it'll possibly snow, again)...I'm thinking Wed. will be my last day to work, maybe Tues.  It's so strange how all along I kept thinking she would be here (early)...I never had imagined her being this late, but in a way it's good since there were a couple of very important people that were out of town this weekend.  I'm glad that they will be back in town for Joslyn's arrival!  If Joslyn continues to keep us waiting...the doctor will induce on Friday, Jan. 8.  So until then, we will continue to wait and pray for our lil' angel to get here!
