Looking Forward to Baby #2
On Saturday, my precious sister an Mom had a really special luncheon in honor of Baby #2. What a wonderful time with friends it was as we at lunch (really yummy) visited, and we were spoiled with some awesome gifts that we really appreciate!
All the special ladies (and babies!) at the shower.
I love my sister!! I'm so thankful to live under 2 hours away from her now. :)
Here I am with 2 of my dearest friends, Amy and I have known each other since high school and Joy and I have been friends since college. I felt so honored that they were able to come!
Joy's little boy, Charlie, and Davis had so much fun together. I loved getting to see them play and interact!
Me at 34 weeks! In other news: Our precious Davis has been staying with Grandma and Gramps since after the shower for Dan and I to have a date weekend! (which was absolutely awesome!! -- nothing like being able to go see a movie and then to dinner while not worrying about nap times or bedtimes!)
I was supposed to pick him up today! Well... after going to the doctor this and finding out I'm about 1 1/2cm dilated... I received orders to be careful what I do especially over the next 2 weeks, my mom and dad have offered to keep Davis for a little while longer. I'm ready to have him back NOW! But, Dan and I realize that we could use a day to regroup and play the "what if" and "what do we need to do" in case our little one decides to make an early appearance. (Davis was born at 37 weeks...) I know a lot of people are dilated for a long time and their babies go full term (any encouraging words from those folks?!!!) Our doctor just wants us to remain on the safe side. :)
Please pray for us as we are away from Davis and for our little one to stay in his nice comfy home for at least 2 more weeks!

i was one of those people that was dilated for 7 weeks at 2cm with jai...your little guy really would be fine at this point too-specially stateside!! just make your hubby do more of the lifting and take it easy with heavy objects aka davis. : ) looking forward to the exciting news when it happens!!
SO glad to see you too! You look absolutely beautiful and happy! (and how cool to get to see Dan too!)
So, now it's time for you to sit down and put those feet up for LONG periods of time...no walking around, standing around, doing anything busy. Rent some movies, get some magazines, read books -- but stay put so baby #2 will stay in just a little longer -- but we can't wait to meet him soon!
ellen you look gorgeous! what a fun lunch!
i contracted regularly from 33 weeks onward and they had to go in and get eli at the end. =) keep off your feet and keep yourself well hydrated. i could tell a HUGE difference when i didn't drink enough. (they did tell me that he would be fine after 34 weeks if he decided to come early, though.)
i'm so glad they checked you so that you know to take it easy!
Hey Ellen! Its Robbie! I know nothing about being dilated now but I wanted to say I'm so excited for you and Davis is the cutest thing. I promise to keep in contact better in the future and cannot wait to hear about the birth of this little one. Email me:tngodchic@bellsouth.net
