It's the home stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm on the home stretch now and doing the final preparations for Megan. She should be here in about 3 weeks and we're all very excited about it. Caleb keeps asking me if she's coming yet and wants her to come 'right now'!!!!! It's very cute. Hey, at least he's excited...for now at least. I think he's going to make a great big brother although I'm sure there will be some adjustments. He's a very well behaved boy and is looking forward to meeting his sister. Here's the latest pic of me with Megan poking out...it was taken yesterday.


I went to the doctor yesterday as well and everything is looking right on track. She's estimated to be about 6 pounds right now and doctor expects her to be somewhere around 7 pounds, just like her brother was. I'm all registered at the hospital so when I go into labor I just go directly to the L & D ward and they check me right into a room. I can't wait to see what Megan's going to look like!

As many of you know, I had a c-section with Caleb. I am really wanting to try for a normal birth this time, so please pray that all will go as planned and Megan will be born naturally. My doctor is willing to let me try, but they really seem to like to do c-sections here quite quickly. So, please pray that all will go well and that we can have the normal birth. This really means a lot to me!!!

We moved Caleb out of his old room and into his new 'big boy' room about a month ago. He's loving it. We painted it and got him a new bedding set which helped to make it more exciting. We're waiting for a Cars wall border to come from the states to put up in his new Car themed room. He loves the new room, so that's good since we've made his old room into his sister's room. Here's some pics of his new room.




We're finishing Megan's room up as well and we're quite happy with how it's turning out. We're going with a ladybug theme as well as some flowers. It's light pink, dark pink, and red. We've still gotta get some curtains and put some stuff on the walls, but other than that, it's pretty well finished. Here's some pics of her room.
