15 days (max.) and counting

Well, we've been given the thumbs up to be induced a week early, so that means that at my appointment next Tuesday we'll be setting my "appointment" to be induced. So, unless Aiden decides to join this world on his own, we've chosen March 14 as the magical day. One of my friends, Trish, works in the nursery at Williamson Medical Center, so I am very excited about that. We are excited to be able to have him at the same hospital as Calvin and are even more fortunate that she may be there. She was one of Dalton's nurses when he was at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, which makes me feel even better that we will have someone with such a strong background.

We had our last look at Aiden this morning and although it was hard to see him because he's so big, it was still pretty cool. We were able to see him moving his mouth, so we may have another pacifier baby on our hands. Either his head stopped growing or his body has caught up... he was measuring right on track with both measurements, which makes me feel a lot better. He weighed about 7 lbs, 5 oz, which is still pretty big. She did say that there is a 17 oz. margin of error, so he could be as little as 6 something or as big as 8 something. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

I've tried to plan ahead and get things started for Calvin's 2nd birthday. Hank & Christine will be visiting in May, so we're hoping to have his party while they're. Poor kid... we always seem to have his birthday party a couple of weeks late. Calvin's birthday always falls right in the middle of finals... FUN TIMES! Calvin is getting so big and is loving the heck out of his daddy these days. He is also a big fan of Uncle Mike and even dissed daddy for Uncle Mike this weekend. As I'm sure people can imagine, daddy was a little hurt.

Well, we'll make sure to keep this updated in case Aiden decides to join us before March 14. Until then, hope all is well with everyone!
