Please give me patience

Today marks one week since Taylor's due date and only 3 days until her induction date of 1/5. What an exercise in patience and a reminder that we are not in control of everything in life.

I believe that God gives us what we need not what we want, but it is so difficult to swallow when the joy that will fill the rest of your life is still possibly days away. Waiting for something has never been so difficult in all my life.

Mike has never been more supportive, compassionate, attentive and wonderful, and I know he is anxious as well. Our daydreams of a Christmas baby have come and gone, as have our hopes for a child with a birthday as unique as 1/1/11. With only 4 possible birthdates left, I'm sure we will make it; we just need to find something to keep us distracted until then... and something to give us patience until she arrives. :-)

We are anxiously awaiting your arrival, Taylor, and so is the rest of the family. We love you already and hope you are happy, healthy and comfy inside.

How BIG can she get?!

Well, we're only a few days from her due date and she is still not ready to come out.
Doctor said today that they will schedule a back-up induction date for January 5th if she doesn't come before then.

Come on Taylor! We want to meet you! Aren't you done cooking yet? Please come before the year ends!

The baby bump at 16 weeks

14 Weeks

Not a planned visit or sonogram. Some pain from the scar tissue and fibroids sent me to the ER for an afternoon. Doctor recommended it to make sure everyone was ok.


Happy to report everyone was fine.
This was the best photo from that visit... still not sure if it's a he or a she. But at least baby is healthy.









This is the baby "bump" at about 14 weeks...

Our little peanut is growing and growing!

And there he/she is at 12 weeks!
Hard to believe you can already make out a cute little button nose, and a pair of pouty lips.
Can't wait to find out if he/she is a he or a she!
If it's a girl, we like "Taylor Colleen George".
If it's a boy, we like "Taylor Jonathan" or "Taylor Matthew George".

Only 3 more weeks until our next sonogram at 20 weeks... maybe we'll find out then!

Our Bigger Peanut at 7 weeks

Hard to believe he/she has nearly DOUBLED in size in only 1 week...

Can't wait for our next picture on 6/14th at 12 weeks! And really looking forward to finding out the sex. I have a feeling it's a boy, but Mike's not so sure. So far, we both like the name Taylor for either a boy or a girl, but we'll see...

Our Little Peanut at 6 weeks

Showing the heartbeat... at only 6 weeks! Truly AMAZING!
