Baby Update

Well, Baby Cook will be making his/her arrival in just 3 short weeks! I really did forget how tiring the third trimester can be. Especially since Miss Maggie has been giving me a run for my money lately...not sure if she anticipates the changes that are about to come or she is just two now and this comes with the territory. It is now an hour and 20 minutes after I put her down for her nap, and I think she JUST got quiet. I love that she is verbal, but telling me over and over that she doesn't need a nap and doesn't want to go night night doesn't fly!

Back to baby...I went to the doctor today and am still on schedule for my March 6 C-section. I've had some contractions and the baby has moved down a bit, but she didn't anticipate me going in to labor before my C-section. If I were to go into labor, she said that I am more than welcome to try laboring and having this baby the old fashioned way if I want, but if I make it to 39 weeks (which is my surgery date) go ahead and have the C-section. Kind of undecided on that one. So, for now, I'll take it as easy as I can and enjoy the next three weeks!!

On another note, my friend Christy's baby shower was this weekend. It is always good to get together with the college friends. We had a great time!! I really do love that we are still such good friends after all these years. Maggie absolutely adored playing with them and my friend Natalie's daughter Ella.



And one of Maggie and her true Valentine:)
