Stubborn baby!!

I keep telling her that if she doesn't come out...her name's MUD, not Elli!!!!!! Hahahaha......just kidding baby!! Anyway, I didn't want to post because I didn't want to bump that dang goose down on the blog. But I guess the goose's moment of glory is over. Sorry. Okay, everyone needs to see how crazy this goose thing is. She has all these outfits like a dress-up doll and most of them are pretty cute and clever. Don't you worry that I tried the outfits on her when I first met the goose. Spoiled goose.....more clothes than most humans. Oh, and Melissa, that Christmas pic is so cute!! Who ever has a Mrs. Claus in their picture? That's pretty special!! Cute!

Okay, so none of you need to worry. We are taking the cell phone to the hospital and once we have her, we'll let you all know. It might be a quickie call but we'll for sure call. No worries. But I haven't had much progress. I haven't dialated at all but my cervix is softening. Big whoop.....cervixes can soften for weeks before anything happens. If any of you have seen me get a bit emotional, well, multiply that by about 20 and that is how I have been lately. I don't know what it is but I am a crazy woman now. Always antsy, uncomfortable, happy, excited, hypersensitive.......and a big cry baby. I hate it. Oh, but the doctor did schedule me to be induced on my due date. That's kind of big news. So for sure we will have her by the 19th. I don't have to wait the "one week" after the due date like some. But I am hoping she'll still come early. Like maybe this weekend! :o) Everyone say big prayers that this big baby will GET OUT OF ME!!!!

One more piece of news. Do you guys remember me talking about my older sister Shannon? She's the second oldest in our fam (37 yrs old) and has never been married? If you remember my wedding, she was the grumpy one helping me with my dress and stuff. Anyway, she got engaged over thanksgiving. She's getting married in June. Great huh?? She's like a whole new girl now...it's great. She's so happy and so are the rest of us. Anyway, just had to let you guys know.

That is SO exciting about your sister. That's funny how you described her. As soon as you said the grumpy one about your wedding stuff, I was like, oh ok. That is just SO exciting!! And yes, start just pushing really hard...maybe Elli will come out. Or eat some really spicy food...that'll give her a little kick. Haha, just kidding! Well, we are so excited for you to have this baby!!! LOVE YOU! Katie
