Baby Pool

So I am officially uncomfortable and past the point of logic. Shuler dropped 2 weeks ago and, although the doctor says there is no medical evidence that this means anything (she was no fun at all), I have decided that I think he's going to come early. Yes, I realize this may be wishful thinking. I get crampy whenever I do too much and am so swollen that I feel like my skin is going explode, so I've decided that this would be at least a little more fun if we started taking bets on when Shuler Lane will arrive. I am betting on my 37th week, which would be 3 weeks from today.
I am hesitant to do this because I hate this picture, but for those of you who would like to see proof that I am the size of a baby elephant, here is a picture from Christmas Eve:

33rd Week (Updated)

Merry Christmas Everyone! Things are good in baby land...32 week check-up went well. I had a rough week and had to have a preterm labor test, but it was negative and turns out I just need to stay off my feet a little more. We picked out paint for the nursery and Jason is working on it now, so we're getting closer. They have opened a Buy Buy Baby store in Columbia & Greenville and they are wonderful! So, I've opened a registry there. Mom is going to the doctor with me December 30th to check up on Baby Shuler.

We are so excited for Elizabeth & Matthew Lilienthal who had their baby boy this week and our friends Shanah & Rob Seneca who just welcomed Baby Harper into the world this morning! What wonderful Christmas gifts for them!

Also, there was another important birth this week:

JASON'S! My wonderful husband was born 32 years ago tomorrow :-)  Here are pictures of his very first birth day and his 28th!

We wish you all a wonderful holiday as we celebrate the most important birthday of all! XOXO from The Wilsons!

Shuler Preview...Jason on his 4th Birthday:

31 Weeks...

Here's a few random updates on Baby Shuler:

• Doctor's appointment last week went well. I'm still measuring on time and he's still just a little athlete. We go back every 2 weeks now - next one December 16th.
• I was wrong - I did not know what ENORMOUS was before. I'll post some pictures after the awesome baby shower we have on Saturday! According to BabyCenter Newsletter, our baby is about the weight of 4 Navel Oranges this week and in the midst of a growth spurt.
• Things have been hectic and therefore we have not finished the nursery, but we will let everyone know when we do.
• I should come with a warning label that says this: May cry irrationally, Will say anything that comes to mind, Gets very little sleep at night, Needs a restroom break every hour plus every time she stands up, Will talk obsessively about how huge/enormous/ridiculous her belly is...

This is from my BabyCenter Newletter this week & Cracked me up! (Mostly because it's true):
Fun baby shower games!
• Guess how many times she'll pee in the next ten minutes!
• When her belly button pops out, will the baby be done?
• Who can finish a half gallon of ice cream first?
• Guess where she left her keys!
