I'm weirdly calm today. I'm listening to Christmas music and working on picture projects on the computer. Kona is sleepy. Chris is working. Just like a normal day. Except that in a little over a day there will be another member of our family! I'm pretty sure other family members are freaking out way more that we are.
Church was great last night- just what I needed. Being so close to having a baby at Christmas time makes everything so special and more meaningful than ever. I kept thinking about Mary and how different it was for her. I'm so nervous about giving birth and I'll be comfortable in the hospital with people around catering to my every need. She gave birth in a barn with no one but Joseph to help her. It makes me appreciate her story and sacrifice that much more (especially because of I only had Chris to help me I'd be in trouble! ha ha).
I'm amazed at how fast these past nine months have gone by. At the same time I can't believe that the time is here for Baby Goose to come. Thanks to everyone for being so involved in this journey with us, so supportive of us, and so excited for us. Please continue to pray that Baby Goose has a healthy and happy entrance into the world. :)

12/20 Predictions
Blog Post By Chris:
I figured today I would put the predictions before they happened.
There are two predictions for today and they both were for a girl
The first is our friend Jed Wachter. He and his wife have two kids, so he is somewhat intelligent. His guess is 4:15 p.m. Still a chance
The second guess is Kati's friend from work Michelle. She and her husband have a 8 month old boy Zak. So good guess on the girl. She guessed 7:57 p.m.
That is it for predictions today.

No baby yet, but I have developed yet another lovely head cold.
Awesome. Perfect timing.
But if it is all I have to deal with in the next few days (besides delivering a baby of course!) I'll be just fine. :)
The plan is to go grocery shopping today...and then to a Christmas "Eve" service tonight even though it isn't really Christmas Eve. Our church does one early for those that are traveling for the holidays but still want the Bethlehem Christmas service. I'm thankful for that because we definitely won't make it on Christmas Eve! At the services there is always a family that plays the Holy Family (Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus) and I remember saying to Chris last year "Maybe next year that will be us." We ALMOST made it. Come on Baby Goose! :)

12/19 Predictions
Blog Post By Chris:
There were two predictions for today.
The first was one of my co-workers Alisha. She guessed Girl @ 11:14 a.m.
Second was our friend Alison Knutson. She guessed boy (wrong!)@ 11:32 a.m.
That's it for today, no baby yet.

12/18 Predictions
Blog Post By Chris:
So there were a few predictions for today's date.
My Aunt Karen guessed in the a.m. so we'll say 12 a.m.
Friend Jason Montgomery predicted 3:31 a.m.
And my Dad (who guessed the sex wrong so it doesn't count anyway) predicted 4 p.m.
Those are all the "wrong" guesses for 12/18. Stay tuned for more predictions.

My brain is fried so I'm going to be brief:
Rash this week-->better but still annoying
Hands/feet this week-->super puffy
Ultrasound today--> everything looks good
Doctor's appointment today--> great
Cervix today--> 2 cm dilated; 70% effaced
Membranes today--> stripped
Tuesday, Dec. 22nd--> if nothing happens over the weekend, a 6am scheduled induction!!!
So if all goes well, Baby Goose will make her debut in 4 days at the latest!

Mini Watermelon
Blog Post by Kati:
Week 39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
It is a bizarre feeling not knowing where we'll be in a day...a few days...a week. Home or hospital? No sleep for a good reason (baby) or no sleep for a dumb reason (itchy belly)? I am just really anxious to hear what the doctor has to say today! I'm trying to be really calm and rational and remind myself that when the baby is ready she'll make herself known...but I really just want that to be ASAP.
Last day of work until the end of February! And it is pajama day. Thank goodness.
Hospital bag is pretty much ready to go (at least my stuff and the baby's stuff is...Chris hasn't packed anything yet!) so we're just counting down the minutes...
