Almost time!

So it looks like the baby is very comfy! The doctor today said that not much has changed and she could see me still being pregnant by Sunday, so we're doing an induction tomorrow night! We go in at 8 pm Tuesday night and hope to welcome Baby Rosebrook on Wednesday sometime! The doctor said it could take awhile but a normal delivery is expected! We are so overjoyed and cannot wait!

Please keep us all in your prayers as we look forward to bringing our precious little one into this world.

Love you all,

Lauren and Brian (the very excited parents-to-be!)

40+ weeks!

Ok...no baby just yet. :) We have an appointment with our doctor tomorrow morning (monday) to see if I have made any progress. It looks like she (doctor) wants me to deliver sometime this week though so as not to go past 41 weeks.

We'll try and post another update tomorrow. I hope to be able to go to labor on my own and not have to be induced, but we'll see. It was a great Thanksgiving with Brian's parents and family and my parents and sister. We know we'll see everyone again real soon and can't wait to have them all meet little Baby Rosebrook. Brian and I are anxious but so excited and happy that the baby is cozy in my tummy. :)

39 weeks!

This picture shows that I am ready, huh? We want the baby to come when he/she is ready (just not too late please!). Healthy is all that matters. Family from both sides are coming in for Thanksgiving this week and it would be great to celebrate with the baby too. :)

I had some small contractions last night but they went away when I went to sleep. We'll see! I go to the doctor again tomorrow and hopefully she'll tell us things have progressed. Last week's appt was good but nothing much had changed from the week before.
Hopefully the next post is a picture of Baby Rosebrook, so until next time...

38 weeks!

It's getting down to the final stretch! Hard to believe the due date is less than 2 weeks away, though I feel ready! Having some typical aches and pains and my hands/fingers are constantly asleep and hurting. I really cannot complain though...each little ache and pain is one step closer to meeting our little angel. :)

Until next week...(maybe!)

Today is Brian's birthday too- looks like the baby won't be sharing a b-day with his/her daddy but they'll be close! Happy Birthday, Bri! If you haven't checked it out yet, Brian posted a short video of our baby room below. We just bought a new camcorder- very exciting!

All that's missing is a baby!

37 weeks!

37 weeks and going strong! We'll be posting more pics of the baby room soon! We just bought a HD camcorder with some gift cards and Brian wants to download a video of the nursery so stay tuned...

I have been feeling pretty well. I feel like I've dropped a little and have been experiencing some discomfort...overall good though! We bought the car seat and some other baby essentials this weekend with my sister Leah who came to visit. It was a restful yet very productive weekend!

Until next week...xoxo

Halloween... 36 Weeks.

Hello everyone, we just got back from celebrating Timmy's birthday in Cincy. That should be our last out of town trip until after the baby's born. In case you didn't notice, Timmy's birthday party doubles as a Halloween party, hence the "Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin" costumes. On a side note, I wanted to thank everyone for your support throughout the last 8 months. Lauren and I are very fortunate to be surrounded by such caring friends and family. We can't wait to introduce Baby Rosebrook to all of you.

Work baby shower

Today was my work shower and it was wonderful! My awesome teaching team made it so much fun and I really appreciate it! Baby R. got a lot of nice things from my co-workers! Thanks Carol, Mimi, Crissy, Debby and Linda! Love the Curious George diaper cake and yummy real cake too! :)

35 weeks!

It's already over 35 weeks with just a month to go! Can't believe Baby Rosebrook will be here so soon. :)

Here's another pic of the crib- can't stop taking pictures of it. We've spent the past week washing some of the clothes, blankets, etc. and straightening up the baby room. Just being in there makes me happy. :)

The doctor said everything looks good so far with the baby and myself. Hopefully that means he/she won't be coming too early or too late for that matter. Haha. A Thanksgiving baby would be great though we're happy for whenever he/she decides to come. Until next week...

34 weeks!

This shirt really shows the bump so I thought I'd see what it looked like 2 weeks after the last time I wore it. Man, has the belly grown! :)

I am feeling well though it is getting harder to do simple things, such as pick something up from the ground, get out of bed, etc. Not complaining though because I have loved being pregnant. Little Baby Rosebrook will be here before we know it and we cannot wait to meet him/her!

I have an appointment with the doctor this week and I'm hoping she'll let us know where the baby is positioned. Stay tuned!
