I can write this post right now and look back on the situation and kind of laugh because everything turned out ok…

I was leaving an office this morning when I was hit by a car. No, my car wasn’t hit by a car, my legs were hit by a car. A woman, who had to be in her 90’s, was apparently backing out of her parking spot in the doctor’s office parking lot. She was parked in the handicapped spot that was closest to the door so when I stepped off the landing that led to the door, I was right in her path. So, I took about 2 steps before she backed right into my legs. Thankfully, she stopped. I stood there for a few seconds wondering what do do then I started walking towards my car. The woman never even looked at me! She didn’t wind down her window or get out of her car to make sure that I was ok. She just proceeded to back out of her spot and drive right past me out of the parking lot. Yep…I got hit by a car today.

I am officially 34 weeks today with only 6 to go until Baby Bechdel’s arrival We had a doctor’s appointment on Monday and everything still looks great. The baby is right on track with a very strong heart beat. My weight gain is right on track which is always good. Scott and I have been going to our childbirth classes for the last 3 weeks and we have really learned a lot. Tonight was all about C-sections which was a little intimidating at first but Scott and I both took a lot away from the class. It has been a great learning experience for us as new parents. We are looking forward to the next 6 weeks and can’t wait to meet this little one! Enjoy the picture of my giant belly!

Scott and I just want to wish Josie a happy 5th Birthday! We are so glad that we were able to be there to help you celebrate this weekend. We hope you had a wonderful Birthday! Love you Josie!

On Saturday, our moms, sisters and close friends hosted a shower in honor of our little munchkin. The restaurant was beautiful and the decorations were perfect. The tables were decorated with blow-up jungle animals and cookie trees for centerpieces. My sister Gemma spent hours making all the cookies for the centerpieces and then decorating them with icing, they were adorable. Scott and I were able to catch up with lots of family and friends and visit with some of our smallest and newest family members. 2 week old Sammy made an appearance and was definitely a hit! He really is a cutie!

We feel so blessed to have such amazing family and friends. We can’t thank everyone enough for all of the wonderful things we received for our new little one. It has really taken a huge load off our minds when it comes to preparing for the baby.

Scott and I had a wonderful time and we can’t thank you all enough for everything that you have done for us and for Baby Bechdel. Enjoy the pictures from the shower and be sure to get your guesses in for the baby poll in the previous post!

Jackie is officially 30 weeks today so we are getting down to crunch time. I have spent the last couple days trying to figure out a way to put a calendar on here for everyone to place their guesses but I cannot figure it out. So, what we would like you to do is comment on this post with your guesses for the following:

Date, Gender, Weight, Length

Feel free to add any other information you are willing to put out there such as oval shaped birthmark on the left butt cheek. I will also give you that Jackie’s official due date is December 24th. Let the games begin!!!
