Well, today is the due day!! And....nothing. Haha that is about where it ends. As of 9:30 AM(right now), little Layla has not yet graced us with even the IDEA of her coming soon. I have officially been pregnant now for 40 weeks and well.....it is FINALLY starting to get uncomfortable. She is sitting low now and I feel like she MUST weigh nearly ten pounds!! However, from the midwife calculations she is somewhere closer to 8 lbs. as of last Thursday.
Last Thursday was my last appointment and everything looked great she said, but....I was only 1 cm dialated and only 20% effaced which means it could be another week from then! We have another appointment today at 3:30 PM and hopefully, just hopefully I have SOME change that looks promising! The longest over my due date they will allow me to go is 10 days so at the LONGEST we will have a baby in ten days!! YAY!!
I cannot wait to have Layla out to start feeling comfortable again and so I can start doing things I used to! THAT is the motivating force now! Kristin and Brian came up for the weekend and what a GREAT time we had and they walked me nearly to death trying to get Layla to enter the world. But, no avail.... sorry guys! We had SO much fun though, staying up late and playing Spades and Hearts for HOURS! We sure do miss you guys up here and wished we lived closer!!! Thank you for coming to visit!!!!
So.....since Matthew has been home now for 18 days, he had to return to work since Layla decided her due date wasn't the one she wanted. This is pretty unfortunate considering we live about 15 minutes on the other side of base from where he works and my car is at the shop right now! Which means, if I go into labor fast or my water breaks and whatnot there is a good chance I will have to wait an hour for Matthew to get home and then take another 45 minutes to get to the hospital. And THAT is in the case of an emergency! Oh well, life goes on and Layla has already started dictating our schedules! haha....they sure start early!
Anyway, that is the only update, may have another one after the appointment this afternoon! Can't wait to surprise everyone with the good news when we get some!!!
Love,
Katie, Matthew, and Layla

MATTHEW'S HOME!!!!
For all those checking this blog and haven't heard....
HE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, my prince has come home safely and has been home now for a couple of days! He arrived Thursday at 5AM to my LONG awaiting arms! What a joy it was to see each other! His face just LIT UP when he saw me and my belly and ever since just CAN'T keep his hands off of it! He loves feeling her move around and taps on my belly because he likes to feel her jump! She is already responding to his voice and he talks to her ALL the time, I think he is just making up for all that lost time! The puppies went CRAZY when he got home and as soon as he let them out, they went NUTS with him! What a joy it is to have our family back together!!!!
Today we are just relaxing and cleaning the apartment up from all the gear he brought home (it's everywhere!). We are also going to take the doggies to the park to throw the ball around and get some of their energy out! My labor and delivery bags are all packed so now we are just waiting although I think we still have a few days which is wonderful! But, we will see! Who knows! Everytime I have a contraction or I worry that I may be in labor, Matthew gets SO excited and says he is VERY ready for her to come out! I think he cannot wait to hold her like I have been holding her these last nine months!! As of today I am 37 weeks and 5 days, so almost 38 weeks! She could come ANY time now, but I would still love a couple more weeks with just Matthew, but who knows!!
Anyway, Matthew is making his hashbrown scramble for breakfast and the bacon smells SOOO good!! I better go help if he lets me!!
To Kristin and Brian.....I miss you guys SO very much! Thank you again for all you have done, Matthew and I are SO greatful to have family like you. You are SUCH an example of true love and giving unconditionally! We love you and cannot wait to see you soon!!!
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, love and support! Our family is back together safely and about to expand even more!! What a joy our life is once again!!
Love to all from both Matthew and I!
