Baby Bell Arrives in 6 Days!!!!

39 weeks today! I cannot believe it!!! Isabella is around 7 lbs now or more and estimated at 20ish inches! She is big baby huh?
We are so so so excited right now! Throughout each day I find myself thinking about next Friday and getting to finally meet our precious baby girl and I just sob! Happy tears, of course, and I just cannot fathom how beautiful she will be but I know she will be!
Every night Doug and I talk about our hopes and fears and all the "little" things we need to think about in the future regarding our daughter and we always end up tearing up and smiling while looking at each other when we think about how amazing this journey has been and how phase 1 is over in less than a week!
I honestly do not even know what else to say, I am getting teary eyed just thinking about all of it.
Just think, as of Friday August 20th around 11 am Isabella Jewel McLeod will be here in our arms and soon enough yours when you meet her!!!

Our Humble Adobe is Ready Baby

38 weeks today!!!
We cannot believe our precious baby girl will be here in less than 2 weeks!
They scheduled my C-Section for August 20th at 10:30am, but last time they checked me as in a few days ago, I was 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced....So I am thinking they might move my date closer so that she is safely delivered before I go into labor, but who knows? Plus, my hemorrhage in my eye re-bled this week due to coughing. Seriously? I am freaked out about coughing and sneezing and all the normal human things now....
We are all moved into our little apartment and we love it! The nursery is almost complete. I want to stencil something above her crib and the closet to finish the decorating part and then the last few pieces will be here soon enough.
Doug and I could not be happier with how everything is turning out! We are quite the good team at accomplishing everything at home and getting ready for our newest addition to the McLeod family.
I cannot wait to welcome her into our arms and family finally. Baby Girl---Hurry up in there! We're waiting. <3
