Round nine: This is it, Baby

Here we are with the 41st week photo and as we head into our 42nd week tomorrow we’re feeling…hmmm, how can I put this? Ready. Anxious. Eager. Excited. Nervous. Tired (dare I even admit this, you mamas out there are probably laughing at the irony of what’s to come.) Impatient. Just to name a few....

Round eight: Let’s go, baby!

Ok, here we are—41 weeks and ever so ready to meet our baby! We had a Hebamma (midwife) appointment yesterday morning where the baby’s heartbeat, movements and my contractions were monitored for half an hour. (Since this little munchkin obviously didn’t get the memo that our due date was Sunday.) Alles gut in there; maybe...

May 18, 2011 - 10:23 PM

Kay Eagleman - Beautiful pregnancy! It is hard on the long distance waiters too! Perchance this little one has a little stubbornness like daddy? Just saying. ;-)

erikeagleman - beautiful!!!! always beautiful!!!!

Round seven: Almost there, baby!

So here we are in our 40th week. Still feeling good (for 40 weeks) but getting ever so anxious to meet this little sweetie. This past week has been filled with a slew of firsts, including: Contractions (Braxton Hicks) coming about every 5 minutes—while these aren’t the true labor contractions I’m positive their frequency and...

Kay Eagleman - She'll come out when she is good and ready to….right?

Round six: Ready, baby?

Week 39 has been busy. Out of town visitors, baby laundry, one-more-before-baby-arrives coffees and dinners with friends, preparing the hospital bag, picking up last minute baby goods, midwife appointment and finishing up work obligations. Each task completed means one more item crossed off the to-do list, which is comforting. Maybe a little too comforting? I’ve...

The Life of Me - Erin, I am just so excited for this baby to be here! I am sure it doesn't compare to your excitement, but none the less. I got on here quickly to see if there were new pics only to realize that it's so stinking close to the baby arriving that I cried! Lol! I am such a dork! I love and miss you guys. I am hoping for you guys that maybe this little baby decides to give you a fabulous first mother's day gift!!

As one of the proud soon to be grammies, I'm thinkin…'How could that ever ever be?' …doesn't everyone know this is the most anticipated, precious beautiful treasured sweet little human ever!! :) I love the gorgeous pictures Erin, but the sweet text that accompanies them is even more precious…it is a window into the pregnancy experience of my far far away baby.

Round five: Ice, Ice Baby

It seems that lately I can’t get enough cold. Cold water (I’m usually a warm water girl), cool breezes, ice cream, iced tea, brisk showers, popsicles. I’m eating popsicles like they’re going out of style. And I find myself constantly taking off clothes to cool down and then putting them back on a few minutes...

Kay Eagleman - I am beside myself with anticipation!!! It is all I talk about at school, well, almost. But needless to say, all of my students know that great things are happen'. Woohoo! I'm going to be a grandma! and my mother will be a great-grandma!!! She is excited too!!!

May 2, 2011 - 1:00 PM

Gene and Annie - Erin, you look so beautiful!! Not too much longer!! I definitely had hot flashes but I never craved ice!! The great thing about ice is that you have all you want of it!!

The Life of Me - Erin you look fabulous!! I can't wait for the baby to come!! Arabelle thinks it's a girl and is very perplexed by how you made your way to the computer screen. Love you friend!!

May 12, 2011 - 4:09 PM

Robyn - Mmm…I love them all, but this round of photos might just be my favorite. Your love for the Eaglet shines through so radiantly in your smile. Glad to know you're so well supported and surrounded by love — and that you're now e-biking it. ;)

Round four: Woah baby

We’re getting close; very, very close. I cannot believe that this weekend our sweet little baby will be considered full term. Done. Finished. Baked. Ready to make his / her debut into this big, beautiful world. However, if I’m totally honest here, I admit that I’d be mighty happy if s/he decided to wait till...
