This experience has flown by, but I have a strange feeling the next 3
weeks are going to go s....l....o......w.......
Which is okay because I have a classroom to get ready before baby joins us.
Baby Haynes is considered FULL TERM, but I hope it doesn't get any ideas
I have 4 more days of summer school and classroom to decorate and put together!

The Doctors Office that we will be visiting EVERY WEEK now
Dr. Bernhard checked my cervix, can we say OUCH! 
She couldn't feel my cervix because babies head was in the way.
I asked does that mean we will get a baby sooner than later and she said,
I'll see you for sure on Friday for your next Doctors Appointment.

We celebrated Abe's 1st Birthday on Saturday.  
He has been such a joy to our house. Couldn't imagine life without him.

Enjoying Doggie Birthday Cake - I tried it and YUCK! 

He loved it. 

 

He loves his Mom.
