We're converting our garage into a "multi-purpose" room for a laundry closet, computer room/play area, and an extra place to sleep.
Here's some proof of the boys hard at work:
He loves "helping" Daddy.
What would a girl do without a couple of "handymen" like these?
How does this brilliant man know how to do everything?
And this little mister is going to learn it all from his Daddy...what a happy wife he'll have one day!
Most of you know what the plan is for McKlayne's birth, but for those of you who don't, my due date is July 7th. Due to my complications with delivering Asher, Dr. Davis didn't want her to get "too big" (he didn't want me to have another 8 lb baby) so he scheduled my induction for July 3rd...the ONLY day we were hoping that she wouldn't come!
July 3rd is our 3rd Anniversary and, selfishly, we're not too excited about having to share it! When we were picking a wedding date, we chose this one, so that we would always have the 4th off to be able to go away for the evening of our anniversary if we wanted. But, that's all that Dr. Davis' and the hospital's schedule would allow. So, we're keeping this date and praying that she comes before then!
Which is very possible! I went in today and was 75% effaced and almost a full 3 cm. dilated! He said she "looked to be" about 6 1/2-7 lbs...but how much can they really tell from poking around on your belly? Dr. Davis said he'd "probably see me this weekend" since he's on call and would be surpised if I lasted until next Thursday.
Isn't that what every pregnant lady wants to hear? We shall see! I could sit like this for another week!
(Pic taken tonight, in my 39th Week!)
On to the fun part...leave a comment with your guess to when you think McKlayne will be born (the date...even if you don't think she's coming until the 3rd) and her measurements (height & weight.)
My guess is Saturday, June 28th; 7 lbs 4 oz; 20 inches long.
Charlie's is Sunday, June 29th; 7 lbs 8 oz.; 19 1/2 inches long.
No matter what, a week from today I will have a baby girl...this is still so hard to believe! I can't wait to meet this crazy girl who's been kicking around in me so much lately!
hmmmm...

You would think I had known you forever (or at least have met!)because I'm so excited for y'all! I'm voting for Sunday, but I'm not going to even attempt baby weight guessing! :)
ReplyDeleteHope everything goes smoothly and that y'all get to keep your anniversary for just the two of you! (I don't think you're selfish--I totally understand what you're saying!) ;)

ReplyDeleteYou're not in labor right now are you?
ReplyDeleteBecause if you are and you haven't called, I'm going to be mad at you and yell at you like the lady in the HEB parking lot.
I think tomorrow (Sunday). I think this little girl will be 7 lbs. 4 ounces. 21 inches long.
Love you and your belly contents...
Heather
Well, I didn't see a deadline on the voting so hopefully I'll be a winner!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 6/30, 7 lbs. 4 oz., 20 inches.
I have clothes for McKlayne, my friend! I will bring them to you.
Can't wait to meet her.
Love ya!
Hey Apel Family,

ReplyDelete07/01/08
ReplyDelete7lbs 1oz @8am
That's what I get for guessing so early!
ReplyDeleteNext time (Hear that?) I'll wait till the margin is smaller so I have a better chance.
Hmmm... might have to up the birth weight.
SO SAD. No pearls for McKlayne. :(
Well I know I am late on the guessing...but I have not had computer access so it's not my fault!
ReplyDeleteJuly 2nd 7lbs, 19in
I actually was going to guess 7lbs 2oz but didn't want to be the same as Jess!!
Praying for everything to go smoothly. love ya!
1) I hope your baby comes out soon.
ReplyDelete2) Your house seems cool and I still haven't been to the "new" one (now that you've been there for a year or so. Sara and I want to visit when the baby settles down.
3) Don't you think that Asher is playing a little close to that high powered nail gun? Just don't want CPS reading through your blog and knocking on your door any time soon!
Can't wait to see the new one!
I'm praying for you today! You're having a baby today! Yippee!!!!
ReplyDeletejenn
July 3rd, 7lb, 2 oz. 20 inches
ReplyDeleteWe'll be praying for you!
Okay, so I know the baby's coming today, but I'll say:
ReplyDelete6 lbs, 8 oz.
That baby couldn't be that big with that tiny belly of yours. Praying for a speedy delivery and recovery!
