Ok... so I'm new to this blogging thing, but here it goes.  I'm going to try to keep up regular posts of my pregnancy and then post pictures and stories when the baby comes.

I'm now 29 weeks, 2 days pregnant.  Patrick and I are having a baby boy.  He's due on February 27th, 2009, but the past few ultrasounds say he's coming Feb. 25th.  I just hope he's not late!  Pregnancy is hard enough at 30 weeks!  We plan on naming him Collin Brody Daniel.  Yep...3 first names.. just like his daddy.  I guess it comes with the territory when your last name is a first name.  

I'm definitely feeling the fatigue of the third trimester.  I think everything else is going OK.  I had to go into labor and delivery a few weeks ago because I was having some minor cramping.  Well, it turns out I was having preterm labor contractions!   Now I'm on stupid travel restrictions.  I'm so bummed out.  I had to miss my big baby shower because I couldn't drive or fly.  They had to cancel it. :(  I also can't believe I can't go home from Christmas because it's a 6 hour drive away.  This will be the first time ever I won't spend Christmas with my family.  But I'll be here with Pat and Stoli (our Boston Terrier), so that will be nice.  

We had our 4D ultrasound last Wednesday.  It was really neat to see Collin actually had volume and wasn't just a fuzzy black and white screen.  But he kept covering his face and turning so we couldn't see him very well.  :(  I kind of want to do another one...but then again maybe we'll just wait to see how cute he actually is in person.
