So we are finally down to the final 10 days until little #3 arrives! I am feeling really good overall, although sleep is definitely getting to be fairly uncomfortable and hard to do...I guess it's just preparing me for what is to come?!
I think we are as "ready" as can be....Christmas shopping is close to done, Christmas baking is actually done (and hopefully going to stay fresh until Christmas!), boys have been in bunk beds for a couple months now, baby's room just got a fresh coat of paint, car seats have been moved to the back row to make room for baby in the middle and all the infant stuff (swing, bouncy seat, etc) has been washed and is ready to go - just to name a few of the things that have been going on around here in preparation!
Caleb and Noah have been quite busy as well making all kinds of cards, pictures and crafts and putting them in a special box just for baby. I have no doubt they are going to make excellent big brothers! It has been really sweet to see them so excited to have a new brother or sister and I can't wait to see them in action.
It's very weird for me this time not knowing if it is a he or she and part of me feels like I know this baby a little bit less "in womb" than I did with the boys...however, I also am REALLY excited to finally find out what it is and so this birth seems a little more anticipatory than the previous two. Mitch has had the gender confirmed 2x now and so in no time at all we'll find out if what he knows is correct:) He's the best secret keeper I know (right Ryan?) and I honestly have no clue what it is...not long now until we both know!
I'm officially 38 weeks tomorrow and my appointment today confirmed that everything looks great and I'm about 50% effaced and 1-2 cm dialated...so it's only a matter of time! I'm not sure how much blogging I will get to the next couple weeks, but I'll try to post at least something as soon as possible just to get the word out!

Wow - you are such a beautiful pregnant woman. Glowing! I'm so excited to meet your new baby. I can't believe that it's really only 10 days away. Where did the time go? I feel like you just told me that you were pregnant. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you and so look forward to hearing the wonderful news that he or she is born!
Wow, only 10 days to go! Sounds like you are all ready all you need is that little baby to arrive. Wishing you a fast and speedy delivery and recovery!
Eagerly awaiting beautiful friend...just waiting with you makes me think of this season of Advent:)
I'm so EXCITED to be surprised and find out...I'll gladly weigh in on a baby pool if there is one.
And, yes, you are adorable...only Sarah can be so cute at 9 months!!!

Can't wait to meet him or her! You look great!
Mitch has apparently gotten much better over time. He hasn't even told me! Look forward to meeting Keating Kid #3.
Yay! It's so exciting. I can't wait to meet him or her...although I'm thinking HER! You really do look adorable.
