Cooper's Birthday

So we have a birthday now for Cooper. We will be meeting our little boy bright and early on the morning of March 14th! So only a little over a week to go. Even though I'm definitely ready, it is a little weird to realize there is a concrete date set and we know when he'll be here! Very exciting though! He weighs a little over 8 pounds now, and my doctor thinks he will be 8.5 to 9 pounds when he is born (he'll be born about 10 days early). The kidney thing is even better which is great news so hopefully we won't even have to worry about that much. My doctor also requested that I stop working and get some rest for the next week since I've been working so hard and am so big now. So I get to take the week off and just veg at home which will be nice. Especially since I am covered so I still get paid and I don't have to go back to work until Monday, June 5th! It will be very nice!

Other than that, not a whole lot going on. I'll try to post this week even though I won't necessarily have much new to say. I go back to the doctor Thursday for my last office visit and my parents come in next Monday to be here for Cooper's birth and to help out afterwards. Hope you all had a great weekend - talk to you soon! :)

That's so exciting. I think I'm going to have to stalk you and show up at your house, just to see you. And Cooper. :)
