The waiting game

Well, today is September 12th and for those of you who may not know it is also our due date.  Still no baby, though.  For most of my pregnancy I actually expected that I would go past my due date before Emily was born because that's common for a first child.  Last week, however, my doctor said she didn't think I'd make it to my due date because of how far I've already progressed on my own, so I got my hopes up.  But here I am on my due date with no baby and no signs that she'll be coming anytime soon.  We'll see how much longer Emily decides to stay in there.  We're very excited to meet her!
In other news, it's been a lot of fun being back here in Houston.  Last week my sister, Fleming, and my mom threw me a baby shower.  We invited people that I haven't seen in a really long time so it was fun having a little reunion.  We spent all day the day before cooking, decorating, and getting everything together and it turned out really cute!

Thank you to Fleming (and Jeff) and my mom for putting together such a great party and thanks to everyone who came!  We had a great time! Now we just need Emily to get here so the celebrating can continue!
