Just a quick little update. We went to the doctor on Tuesday for our 37 week checkup and I was 4cm dilated and 70% effaced...so the doc thinks Katelyn will show up sometime in the next week!!! BUT, if she hides out for much longer than that we are going to induce on June 24th! We asked the doctor if KP has dropped yet and she said, "Yes, but she's still very high because she's so big!" That's our girl!!
It's a little nerve wracking knowing she could come at any moment now and my water could break at any given time. Will I be alone? With Timmer (yes please!)? With friends? With co-workers? With strangers (ack!)??!! Where will I be? At work? At home? At Costso? At the drive-through at Wendy's? Will it be a gush or a trickle? I am always looking for signs of my water breaking...every little twitch, kick or tingle is a "sign" and "I just know is my water breaking!" I obviously don't have mother's intuition yet because I was convinced that my water was going to break last night, but it didn't. Katelyn kept kicking my bladder so I thought she was signaling to me that she was on her way! Guess not.
We finally decided on a middle name...Katelyn Elise McMicken. We really love the name and are relieved that we have that taken care of :)
I guess we don't really have anything else to report as of now...but we'll keep you updated on any exciting happenings.

Yay! So I might get to see her after all!! For some reason the other day (Monday, I think), I was absolutely convinced you were going to have her that day. I was (obviously) wrong. Oh, and I LOVE the name Elise.
Very cool. I will most likely be out of town when Katelyn Elise arrives, but call me when you are ready for visitors. I am so excited for you!!!!!!!
I predict you will deliver between 9 pm Thursday
(6/19) and 9 am Friday
(6/20). Why? Because there is a full moon the night of the 19th. My mother-in-law predicted my first son's birth that way. I'm so excited for both of you!!
