Any Time Now!!

Here we are in the final stretch of this pregnancy. One that has been filled with ups and downs, and lots of prayers. I really didn't think we would have made it this far, back at week 22. We are now in week 38.
And I will tell you that I am ready ANY TIME!!! (I know most women say that by now) I am really starting to get uncomfortable, restless, and not sleeping well. And sadly, when I don't sleep well...neither does Dan.
We went to the doctors today. And we have made some progress since last week. I am now 1cm dilated. I know we have a long way to go, but at least that's a start.
Dan still really wants Abby to wait till October to make her appearance, but we know that she'll come when she's ready.
We can't thank y'all enough for your continued prayers and support thus far.
We will be sure to update y'all when we are heading to the hospital and when Abby does arrive.
Until then,
Dan and KIM

1 MONTH & COUNTING

WOW...can you believe it?!?!?!
1 month and counting!!! Seems crazy. Abigail Caskie is due in just 1 month. We are ready to meet her, ready to kiss the hands and feet that have been kicking me more and more, ready to see who she looks like; what color eyes she will have, will she have hair???
Back in June we weren't sure she would stay put this long. We are so thankful for you, our friends and family, who have been praying for our daughter to stay inside me and continue to grow. We are thankful for Dr Martin and his medical wisdom. We are thankful for OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, who has kept us safe and healthy.
I am still taking the hormone shots for another 2 weeks. At that point we will let Abby come when she may. Everyone keeps telling me that my daughter is going to again assert her Independence and just decide to be "late" (after Oct 6th) I know my Aunt Cheryl is pushing for her to be born on her 50th birthday on the 15th. But October hold MANY birthdays for our family. Including Abby's daddy, but not till the 27th...and that is just NOT going to happen!!!
The past few weeks have felt a little more "normal". I have returned to work for a few hours a few days a week. It's nice to be out of the house and feel a little "productive".
We, mostly Dan, have been busy getting things ready for Abby to arrive. Washing clothes, blankets, bibs, burp cloths. Putting together baby accessories, figuring out how the strollers work. So much to do!! Dan is almost finished with staining the dresser/changer. My mom is still working on the bedding. It'll all get done soon enough.
We are anxiously awaiting to meet Lil Abby!!! We can't wait to introduce her to all of you!!
Again...THANK YOU for you love and prayers that have gotten us to this milestone!!! 1 month and COUNTING......
Love,
Dan, Kim, and Abby
