We are still waiting for Baby Scherer to arrive. My due date was 2 days ago, which I know is not that long, but I'm ready to see this baby! We went to Scalini's last night, which is a restaurant here in Atlanta that is famous for it's eggplant parmesian dish that is supposed to induce labor. So we went there last night and I ate the whole eggplant dish. So far it hasn't done anything, but we'll see. The waitress at the restaurant told us that if you have the baby within 48 hours of eating the eggplant parmesian they will give you a little pink or blue shirt for the baby and a 25$ gift certificate to eat there again. You also get to put your baby's picture on their wall. So if Baby Scherer will hurry it up, we could get a free meal! That would be awesome, but I'm trying my best to be patient and let the baby come when he/she is ready. Hopefully it will be soon!

New Pregnancy Pics
After being chastised for not updating my blog and receiving requests for updates (Jenny), I promise to never wait this long again between postings. As I'm sure all of you know, my belly is getting bigger and bigger! I'm about ready to get this baby out! I don't sleep much anymore and I have this excruciating pain at the top of my belly when the baby decides to push out as hard as he/she can. That part is not fun at all! Other than that I'm doing pretty well. So here are some updated pictures of my basketball belly.
This is me at 36 weeks:
This is 37 weeks:
This is 38 weeks:
I'm pretty large, huh! My midwife told me this week that she thinks I'm having a 71/2 or 8 pound baby. I almost died when she said that! I only weighed 5 pounds something when I was born and Daniel was about 7 pounds so I was banking that our baby would be small. I guess we'll find out soon enough!
