It's D-Day and NO BABY!!

Well today is June 17th, my due date...we have no baby and no signs that Sawyer is ready to enter this world. I went for what I thought would be my last doctor's visit yesterday, and he said he was going to have the nurse call today to schedule a date for me to be induced next week. I will go back to the doctor on Monday. It is not to say that Sawyer will not arrive before...but is very unlikely.

As most of you know, Ragan has been traveling to Charlotte on the weekends for the NCAS State Games. We are just hoping that Sawyer will be smart enough to know when Daddy is in town and when would be a great time to arrive.

I am feeling great, but my round belly is starting to get in the way. I guess that is what happens when you are 40 weeks pregnant. My ankles are the sizes of watermelons, not really, but they are swollen all the time. I guess 90+ degree weather everyday is not helping the situation. My doctor said, "I have yet to have a pregnant lady's ankles split open, although I know that is what you feel they are going to do." I am still sleeping through the night and working...I plan to work until Sawyer arrives.

Tonight we are going to the North Hills Beach Music party to enjoy a little socializing with friends and dancing. 40 week picture to come...

Nursery Pictures

Many people have requested pictures of the nursery...so here they are:

I just love to spend time in Sawyer's room and so does Tucker. It is his favorite room...there will be times when Tucker is missing and we find him asleep in Sawyer's room. I really can't wait for them to be buds running around the house together.

It has been forever since I last updated the blog and for that I apologize. Here is what has been happening in our life the last month.

Memorial Day Weekend

The Roger's family attended North State Bank's "Summer Salute" Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed a night of gambling and shagging. We spent the rest of the holiday weekend relaxing by the pool.

June 5th, my 28th birthday weekend

I had a great birthday...my parents came for a surprise dinner to celebrate with my sister and grandmother at Nantucket Grill. We spent the rest of the weekend relaxing by the pool...do you notice the trend...relaxing by the pool! The pool is a place Ragan and I have always enjoyed spending time. We realized our days of spending all day, literally 8 hours, at the pool are numbered and knew that is how we wanted to spend our last days without child.

Ode to my ankles

Day three with no ankles, not even ankle bones.

I wonder when they will rejoin the rest of my body?

4 more weeks, 4 more weeks, 4 more weeks. Give or take.

At least my wrist are still small.

Ragan's Birthday

Happy 31st Birthday sweet husband of mine!

You love us so well, and I can't wait for you to become a Daddy!

Love, Allie and Tucker

My one and only Mother's Day-To-Be

35 weeks on Mother's Day

I realized last Sunday that there are very few holidays that you can only experience once. Birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgivings happen every year...but when you are expecting you only get one "Mother's Day-to-be." My friend, Brittanie, sent me the sweetest card with a message that said, "Becoming a mom is one of the most amazing things that can happen to a woman." I have enjoyed the journey of being pregnant and can only imagine how much better life will be with a child. So, happy one week late Mothers and Mother's-to-be!

The Land Team Shower

My co-workers threw a shower for Baby Sawyer earlier this week. We had a fabulous pot-luck lunch with all my favorites and the best dessert EVER! They know that my favorite bakery is Blue Moon bakery in Cary!!

Chocolate cake with raspberry filling...yummy!

My co-workers at Dr. Land's office with Sawyer's new chair!
We already have it in the nursery by the bookshelf.

Double Date Night

Ragan's work hosted a night at the Durham Bulls, so we enjoyed a double date with Sarah and Ellis on NCAS! We ate dinner at the new Tobacco Road located at the Bulls stadium and then headed to our box seats for the game. The highlight of the night was RITA's water ice for dessert, and Friday night fireworks after the game. By the way, the Bulls won!!

No babysitter needed for our "first son." As most of you know, Tucker is thought of as our child. I often think about how he will react with Sawyer's arrival...I hope they become best buds, running around the back yard together, playing on the floor, chasing balls , and enjoy walks through our neighborhood.

Tucker boy!

Our weekend

Our first yard sale in the new neighborhood!

Baby Sawyer...33 weeks and 3 days

This is the pile of unsold items...looks like it will be

awhile before we have another yard sale.

Bathing suit season!

This afternoon Ragan and I went to the pool.

Our neighborhood pool opened this weekend and with

90+ degrees weather we enjoyed a little R&R poolside.
