My cousin's wife, Michelle, (which I guess makes her my cousin now too) is expecting a baby pretty much any day now. A couple of weeks ago, my aunt called me and said that Michelle was at the hospital--she had started bleeding a little bit and was dilating. She's due on the 20th of this month and the baby was already 7 pounds but the doctors decided that they needed to stop labor if they could. They gave her the drugs and sent her home. We're pretty sure she's not going to make it until her due date but we're just waiting for the baby to come. Micky and Michelle went down to the beach with us this weekend. My uncle Micky took the three of us out on the boat. Of course my aunt and my mama were going crazy about the idea thinking that Michelle didn't need to go out and that my uncle had better not drive crazy and that we better call them if anything happens, etc. I told them it would be fine. Michelle watches A Baby Story on TLC everyday so she feels confident that she could talks us through a delivery ;) haha.
Michelle is the cutest pregnant person ever. She's gained about 20 pounds and now tips the scales at about 135 pounds. Seriously. She looks like she swallowed a watermelon. It's all belly, all in the front. Unless you see her from the side, you wouldn't even know she's prego. The girl wore a hot pink bikini on the boat. She wears soffe shorts and tanks or tee shirts on a daily basis. I am very jealous because I will probably look like a beached whale when I'm pregnant one day in the distant future.
It was so weird to watch her belly moving around as the baby is moving. We are really hoping that she has a little girl so we keep referring to the baby as "she." I'm really excited because we need a new baby in our family. It's been a while. My generation is all old enough to marry and procreate now so I hope that Micky's baby is the first of many more to come in my family! :) Keep Michelle & the baby in your prayers!
