Honestly

I would be lying if I said I think our baby will be the cutest baby in the whole world.  As a mom, it's natural to think you have the best looking baby on the block.  However, looking at Robie's baby pictures I have a slight fear that our baby may have an early awkward stage in life.  (Sorry if you think this sounds mean.)  It's just that Robie and I both agree that he was not the cutest infant.  He looked a little funny in the first year, but when he finally grew those curls on his head- WATCH OUT LADIES!  He was the most adorable toddler around.  Maybe I'm just nervous because I didn't have any (repeat ANY) hair until I was about 3, and I constantly got mistaken for a little boy who gave dirty looks all the time.  So, if our baby gets my bad hair genes, things could be a disaster!  If you think I sound a little paranoid and stressed, you are probably right.  Since I don't get much sleep anymore, my mind has been busy thinking about all the "What If" situations that could happen during and after birth.  I have been having nightmares of anything and everything going wrong, and it has made me slightly nervous to think I will be responsible for a tiny human in a few short weeks.  I think it's natural to have a brief freak out moment at the end of pregnancy (right?), but inside I know the moment I see my baby, looks will be the LAST thing on my mind.  I will be consumed with abundant love and joy for such a miracle, and I will feel so happy and blessed that Heavenly Father has sent an angel into my arms.  Robie and I are so ready to be parents!  At my last doctor appointment, I was 1cm dilated and 60% effaced.  I know that doesn't really mean anything, since women can stay at that level for weeks, but I figure something is better than nothing.  We can't wait to meet you baby Jaxon Robie Fullmer!  We love you SO much!

How cute is that face?!  ADORABLE!

Congrats on the 1 cm. I think that is great. I was a 0 the entire time until my C section date... so you are right 1 is definately something! Your baby will be totally cute. It doesnt even look like Robie was an odd looking baby to me so I think you are ok. I hope everything goes ok.

Based on the pics you posted, I think he was a cute baby. He looks just like himself in the form of a baby :)
