2 Weeks and Counting

Now that I am 38 weeks pregnant, I continue to grow more anxious as the days pass. I am taking walks daily and recently visited the spa for a prenatal massage that was well over due. At my most recent doctors visit I was told I am currently dilated 1cm and almost ready to go. Maybe she'll come early or maybe she'll decide to stay in just a little bit longer. Nevertheless we are so excited to meet the new addition to the Blake and Reaves family.

Any Day Now

Today 2/28/10 I am officially 36 weeks, 9 months pregnant. Avani will be full term on 3-7-10 and her due date is 3-28-10. Although her due date is not exact, doctors predict babies can come within 2 weeks before or after the due date. Lately I've been looking into ways to naturally induce my labor, but I'll just stick to taking walks. I keep telling myself Avani is coming when she is ready, I hope she is as anxious to meet her family as we are to meet her. I just hope when she does come, her delivery will be swift and safe and I will deliver a healthy beautiful baby.

Naming Lil' Mama

Sincere apologies to all for the confusion.. Choosing a name for the baby was quite a task. My ultimate choice has always been Avani Amour Reaves, but daddy wanted Jordan. We butted heads for a few months then we agreed upon Lyrik Marie.. Lyrik wasn't favorable upon any of our parents, although I had become attached to it. So, I guess Grandma Reaves was able to convince her son that Avani would better suite the baby and not to mention it is a beautiful name. To compromise, her name will be Avani Jordan Reaves. The origin of the name Avani is Indian (Sanskirt) and it means earth. The origin of the name Jordan is Hebrew and it means to flow down. However, I personally want to add a feminine touch to it by altering the spelling of Jordan to Jordyn. Maybe I'll get my way with that too!!

7 months down 2 more to go. Thank God this is going by fast, and I can't wait to drop this load and finally have the chance to meet my little girl. I hope everyone can make it to the baby shower on January 16th which will e held in Los Angeles. Email me for details and look forward for pictures from the celebration!

The Half Way Mark

Ok folks, so I am officially 5 months pregnant which means I am half way through my pregnancy, and only 20 more weeks remain. As this baby floats and tumbles inside of me I get more and more anxious to meet my little one. The baby’s sex has been determined and God has blessed Terrance and I with a little girl.

What's In My Belly

Here is one of my baby's first photos. I am so excited and I cannot wait to meet my unborn child. We have yet to determine the sex of the baby, but we find that out next week on November 11, 201o. I am hoping for a little girl, but whatever God decides to bless me with I will be thankful and happy for this blessing. I want to take a toll to see what people think baby Reaves just might be. A boy or a girl?
