39 Weeks.....and Desperate!!!

Oh my goodness we want this little guy out of the belly and into our arms....especially me, but Daddy is getting rather anxious as well :-) Yesterday we took a trip up to 4,000 ft (Mary's Peak) to try the 'change in elevation' trick. Did it work? Well, it's 24-hours later and Little n is still in the oven...guess not!

I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks and some other signs that tell me this is likely progressing. Last week I was one cm dialated and 60% effaced. I have my next appointment on Weds and we will see where we go from there. I keep wishfully thinking that perhaps I won't make it to the next appt.....Little n keeps proving me wrong!

Nursery Pictures - 37 Weeks - Full Term!

The nursery is mostly complete....and it's a good thing because he is on his way :-) Here are some photos of the finished product. There are still a few finishing touches to be added....Traci is making letters to hang above the crib to spell his name--yes, still top secret--and his matching hamper is being shipped to us. We are very excited to bring him home to his new room (not that he will be sleeping in there right away--who are we kidding?)

Our last Dr. appt was last Tuesday and we go back tomorrow. Weight gain was 27 pounds....he is packing on the weight, but I seem to have slowed down, thank goodness. Nate and I were both born at 38 weeks, so we are wondering if perhaps he might follow suit. You never know! On the flip side, he does seem to be pretty comfortable in there...all packed in like a sardine....better wash the swaddling blankets!

The plan for the big day is for Kara to post a blog for us once he makes his grand entrance. We will try to include pictures and of course, the top secret name! Stay tuned.....
