38 Weeks

Well, here we are at 38 weeks. I have really started counting down the days. If you ask me, I will tell you that he can come anytime he wants, and that's kinda true. Really though, if he needs to hang out in there and bake until he's actually due, then that's the way it will be, and I'm okay with that too. Nothing much else going on than that. I have another doctor's appointment on Monday morning, so we will see what (if anything) has changed by then.

No news....

So, another doctor's appointment today. I was kinda disheartened to find out that I haven't made any further progress since last week. I guess I just need to be patient, but that sure is a challenge for me. Oh well. I guess we will just hang in there and wait to see what next week holds. Patience is a virtue right?

36 weeks...making progress

Here we are at 36 weeks (+ a little). Getting closer every day. Saw the doctor today and was surprised to learn I have already started dilating. Crazy, scary, and exciting all at once! Colten will be here before we know it, and, despite labor, I can hardly wait! Now, if only I could get a good nights sleep sometime soon...maybe...

Election 2008 and other fun

Is it just me or is full-time, nonstop election coverage annoying? Do I really need to see every individual vote as it comes in? Oh well. At least it is only every 4 years. Hope everyone got out and voted though. It's important!

We had a childbirth class on Saturday. I truly believe now what they say about knowing being half the battle. Now that I know more about how labor et al works, I'm less intimidated by it. I guess that's a good thing since I don't have much choice now. :)

Meanwhile, we had two different showings of our house over the weekend. We haven't heard any feedback, but I at least find it reassuring that people are interested. We must be doing a little something right.

36 week pics and such to come this weekend.

Getting closer

Well, last weekend, we made a whirlwind trip to Tulsa. The main goal was to watch my next to the youngest sister, Megan, march at the football game. She's a Senior, and I wanted to see her one more time. Unfortunately, because of it being Fall Break (and therefore a lack of people), the marching didn't pan out. But then, on Saturday, I got to be there for Robin's (my pregnant sister) baby shower. It was fun to have us all together. Here is a pic of the group with me at the left, Autumn, Megan, and Tina (Meg's and Autumn's mom) with Robin front and center (like she should have been).
Then, we hurried home Saturday night so that I could be in town for the wonderful shower that several of the girls at church threw for me. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts and for putting it together. Thanks especially to Melanie for offering up her house for the shindig. It was a really great time. Here is a pic of me and a buddy from college, Jamie, at the shower.
This weekend, we took a trip to Athens to see Kevin's next to the youngest brother, Ryley, march with the Tyler Junior College Apache Band. It was great to see them, and we had a good time at the game. After that, we drove on to Yantis to spend the night with Bill and Norma and just enjoy some country time. Here is a pic of Kevin and I with his mom, Konni, and his brother, Ryley.
Finally, here is a pic of me at 34 weeks. Getting bigger everyday. I still get amazed by that. Only 6 weeks to go if he decides to hang out to the end. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow just to continue to check our progress. My mom is flying in Tuesday to see me for the evening and all of Wednesday, and I can hardly wait!

32 weeks and counting...

Well, here is my latest photo. 32 weeks. I can't hardly believe that there is only 8 weeks left to go (and that is if he doesn't decide to come early!). There are days that it seems like we just found out and this has gone by so quickly. Then I have days that I can't believe I have to still wait another 8 weeks.


One thing I have thought about lately is how excited I am to finally meet him and get to hug and kiss him, but then part of me is selfish and likes to feel him move around in there and will miss that. Is that normal?

On a random side note, I was sad to see Misty May-Treanor injured and unable to finish the DWTS season. However, I must admit that I have become a huge Warren Sapp fan. He is my current pic and fave. We will see what happens.

Well, until next time, if anyone knows someone looking for a 4 bed/2 bath home in the Hurst area, send them my way.

Daycare options

I thought I had picked a daycare out, but now I am not so sure. I know a lot of you are stay at home moms, but if anyone has any suggestions about a good daycare somewhere in the HEB area, I could really use the help. Time is running out! :{
