Truckin along...

I just got back from the doctor's. I'm dilated to 1 cm, 80-90% effaced and the baby is at zero station. Doc said it could be any day now - he thinks I will definitely deliver in the next 2 weeks!

The Nursery







The nursery is finally done! We are really happy with how it turned out. Of course, as soon as Braylon can talk we are sure he will demand that it be re-painted! I really didn't think we were going to get it finished before he was born but now that everything is ready for him I feel so much better.

I have been having lots of contractions over the last couple of days. I hope that is a sign that he is coming soon. I don't know how much longer I can keep up with my regular work schedule. To say it is difficult is putting it lightly. So think thoughts of labor for me!!!

36 Week Checkup

We had our 36 week check up this morning. Things are going great. I'm actually 80% effaced and the baby is almost to zero station. No dilation yet but the doc said that is typical because of the cervical surgery I have had. Typically after surgery a woman's cervix will totally thin out before it dilates instead of thinning and dilating at the same time. He also said that I could deliver anytime! Sweet! The baby looks great and we are guessing that he will be about 7 or 8 pounds - perfect as far as I'm concerned. My doctor and my husband actually decided that it would be really convenient for their schedules if I had the baby this weekend. Babies always come when it is convenient right?! I let them know I would see what I could do to make that happen for them!

We ordered the last of the must-have items a couple of nights ago so once those get here we are totally ready! It is really exciting to be so close and to feel so prepared. Now all we need is the little one... :)
