Update

I had my dr appointment yesterday and it went well, he said I was at 3 cm. I had been at 2 cm for the past two weeks so I was glad there was a change. He also stretched my membranes and said that should help the baby come soon. We'll see... I had a few contractions on Wednesday and couple more last night but nothing significant yet. I have Jamey (my brother-in-law) ready to update here and on my facebook as soon as we head to the hospital and then again when the baby has arrived.

40 Weeks!!!

As of today, I am 40 weeks pregnant! God is so good! What a miracle to have this little boy growing (and growing and growing and growing) inside of me! We can't wait to meet him and hold him in my arms instead of my belly. I have an appointment this afternoon so I will try to update again after that. Here is a picture from Tuesday night.

"At least another week"

That is what the dr said at our appointment yesterday... I was kind of bummed, but that's okay. Our dr is out of town from today until Monday evening so I guess it's okay that we probably won't see our baby until at least lake next week.

It's done!

Brian finished the trim last night and he and my parents moved the furniture back into our bedroom. Brian and my dad also hung the curtains for me! Here are a couple before and after pictures.

What a day...

We had our 37 week appointment yesterday. The dr checked me and I am 50% effaced and a finger tip dilated. So at least something is changing, so there's the good news!

Here's the not so good news...
Brian and I started rearranging our room when we got home yesterday (so the pack n play will fit) and when we started to move the bed, we noticed that the floor was all wet behind it. Brian eventually found the leak (it's coming from a hose that is connected to the washer), but we're going to have to replace the flooring in our bedroom. The carpet is ruined, as is the carpet padding. We are also going to paint the room now too. Brian wants to paint before the new floor goes down (he's so logical). Unfortunately, there is a little mold growing on the wall where the water was coming in so he'll have to clean that up before painting. Then, he is going to paint it with white Kilz and then the light tan color I picked out. We are going to put the same vinyl wood flooring in our room that is in the baby's room. It goes in so quickly and easily that it is the best fix for now.

We thought we could just sleep on the living furniture but at 3:30 last night (when we were both awake and uncomfortable) we decided to go ahead and move the mattresses to the living room. After that, Brian slept much better... I was wide awake to I played on the computer for two hours until I was tired.

I am going to include some pictures of the damage and the way we get to live for a couple days. Normally, I would NEVER post pictures of my incredibly messy house but I figure you'll all understand that we were in the middle of a disaster and that's just the way it is. Please note, it's not normally like this.

Baby Shower #2

Last Sunday, I had my baby shower at the church. It was lots of fun, the food was yummy and there were lots of people. Here are some of the pictures

The Baby's Room

It's not done but here is a preview of the work in progress...

Like I said, we still have some work to do... I have to put all the little clothes away and get the curtains hemmed and hung up. I also need to find some thing or make some thing to put up on the walls... maybe my creative friends will have some suggestions for me:)
