40 Weeks!

So here I am at 40 weeks and 3 days. I didn't think this was going to happen again! It looks like we are going to get an induction date of July 11th if everything works out as planned. I've been walking everyday, we even went to the mall on Tuesday so I could walk in the AC. I feel like I've been averaging a few miles a day. Tonight Trey and I went to Provinos to so I could eat their Eggplant Parmesan. I ate every bit of it! Now we just sit and wait...

Noah's Nursery

This is the same rocker I used in Kinley's room. Lenny and I recovered the cushions...again.

Here are some pictures of Noah's nursery. We still have to get his bookcase set up and a take care of a few other minor details. I think it turned out great and can't wait for him to get here and use it!

39 Weeks

So I really thought we would have a baby by now. I guess I should have known better. I'm feeling okay, just uncomfortable. It's hard to get on the floor and play with Kinley and my legs and hands are starting to swell a little. I had my weekly doctors appointment today and I'm 2 cm dilated. I have made a little progression from last week. My doctor would really like me to go into labor naturally, so they set my induction date for July 11th. That way I still have 10 more days to do it on my own. I will be taking alot of long walks over the next week to see if I can get things going.

38 Weeks..

38 weeks..only 2 weeks left! I haven't had any contractions or signs of labor yet. I go to the doctor again on Friday so I'm sure they will check to see if I have dilated any more. Emily came over yesterday and we starting hanging up the train on Noah's wall. We are going to finish up on Saturday and his nursery will be done!

I'm feeling good, just uncomfortable. I've been trying to walk everyday to move this process along. I guess he is just going to come when he wants...just like his sister :)

37 Weeks

No real changes this week. The doctor said I am measuring perfect and his heartbeat sounds strong. I don't have my next appointment until Friday (24th), I'm kinda hoping Noah is here by then. I haven't had any contractions or signs of labor so it will probably be a couple more weeks. He is moving great and gets the hiccups all the time. Usually 2 times a day! My doctor said that is just him getting ready to breathe air. We have my bag packed and are putting the car seat in this weekend. We are ready for his arrival!

36 Weeks

Only one more week until I am full term! This pregnancy has gone by so quickly. This week at my doctors appointment we weighed, measured, listened to his heartbeat, did by strep b test, and checked for dilation. I am actually already 1.5 cm dilated. It could still be weeks until I go into labor, but at least it's a start :) I'm feeling good, but not sleeping very well. I wake up all night long whether it's to rollover, use the bathroom, or because of killer leg cramps. I guess this is just preparing me for being up at night with Noah.

His room is looking really good. Crib and changing table are up. Trey's mom was so sweet to wash all of his newborn clothes so those are ready for him too. All that's left is to get the glider cushions covered and get his stuff hung up on the wall.

And his name is...

Noah Reed Donaldson!!
