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!!

35 Weeks

I've been feeling good this week even though it's been so HOT! Over 90 degrees every day! Everything went well at my doctors appointment. His heartbeat sounds strong and he is head down. The doctor suggested we get the car seat in the car, get his crib ready, and pack my bag just in case he decides to come a little early. We will be working on all those things this weekend :) I had a couple of contractions but nothing regular enough to time. We also decided this week that we will be storing his cord blood. We have thought and prayed alot about this decision and know that it is the best thing for our family.

Our friend Lindsey took some maternity pictures for us this week. She did a great job!
