Doctor Appointment

Well I had a doctors appointment today. The baby has turned!! Yeah! I am so happy! And I have dialated to almost a 2. Progress is being made. I have had contractions on and off all weekend. It is exhausting not only physically but emotionally too! I keep thinking that it's going to progress into the real thing, but then they stop. I have decided that he will come when he is ready and I need to stop worrying about it so much. I'm trying to just keep busy and occupy my time so I don't think about it. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and support! I appreciate it!

Update

Well no baby yet which is probably a good thing considering how busy Bryan has been at work lately. He has been working past midnight almost every night this week. Last night he didn't go to bed until 4:45am and then got up at 7:30am! Poor guy! I think he is looking forward to this baby coming so that he can have a break from work! I just hope he can get some sleep. I know that's probably not very likely with a new baby, but it can't get any worse than it has been. Right?
The baby has definitely dropped and he is head down. The only problem is he is turned on his side on my right side. This is going to make it harder for me to dilate, labor will probably be longer and I will probably experience back labor. I have been crawling around the house, doing the cat and dog yoga exercise, and sleeping on my left side to try to get him to turn but nothing seems to work. Any other ideas? He is just comfortable where he is! Hopefully he will turn right away once I go into labor. I'm hoping he will come this weekend. Bring on the spicy food, running, and castro oil.

Baby Shower!

My visiting teachers Laura and Kate threw me a baby shower the other night! We had such a great time. Thanks girls! We ate delicious food, visited and opened lots of super cute gifts! This little boy is going to be the best dressed little guy! Thanks everyone! I'm so excited!

Who Needs Toys?

My creative little boy found a stick, a box and a spool of thread today and has been quite entertained! First he put them all together and made a "violin". He carried it around all morning saying, "play violin" and making strumming sounds. When he woke up from his nap he was quite concerned about finding his violin. Next it became a fishing pole. Here he is telling me about how he is fishing with his dad and Uncles. After that it became his weed eater! He drug it on the ground making some great weed eater noises that I can't even make. Now it's his vacuum! Oh he cracks me up!! I love what he comes up with!

3 Weeks Left!!

I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left! Where has this pregnancy gone? I am feeling more prepared, ready and excited to have this baby! The nesting phase has definitely kicked in. I have been deep cleaning and reorganizing, finishing projects and trying to get everything done. I am a little nervous about having two little ones. I hope that Aiden adjusts well to having a little brother. He talks about him all the time. When ever he sees his baby pictures he points to them and says, "baby brother". It's super cute! And he makes sure we pray for him all the time. I'm sure he will be a good big brother!

A few pictures from our trip!

Yay I have my camera charger back! Unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures. I forgot my camera on several occasions and was more worried about taking care of a sick baby. These pictures are from the first part of the trip when Aiden was healthy and happy! We spent a lot of time playing at the park and at the pool. Aiden loved playing with all of his cousins!
