39 Weeks!!!

K, I lied. I thought it fun to post another picture because there are obvious changes between the last one I posted (37 Weeks) and this week. He is definitely bigger and more infant looking. This weekend is one of my biggest events of the year - one in all honesty I was hoping to avoid. Apparently, little man thought it best to come along for the ride. Wish us luck! XOXO, Sara

38 Weeks!!!

No fun picture this time because I feel like it really doesn't look that different at this point from week to week. We had our weekly appointment on Wednesday. My weight hasn't changed (thankfully) but my belly is measuring an additional 2cm's from last week - so baby boy continues to grow. We were also told that I am currently dilated to 2cm's, which is great news to me because it's like starting a basketball game with 10 points already on the board - we're on our way! Wednesday morning I was also excited (sorry if this is TMI) to loose a large portion on my mucus plug. Contractions come and go. Sometimes a few an hour and sometimes none but at least my body knows what to do and now it's just a waiting game. Life goes on as usual - I went to yoga this morning, had a haircut this afternoon, Aaron is playing poker this evening, etc. Hopefully you're all doing well and getting as excited as we are to meet our little man. Keep sending your warm fuzzies - we feel them! xoxo, Sara

36 1/2 Week OB Appt. Update

So, we're on our way! This morning we had an OB appointment and were told that my cervix is beginning to thin and as of right now our baby weighs approximately 6.5 lbs! I will keep you posted in the days and weeks to come as we get closer to baby.
