The last belly picture...how do I know? I am being induced at 9am tomorrow (Monday). So, by the time many of you see this post, Jack will be here! We are SO excited and just can't wait to meet him. Soon, we'll be posting baby Jack pictures instead of belly pictures!
No news from the last appointment, no change. We're still just waiting! In the meantime, things keep marching along at work and I'm ready say "I'm done, going on leave now!" But, I'll wait. I'm still feeling pretty good, just exhausted. My doctor still thinks I won't make my due date, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever have this baby! They should just lie to me and tell me I'm not dilated at all, then I'd be fine. Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers, we'll do our best to let you all know when it happens!
A very full 37 weeks...today I'm actually just 38 weeks. We had an appointment on Friday at which they said I was 3-4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I have another appointment tomorrow, of course they have no way of knowing if little Jack is coming sooner than expected. If there is any new news I'll try to update tomorrow! Thanks to everyone who's sent good thoughts and prayers!
Getting close...we have doctor appointments every week now. On Friday I was 2-3 cm dilated...she said it could still be a couple weeks, but that I probably wouldn't make my due date, and that it could be any day. Just trying to make as many preparations as possible at home and at school now. We'll do our best to let everyone know if/when anything happens!
It's a little late, but we've been having some internet problems. I had a lovely three day weekend and this week, so far, has been non-stop action. Things are not going to slow down anytime soon! I do have a sub and she's able to come in for a couple days to observe and get familiar with the kids and the school. It won't be long now!
Yes, I missed week 31...it's been busy. I started back at school with students last Monday. It was a very long week. Hopefully this year's group won't be as challenging. Things have gone well so far, except I have one little boy who cries when he has to draw or write or over anything that goes wrong, and one little (very little, like 3 feet tall) boy who just "can't take it" sometimes, like when his nose is running or his eyes are watering. After we get over those little bumps I think things will go smoothly.
Well, we've finally completed our move. While it was nice to have an entire month to move over our things at our leisure, it also feels really great to be done and have only one apartment. This morning we picked up our few remaining possessions and turned in our keys. We slept at our new place for the first time on June 19th and are now comfortably settled in. We were without cable or internet until about 2pm yesterday so we have some catching up to do!
One of the things keeping us busy this past week was receiving some of our nursery furniture. We had a whole crib fiasco, the minute details of which I will not go into. Let's just say after several long and confusing phone calls and trips to Babies 'R' Us by my mom and ourselves we ended up with exactly what we wanted in the first place! We now have both the dresser and the crib assembled and set up in Jack's room. It looks great, and I can't wait to get everything set up!
