Jace's Room

Here's Jace's room. It's all ready and waiting on him!There's a few things on the ottoman we still need to hang up.That is a little card Avaree made for Jace a few months ago.

37 weeks 3 days Appointment

Today was another weekly appointment with my Midwife. I am a "good 2" cm dilated and 60-70% effaced. Not as much progress as I was hoping but that's still good. I was also down 3 pounds (don't know how!) so now I'm 1 pound over my beginning weight! I have another appointment next Thursday, May 27, at 11am.

My Sleeping Beauty

I went to check on Avaree a little while ago and I found her like this. She fell asleep reading before 9:00! I took these pictures mainly so I could show her what she looks like because the other night she asked me how I get her books from her when she's asleep without waking her up.Doesn't she look so sweet when she's sleeping?

Big Sister/Little Brother Shirts

I found some shirts for Avaree and Jace on Etsy that I loved but couldn't see paying $28 each for them. So I decided to try to make them, with some help from Mom! They turned out great and I can't wait for them to wear them.We also got these Carter's outfits for them!

37 Weeks = Full Term

We've made it! We're officially full term, so Jace, you can come whenever you're ready! Please don't make us wait too long! Will we have a May Baby or a June Baby?!?

We had a good weekend making last minute preparations for Jace's arrival. His car seat base is installed in the car. All his clothes are washed and put away. His room is complete and his bassinet is in our room. Batteries are in his swing and seat. Our bags are [almost] packed and ready to go!

We have a nephew!

William "Matthew" is here! He was born April 26 at 2:09 pm. He was 7 lb 2 oz and 21" long. Congratulations Stephanie and Will! He's precious!

Getting Closer

Yesterday afternoon I had an appointment with my midwife at 36 weeks 3 days. I lost 1 pound (I really think they were wrong last week when they said I had gained 4) so now I am up 4 pounds! I am "almost 2" cm dilated and 50% effaced!! YAY! Hopefully I'll keep making progress, I feel like I am. We only have a little over 3 weeks left until our due date, but I'm thinking he may decide to come before then! I hope so anyways! Here's a couple of pictures from the beginning of the week--36 weeks.

And my bare belly! ha ha
