May 30th Doctor Appointment

Baby is doing well. I am now dilated to 2cm and the baby's head is pretty low. The baby was also face up, so the doctor gave me some ideas of what to do to get her to turn and keep the contractions going if they start up again like they did last monday night. So far I've only had a contraction here and there but nothing steady. My parents got in last night and we're all hoping that she will come soon. I know that could be wishful thinking, but we're thinking positively here!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great weekend together enjoying the beautiful weather and just time together before B arrives. We were able to take some pictures out at the park on saturday afternoon. We had a lot of fun setting up our own shots and getting pictures of my belly before the baby comes. Of course, we can't wait to be taking pictures of our little girl!!!







On Sunday, we were invited over for pizza with a group of people from church. It was great to get to meet some of the church members. Later we headed to a small town nearby that had fireworks. For memorial day, Tom and I just slept in and worked on getting things ready for the baby, grilled steak and just relaxed.
Tom also took some pictures of the robin's nest outside our bedroom window. One of the eggs must of hatched that day. And the other egg must of hatched during the day because that night there were two of them in the nest.

As far as baby news goes, I had pretty strong contractions last night, but they quit this morning. My next appointment is on Friday. We'll let you know if anything changes.

Latest Dr. appointment

Yesterday I had my weekly doctor's appointment. Baby sounds great. I'm not dilated but the baby has dropped and is at -2 station. This means that she has dropped into position and is actually lower than when most women start labor. Of course, this explains the increased pressure to my tail bone. haha The doctor reminded us that first babies do tend to be later and usually arrive 5 days past their due date. So, now we just wait, and wait. I think we are ready for her. We're going to finish putting away everything in her room this weekend and get some final pictures to put up here on the website. I can't believe there's only 1.5 weeks left until her due date. Wow.
