38 week appointment

Just got back from our 38 week appointment (I am 37 wks 4 days today). Still just a fingertip dilated, 50% effaced, -2 station. Baby hasn't dropped yet and besides some cramping and annoying Braxton Hicks, there hasn't been much action! Trying to remind myself that I have 2 more weeks and that I can start getting impatient then. : ) Korey and I have been watching a childbirth DVD called Laugh and Learn About Childbirth. It's broken down into little 20 or 30 minute "classes" so we've been trying to watch one every night. Since we didn't take any childbirth classes at the hospital, this has been very helpful and the lady who teaches it is actually pretty funny and entertaining.

Yesterday I organized and cleaned for 6 hours (not sure if it was "nesting," I was really just making myself finally get things done). The nursery is finished. Michelle has to finish painting the tree mural over the baby's crib and Korey is putting our rocker/glider together today. I love how everything came together and I'm proud to say that most everything was borrowed/given to us/refurbished from Goodwill. We enjoyed "going green" by using eco-friendly paint, bamboo blinds, organic sheets, and recycled furniture and art pieces! I will post pics a little later.

Posted! I had a dream last night that you announced you were having a girl and naming her Charlotte. Ha... Who knows where that came from.

Chris and the boys are all hoping for a girl. I told them not to get their hopes up! :)
