37 Weeks

I just returned from my 37 week doctor's appointment. I am 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. So my body is getting ready! I am feeling great. I've been having some painful contractions that can come on a semi-regular basis. They are still "false labor" contractions, but that means I'm preparing to bring this baby into the world. I am also busy finishing the nursery (curtains), getting Sipsey's supplies for school and dance, and preparing items for another big consignment sale in the middle of September. I have Sipsey's clothes and baby stuff in one now, and I'm officially obsessed. To know that I am not only cleaning out clutter, but also making money for it is quite addicting!



These images are from my 32 week ultrasound back in June. Their 3D/4D technology seemed far inferior to UAB's, but I'll take what I can get.

This had a nice profile image and the 3D one is pretty good if you can make it out the little face! At 32 weeks, babies still look a little funny. His hands were by his face the whole time just like Sipsey's were. The ultrasound technician said that 99% of all boys have their hands between their legs! Apparently it was rare for him to have his hands by his face. :)

Sweet little hand. That may be his face behind the hand. I want to document that this little guy has the hiccups A LOT. Well, they are either hiccups or he can kick in perfect rhythm. It's a funny feeling!



And now, some pictures of big-sister-to-be swimming at a friend's house. She keeps us on our toes!

I can't believe that Wheeler will be here so soon! I love his name, by the way! Sipsey has really taken to the water, hasn't she? Luke is getting better, but still mostly stays on the steps of the pool. He has finally gotten to where he will let our friends Zach & Savannah hold him out in the middle of the pool, and even let Zach dunk him a couple of times. Of course, he thinks they're the greatest, so he's a little more willing to try things with them! I think we're going to try swimming lessons next summer.
