Whew… few days offline and I’m totally behind!

Where to begin? We had a good doctor’s appointment last Friday. We moved from 0 to 1 cm which doesn’t sound like much, but knowing you have to get to 10 cm, you’ll take just about anything. The doctor said technically we could “go any time” but that he’d be surprised if we didn’t make it to our next appointment, which is tomorrow.

He appears to be right on the money because despite a few contractions that lead no where and a lot of back ache I’m still all belly! So we have another appointment tomorrow and an *induction* scheduled for a week from yesterday – one day after baby D is due… May 22nd is also right between Grandpa Tunila and Grandma Grant’s birthdays…. It’s also a special date because it’s the four year anniversary of Mike and me meeting in North Carolina. We’ll see if we make it that far…

I’m weighing in at plus 33 pounds and have been pretty steady for the last few weeks so I expect this will be it. Just flirting with 200 at 194!

Work’s been good – I’m working from home so eliminating the commute has helped a lot! Mike’s finished the semester yesterday and Crossland is just about done for the year.

We’re ready – everyone’s waiting on baby!!

Grandma and Grandpa Tunila will be in VA visiting for the big arrival!

Another well check up…. 37 weeks!

The doctor said we’re right on track – but again, no progress really. He did give us some “homework” to help speed things along. Basically told us to “get busy” – oh my! :)

Baby D had hiccups for the first time the other night… everything was pulsating down there, but it had this calming rhythm – felt very strange but kind of cool.

We’re less than 20 days away from baby’s arrival! Everything is in it’s place (except for the car seats) and we’ve moved our room around to make room for the baby :)

SO EXCITED!!!
