Fathers Day

Here are a few pictures of Mena and Daddy on Fathers Day. They have been best pals this summer!

39 weeks!

INDUCTION

The date is set!!!! They are going to induce me on Wednesday at 6pm with a prosteglandin gel or pill. I should have baby Joshua in my arms by Thursday late afternoon! Hooray! We are so excited! Please pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. I would have updated earlier and more frequently but my internet is down. I am at the library writing this and will bring my laptop to the hospital.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Daddy/Daughter time

Now that my husband has been out of school for the past few weeks, Mena and him have been best pals. They spend lots of time outside together and mornings are their bonding time while I sleep in. I love these recent shots of Mena and her Daddy and wanted to share them with you.

38 Weeks

I am now 38 weeks pregnant. My hospital bag is packed...car seat will be installed today...room is ready...clothes washed. I feel good. I am now ready for this baby to come out. I am not sleeping well at night anymore and am so excited to meet the little tike who constantly moves around and wakes me up! I have been having some braxtin Hicks contractions and the other night I think I felt a few of the real thing. They weren't long enough or consistent enough for me to go in to the hospital but at least something may be happening. At my appointment on Friday I was still only dilated to one and have no effacement. Hopefully by my next appointment on Monday I will be showing some more signs of readiness. Of course, I wouldn't complain if Josh decides to come before that appointment either!

37 weeks

Well, I am 37 and a half weeks along in this pregnancy! I am so ready to have this baby. I have been feeling a lot of Braxtin Hicks and a few regular contractions lately and had some other signs that delivery is eminent! I hope Joshua chooses to come sooner than later though as I am not comfortable sleeping and leaving the house is just not on my list of favorite things to do anymore. I am so excited to meet the little fella! Mena is ecstatic about having a new sibling and can't stop talking about him. I hope all goes well with the two of them after he comes out.
I am dialated to one cm. I have my next OB-GYN appointment on Friday and am looking forward to seeing how much progress has been made. Hopefully some!
