We got through Christmas!!!

We are over 36 weeks pregnant now, so as of Sunday, there will only be 3 weeks remaining! I must say that as much as I complain about the pain and uncomfortability that comes with pregnancy, I love it! The baby is running out of room, so each day we can easily feel the butt, head, and feet! He or she is not moving around too much, but when there is movement... it is abrupt! It is fun to watch the hiccups, which I don't remember Cade ever having.

Caden is now sleeping in his big-boy-bed, and do I ever mean big boy bed -- it is a full size!! He is really enjoying his new bedroom set, so let's hope it stays that way after baby arrives too. :)

On the 14th we were in the hospital because of contractions that were 12 minutes apart. At that point they did give me a shot to push off the contractions. Then we had an appointment on the 27th, and they just said that the baby is doing well, and at this point they wouldn't do anything to stop or induce labor. My iron is back up to normal levels now, so there is no longer a concern for blood transfusions - thank God!

I'm still thinking that it is a girl, and Jarin thinks a boy. He was hoping for a 2007 tax deduction, but I'm not so sure that will happen anymore! Hopefully I'll get some more pictures posted soon. Miss you all and hope your holidays are meaningful!

The end is in sight!

Wow, I've been bad at updates! Since 28 weeks, we've been at the doc every two weeks. The hearbeat is still good, and hovering right over 150. Each time we go, they tell us that "the baby is of great size" which I could've told them from the pressure that I'm feeling! :) I've become anemic, even with iron supplements three times a day, so they are watching that closely.

Right now I'm 33 weeks along. Only 7 more to go until term, but if we go on Caden's birth schedule we are down to only one lonely week remaining! Last week I was dialated to 1.5 cm, which really means nothing ... except keep on going!

I'll catch you up again in another week or two...
