Getting There

We went to the doctor this morning for our weekly checkup. She said I am still only at 1 cm - but I am now 75% effaced. She seemed a little surprised at how low Noname is sitting and said that she didn't think I would make it to my due date!! But then said that labor is always a guessing game so anything is possible. I am siding with her though and still think he is planning an early arrival. She said everything looks great and we're scheduled to see her again next week- if I make it that long! :)

Noname's nursery

We haven't done much in preparation for Noname, mostly because we already have the majority of the things we will need for him and also because we have had an extremely busy summer. We have opted not to buy Noname a new crib. Instead we are going to wait for Noah to transition to a bed and then move the crib to Noname's room. In the meantime, Noname will sleep in the pack-n-play bassinet. So right now, the only "nursery" items in his room are a changing table and pack-n-play. I did go ahead and order new bedding for him. What do you think? I decided to move away from the traditional blue this time and try something new- plus I didn't want to have to paint the already tan walls.

19 Days

We only have 19 days until Noname is expected to arrive. With Noah, I never dropped, dilated or had any progress before labor actually started- so I was pretty excited last week at my doctor's appointment when she said I was already 1 centimeter and 25% effaced. But of course the doctor had to burst my bubble and tell me that it is normal after your first pregnancy to show progress earlier. Whatever, I still think he is coming early! I go back to the doctor on Wednesday and hopefully I'll show a few more signs of getting close to delivery. I am getting pretty uncomfortable and it is getting hard to chase after Noah and to pick him up- and as you can tell from our recent video of Noname, he looks a little cramped!

Noname does the wave

We thought we would share a video of what the daily life of a 9 month pregnant lady is like. This video is from earlier this evening:
