38 Weeks!
I went to the dr yesterday for my 38th week check-up and left disappointed. They say that nothing is progressing and I probably will be seeing them for a couple more weeks yet...rats! I was really hoping that something would be going on, but the little squirt will come when he's good and ready-and when God tells him it's time to leave mommy's ever growing belly :). I haven't gained any weight for about 3 weeks, but somehow this little guy is still growing. last week when they measure me, he was at 37, and this week he is at 39...who gave him permission to skip 38? I certainly did not, he needs to understand his mommy has never done this before so he needs to be the tiny adorable little 6 lb newborn and not the massive 9 or 10 pounder.
Squirt, if you can hear me-and i know you can, please don't get too big!!! or come earlier than you are planning!
In other news...we started painting the master bedroom. We picked the colors according to our bedspread...baked bean and something else. When we opened the baked bean, i was a bit apprehensive to put it on the wall b/c it was such a bold color. However, we started painting and I think i really like it! the other color will be a creamish color, which i need to go down into the basement and find it...wherever it may be.
We painted the ceiling this past weekend and we took the bright light out,(not the toy) before it had dried. So when we brought the light back in to paint the walls, I saw for the first time how horrible my painting skills are when it comes to painting ceilings. There were huge spots where I pretty much completely missed! It's really hard to paint white on white b/c you can't see where you've been. So, unfortunately, we need to open up the ceiling paint again and redo what we've already done...rats! I know what we'll be doing this weekend with Chad's parents if we don't get it done tonight :)
I've posted some better nursery pics for your enjoyment. I apologize for the last ones, they weren't very good. These are a little better.
This is the view from the doorway
Our cute hamper, rocker, and lamp :)
The mobile that will hopefully put him to sleep dreaming of cars!
Bedding-I just love the car theme!!!I can't wait for our little guy to move into the nursery...it just doesn't feel complete without him here.
Please pray for Chad to come up with a name for the squirt so he doesn't have to go by Squirt when he is born. We had a name picked and now we are rethinking. Chad has the burden/privilege of picking the name...11 days left to decide :)
and for kicks and giggles, here's a pic of our friends' 2 year old daughter wearing chad's Troll mask...hilarious.

The drs can't really tell when you're going to go into labor. I went in for my 39 wk appt with my first and had absolutely no progression...my water broke at 3am that night. With my second, I was dilated to 1cm at my 37/38 wk appts and my water broke a few days later. So you never know! Good luck with everything. I can't believe you're still painting! I was lucky if I could get off the couch!
Don't forget, Emily. I was 4 cm. for almost a week and almost had to be induced.
It will happen! Love ya!
