35 Weeks Almost There!

We made it to 35 weeks! At my doctor's appointment this week he said that if I can make it until next Monday that the baby would likely not have to stay any extra time in the hospital, so we are really hoping that we can hang on for a little bit longer. The doctor said that I am about 70% effaced which means that my body is getting ready for delivery and I could go into labor tomorrow or in 4 weeks. The baby is still really active and the poor guy is getting the hiccups about 4 times a day. That can't be comfortable for him or me.

A week from today I can go off of bedrest! I am super excited and have a whole list of things I want to get done before the baby comes. The days are getting longer as I am getting more and more anxious. Michael and I are both so excited to be parents. It's hard to believe it's so close.

Here are some pics from last weekend. Above is my friend Crystal, who you probably noticed routinely comments on the blog :) And below is Michael's cousin Marie who was in town with her family and Michael's grandparents having a celebratory dinner for her graduation from IU that day. Michael got to go out to eat with them...but of course I had to stay behind and only have his leftovers the next day :(


And here's a picture of my belly. I'm having trouble with my shirts fitting. Most of them no longer fit over my belly!
