36 Weeks!


We are getting so anxious for our little guy to get here!  I was in the hospital again this past weekend and Doctor confirmed that baby has DROPPED!  He thinks we have about 2 weeks left until baby arrives.  

Baby is in the downward position and ready to go.  He doesn't move much anymore, but it is cute feeling his little kicks and hiccups.  Since we weren't very prepared with the last scare, we have made sure to have everything taken care of this time around.  The nursery is complete, stroller and car seat in the car, hospital bags packed and a last minute list taped to the door.  OH!  And we finally picked a name, it's official!  BUT... we're not telling until after he is born.  (sorry!)  

I can definitely tell that my body is getting ready for delivery - won't go into the gross details, but definitely getting ready.  Andrew and I both have "allergies", however it feels like a bad cold, so we are hoping to recover before baby arrives and we lose even more sleep.  Pregnancy has honestly been rough, but I've heard with my EDS, delivery should be easier (fingers crossed).  Every day I wake up in so much pain thinking "I can't do this for one more day", and somehow God gets me through it.  I am confident He will give me the strength to finish this out.  

On the plus side, this was my last week of classes and clinicals.  As of today, I am officially certified and will only have one online class with the baby.  So excited I made it without delivering in the middle!  Glory to God!  Thank you all for the continual prayers and support, it has truly made this a much more enjoyable experience.  We will keep updating as much as possible in these next few weeks, and can't wait to get up some pictures of our little one :)
