Progress

37 Weeks
At today's checkup, Mommy is 1 1/2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. She will go back to the doctor next Wednesday. This weekend there were some Braxton Hicks contractions and I was moving a little too, but then slowed down a little because I'm running out of room. Yesterday was Mommy's first day of school so it was a very busy day to say the least. Daddy has a very important meeting is being sent to on the day I'm due, so Mommy's doctor said they will induce on Wednesday, September 12 if I haven't already come. I know Mommy is trying to get everything organized and make things work conveniently for Daddy and school, but I'm afraid I'm getting a little too anxious to come meet all of you. It's all in God's hands!

The Waiting Game

35 1/2 weeks
Mommy gained 8 pounds the last 3 weeks (so much for being on track on the scale!). I keep moving around, but the doctor said that my head had moved down so hopefully I'll get comfortable and keep my head down so I'll be in the right position to come out. Mommy will go back and see the doctor in two weeks (the day after school starts!).

Daddy took Mommy out to dinner and a movie last night and I had to remind them they weren't alone so I was giving Mommy some pain in her left side. But, she's pretty tough so it didn't stop her from enjoying the movie. I know there's so many wonderful friends and family anxious to meet me, so I'll try not to take my time coming out to meet you all - just have a little more patience with me until I'm ready!

Brotherly love

Here's how Mason "loves baby". He knows that Mommy has a baby in her tummy and when you ask him about it, he'll go pull up her shirt, pat the tummy a few times, then give it love.

Getting Bigger

Here I am at the beach in Mommy's tummy. Doesn't she look great?!! (This picture was taken in April. In July, Mommy put the same bathing suit on to play with Mason in the backyard and it didn't cover the whole tummy!)

33 Weeks
At this time, Mommy's only gained 29 pounds (lots less than when she had my big brother in her tummy!). I'm still moving around A LOT, and even though at the sonogram I was in a breech position, I think I've turned around from that, several times over. Mommy doesn't go back to the doctor until August 13, so we'll see what he has to say then when he does a full exam (yeah!).
I'm also pressing on Mommy's right side a lot. Sometimes you can even see some strange shapes coming off her tummy. I guess I must be getting a little bigger because Mommy doesn't seem to be eating as much food as before, and she's always going potty. I can't wait to get out and meet her, and all of y'all!
