We are finally in full swing in order to prepare ourselves and our house for Baby #2! It's about time, wouldn't you say?! The nursery to mostly complete. We are just waiting to see if the baby is a boy or a girl to add either blue or lavender accents to the sage green walls. The living room has baby gear ready (pack n' play, bouncy seat and swing) to get Caroline used to seeing them and (hopefully) get over the temptation to play with all of it every 5 minutes! All the baby clothes, burp cloths, bibs and blankets are ready to go, as well. At my last appt. (36 weeks) an ultrasound confirmed that yes, the baby had indeed, turned head down and that he/she weighed about 5 1/2 pounds. I was 1.5 cm and 50% effaced (for all of you that don't know exactly what that means, this is a G rated site, so look it up somewhere else!). My next appointment is this Tuesday morning, so we will see if any more progress has been made. I have been having pretty bad constant cramping/back pain since last Thursday, so hopefully we will be getting somewhere soon, since I will officially be full-term at 37 weeks as of this Tuesday! I would not mind being early, that is for sure!
We brought Caroline to a Fall Festival they were having in a nearby park this morning. It's funny going to a Fall Festival when it is about 90 degrees outside! Normally we would be apple picking in sweaters back East! Despite the heat, we had a great time. Caroline enjoyed trying out every jumping house, slide and tunnel she could find. She and her buddies Bryan and Amelia were thoroughly tired out when it was time to go home for naps!
