It's Almost Time!!

I can't believe we've made it to almost 37 weeks!!! Time has flown by! As I am approaching my (probably) final days/moments of being pregnant, it's hard to believe how long it's been since we found out the good news by that little plus sign back in January! There are things that I will miss about being pregnant, such as the little movements and kicks no one else even knew were going on, or the feelings of awe at this little one we created after hearing the heartbeat and seeing the ultrasound, but having him or her here will be the best miracle ever! We can't wait to meet our little one!!

We were back at the doctor on Friday for our weekly check-up and were told we are about to become parents any day! My body and baby are completely ready, whenever baby decides to come! Our doctor said she hoped to see us in the hospital before our appointment this coming Wednesday, and we hope she is right! I have been having pretty hard contractions since yesterday and was up sick last night, which we were told when we called into the hospital was probably the start of early labor. My contractions today are getting stronger, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully baby won't decide to wait too much longer!

We did try the metrodome theory yesterday by going to a Twins game, but it did not produce a baby yet! However, it definitely made for a nice amount of walking and stairs, which couldn't have hurt!! It was a really fun game though and nice to get out with some friends after not being able to do much this summer because of my bed rest. We also enjoyed going to Canterbury Park on Thursday night for dollar night (yes, we are cheap!!... we have a baby on the way!!!) with my brother, Stephen, and his girlfriend, Katie. Steve and I won big - $40 on a $1 bet!!! WHOO-HOO! Hopefully that luck will play into a short labor too!!!

We look forward to updating more soon, and hopefully with a birth announcement, rather than another doctor's appointment! Enjoy your last days of summer!!
