38 Weeks

This week I've been pretty uncomfortable feeling a lot of pressure and I continue to experience the sharp pain of the baby pushing down. I've also lost part of my mucus plug (I'm sure you all want to know the details ;o)! We went to a different doctor this week since mine is on vacation this week and next week. Also, it's good to meet the other doctors since I can go at any time and you don't know who is will be on call! She checked me and said the baby is really low and she's not surprised I've been feeling a lot of pressure, also I am now 1 cm dilated, and 70% effaced. Well, at least I know I'm progressing! With that news, I finished packing my bag for the hospital, as a precaution.

This weekend will be pretty low-key for us. The Big 12 Tournament is on and I squeezed into my KU t-shirt today, I'm sure I look ridiculous, but I had to show my KU pride!

Eli has a cough...again, it doesn't seem to bother him except at night. We've been trying to get him to sleep on his own, so we've been gating his room at night. When he wakes up in the middle of the night he comes to the gate and is crying a little bit saying "Daddy, Mommy, Stoli", Aaron and I tell him "Night-night, go back to bed", and we can hear him walk back to bed, and crankily says, "Night-night", it's cute and funny.

Rhonda and Bill had another girl, I was able to see them and she looks very similar to Elise when she was a baby. I'm so happy for them, and proud of Rhonda for pushing out a 9 lb, 2oz baby, Claire Catherine.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Go KU!
