Time to start the count down!

I had my 38 Week appointment today!  I feel like my belly has definitely dropped and co-workers have been commenting too so I was very excited to see if I've progressed. I haven't felt any contractions or had any other labor signs though so I'm pretty sure I will make it to the 10th. With that said, I have progressed from a 1.5cm to a 2-3 as the Dr. put it!  I see a 3 as pretty far along so now I'm not so sure I'll make it but we will see. He did say Anderson was still pretty posterior so he thinks I'll have a few more days but couldn't guarantee a week. Either way, we are ready!  There are a few minor things that we need to do it the next day or so just to be ready but honestly, we live so close to the hospital so if James needs to come back home after Anderson is born to do anything it will be easy. As they say in Jamacia, NO PROBLEMS, NO WORRIES MAN! (with the A in man making the "o" sound ) =)  So, with that said, this may be my last post before Anderson's sweet face is revealed!!!  The planner in me would really like to make it to the 10th so we will keep hoping for that but I think I better get a poll started on stats and details on Anderson soon just in case.  I've also taken a picture as it may be my last one so enjoy!

38 weeks!

It's almost go time!

     Man, it's hard to keep up with posts when you go to the Dr. every week!  Last Thursday I had an appointment and I'm so happy I've only gained 24lbs!! I'm right on track with my other pregnancies in weight gain.  I still think my belly looks smaller than with both other boys though. 
     First the Dr. listened to the heartbeat which sounded great.  Then he measured my belly and said I'm just hiding it which is common in 3rd pregnancies apparently because I'm only measuring 34 weeks and Im 37 so maybe Anderson will be a little guy too!   He also checked for dialation and I was almost dialated to a 2!! This just means the process is starting but I still have a little time.  I havent felt any contractions or anything unusual so I'm sure I'll make it to my appointment this Thursday and see if anything has progressed further.
     So, two weeks from today I will be induced unless Anderson decides to make his debut earlier!  It's coming very fast!  I'm almost done with all my sub plans so hopefully he can hold on a little longer until I get them done.  
     I've gotten all Anderson's clothes washed an hung and purchased all that we need to get started.  The last thing I need to do is wash the car seat and we will be set.  
    Sorry I have no pics this time but yesterday I did post a great video of Anderson moving in my belly on facebook so if you havent seen it check it out.  The video doesnt do it justice but it's still pretty cool! 
     So that's it for now, Ill post as soon as I can after this Thursday's appointment!

Only 4 weeks left....WHAAAATTT????

    I had my 35 week appointment today!  Two weeks ago I had an appointment and finally after an hour and a half they told me he had just delivered a baby and was about to deliver another one so I could wait or reschedule!  Well that's all good but I wish they would have told me that an hour earlier!  It wasn't an important appointment anyway and I had been feeling fine and had no questions so of course, I didn't wait for him.  Luckily they let me reschedule my next appointment for 2 weeks later instead of having me come back just a few days later.
    So, this time everything is still going really smoothly.  I have no complaints and just cant believe its so close!  When he went to check Anderson's heartbeat, the minute he put the cold gel on my stomach Anderson kicked back and Dr. Hinds was like, WHOA!  Then he did it three more times and Dr.Hinds didn't even need to find the heartbeat to know this baby is strong and healthy =).  I told him Anderson is like that ALL DAY! Crazy boy!  
     We also booked our induction day!  We want the 10th so Dr. Hinds said to book the evening of the 9th that way depending on how dilated I am I can go in that evening or if I am far enough along I'll just go in the morning of the 10th. He said it would be easier to change it to a later date/time than to go earlier.  
  I now start going EVERY WEEK and he will check me for dilation next week. That's insane! It's 4 weeks until the 10th and I only have 3 more appointments with him.  Its starting to hit us that our n world is about to change drastically! Good thing we have experience!  
     I ll leave you with some cute brotherly love pics:
