Baby Update

I had my 38 week doctor's appointment today and it doesn't look like I will be having the baby this week! I am only dilated to a one. I am fifty percent effaced and the baby is at a -1 station. The baby has definitely dropped which is good and he is head down, so when he is ready to come at least he is going the right direction! I am definitely getting tired of being pregnant, but as long as the baby is still doing okay I can last a while longer.
I bought some fun baby stuff today! I got a pack-n-play that is so cute! It matches our stroller and car seat set. I also got a really cute diaper bag. I have been trying to find one that I like and that didn't cost $200 and I found a really cute one that was on sale for $13! I am such a bargain shopper! I also got some cute little pants and a Halloween costume for him at Old Navy. It is a monkey outfit and is so cute, so look forward to pictures the end of October! Then, I went to Target and got a Boppy and some onesies and a few other little items. I spent too much money, but it was fun and I got some really cute things!
So, even though I was disappointed that I haven't progressed much, I still had a fun and productive day!

K girl, drink a whole bottle (like the huge ones) of cranberry juice, walk ALOT if you have stairs those work good, and don't forget have some fun with your hubby ;-). Baby will come before you know it!! HA HA, jk, don't you just LOVE everyones advice. No, Crae was due Dec 24 so I did all the above and he came early (he actually came the day after i drank the whole thing of cranberry juice and walked the stairs for 2 hours) Ha ha. I was a bit extreme. But anyways I love ya girl and when he gets here it will be worth the wait!!!

HEy hang in there I know how hard it is those last few weeks when you want your baby SOO bad and he just wants to stay in his warm place in your belly, but he will get here adn then you will forget all about how hard it was to wait for him and it is even hard to remember what life was like without him! I am SOO excited for you!! and you are so close, but yet to you I know it prob seems so far ha ha!! Well it sounds like you are a bit more patient than I was atleast but it is just so fun so dont worry he will be here soon and then your whole likfe will get so much better!!
