37 weeks and a big belly!

We have now begun the 25 day countdown. I am trying to stay busy so that I don't think about how much longer there is. I am now seeing the doctor every week and last time I saw him I was 50% effaced. I was disappointed because I was hoping to be a least a little dilated. The official plan is that unless the baby comes early I will be induced on Sept. 17th. My doctor is awesome and he is letting us plan the induction so that my mom can better plan her work schedule in order to be here for the delivery. He said the only reason he would not induce me is if my cervix is still closed and there is not really any progress, because if that is the case the induction medicine might not work. In one way I really want my baby to come early but in another way I don't because if he does come early my mom will not be able to come because of her work and other commitments she has. I really only want my mom and Mike in the delivery room but if my mom can't make it then I guess it only going to be Mike. So that is the update for now, love you all!

Picture Update

Here are some pictures of the crib and the bassinet...

and the BOREDOM sets in....

As the time slowly creeps by I find myself counting down the hours and the minutes of each day, I AM SO BORED!!!! I am still working but not as many hours as I used to so that might be a factor. Plus Mike is working a lot and all I do while he is gone is watch TV and movies. I miss the days when I was able to work out, run around, dance, and do all the other things I could do! What can I do to occupy my time for the next few weeks. I really would like to scrapbook my wedding pictures but we are so poor we don't have enough money to print our pictures out ha ha. So if there are any good ideas that will help me pass the time please please let me know. On a happier note, Mike was accepted to Brigham Young University- Idaho. This is the best news we have heard in a long time and I am so proud of him. Getting accepted to college is a huge thing for him and I am so proud of the man that he has become. He is really stepping up to be the kind of husband and father that the baby and I both need. We don't know what track he got in for yet but we are hoping he will either start in January or May of next year. He doesn't know what he wants to study yet but for now he will just work on his generals. We are both really happy and can't wait for him to start. Well until next time....
