How crazy?!? I will be 37 weeks (also known as "full term") in just 5 days! I cannot believe that we are this close to meeting our little baby boy! Things are still going wonderfully. I started my weekly doctor appointments this past Monday and I will go every Monday from here until he arrives. The doctor said that I am already starting to dilate and become effaced. I have also been having some contractions inconsistently. We will see if all this might mean that we get to meet our baby a little early. Nathan and I are both going back and forth between nervousness and excitement on a daily basis. I just cannot wait to hold Ethan and watch Nathan as he enjoys being a Dad. It is going to be the most amazing experience!!
The girls at work are giving me a baby shower this Wednesday after work. I am so blessed to work with a wonderful group of women. Every day I am in awe of the blessings I have in my life at home, as well as at work. I could have never dreamed that I would find a job that I enjoyed so much, with people that make it that much better!
We continued a tradition this year for New Year's Eve by joining all his co-workers to celebrate. I believe that this is the 3rd year we have done this and I love it! This year was a little different since I am pregnant. I spent most of the night on the couch catching some Zzzz's and keeping my feet up to avoid swelling. But you better believe I was up at midnight to ring in the New Year with everyone. What an exciting new year it will be for us.
Nathan has already told me that he has Ethan's first father-son outing planned. I had no clue what he was thinking when he mentioned it...and he quickly informed me that he would be taking his son to a record convention so that he can begin teaching him about vinyl early on. Ha! Out little boy is going to love his daddy. You just never know what you are going to get into with him! I really thought he was going to talk about an outing to a lake or river nearby...maybe a trip to Bass Pro Shops...possibly take him to a park or the nature center. But no...my husband wants to teach our baby about vinyl records. Should be interesting...LOL!
Well, time to go off to dream land. Hopefully my next post will be all about meeting baby Ethan.
