37 weeks, 3 days pregnant

I had my next to last doctor's appointment yesterday.  Everything looks to be going well.  Caitlyn actually cooperated with the doppler for once and the nurse was able to get her heartbeat quickly - 150 bpm - it was loud and strong.  Still no labor progress.  I've scheduled my last appointment before delivery for next Wednesday.  Time is flying!  As for me, I am definitely starting to get more and more uncomfortable.  Walking Daisy has become a challenge due to some pretty painful Braxton-Hicks contractions.  Plus she gets pretty impatient with me since I'm moving so slow now.  I've been trying to get things ready here in between bouts of extreme exhaustion.  Who knew sitting on the couch could be so tiring?  Today I've washed and sterilized all the bottles, pacifiers, dishes, etc. and am working on learning our new camcorder so we'll be ready when Caitlyn arrives.  That and cooking dinner will probably be the extent of my day's activity.  Still no word on Brian's trial.  He is holding out hope that they will reschedule because at this point if it starts up later this week or next he'll have to miss a good chunk of the trial.  I know he would really like the extra time over the next week to get everything transitioned for his 5 days out of the office.

  1. I will pray that the trial and the baby's birth and homecoming do NOT overlap. A week from today! Can you believe it?

    By the way, is this beautiful picture of YOUR belly?

  2. Good news - Brian's trial will be rescheduled. Probably to sometime in June. And yes, that belly pic is all me.
