What's goin on... =)

My deepest apologies for having not updated everyone prior to this. I guess I've allowed my resting to get in the way! Things have been going well... I'm still feeling good, but I'm getting to the point where I am very tired of being pregnant. I have been experiencing some contractions, but nothing major. Everytime he sees my stomach get tight, ScottE gets all excited thinking I'll go into labor soon. I'm trying to stay positive but I'm having a hard time... it's frustrating because I want him out!
At my last doctor's appointment, they checked me for the second time. Thus far, my cervix is thinning out but I'm not dilated at all yet. I try to walk around a little everyday to get things moving and to stay active.

ScottE has been very supportive and helpful. His office has been trying to keep him close to home but today he's in New Jersey. I'm just grateful they are at least trying. He has been home early most of this week which has been nice because we can go and walk around together. I find I walk slower when I'm by myself so having someone to keep up my motivation helps a lot!
I decided to take some pictures of the nursery today. Enjoy! =)

Here is the whole room! It's pretty big, especially for just one little guy...

Here's the changing table. I thought it would be a good idea to put some onesies on it!

This is our crib! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to allowing us to have this... Steve and Jess for giving it to us; the Herberts for the bed set and mobile; my mom for knitting one of Ender's first blankets! This boy better like dogs because we have so many stuffed puppies for him...


This was ScottE's dad's dresser when he was little. I'm so glad we have something special like this for our little guy.

I don't have all that much to hang up - having a boy and all! =) I just bought the hangers today and had to hang some stuff up! I can't wait to see him in those overalls...


I just love all of the little socks! I think they are so adorable. I thought a picture of them would be cute... and it is! I know I'm a goober, but this first-time mommy is super excited. =)

So, I'm playing the waiting game. I'm doing my best to stay well rested and hydrated. I'm also trying to finish the "Ender's Game" series before our little guy is born. I'm in the third book of four and I have less than 100 pages left in this book. I guess wish us luck - I'm really hoping to go into labor this weekend as my due date is next Tuesday. My next appointment is on Wednesday but hopefully some of you will get a phone call before then!
