One Month!!

I can hardly believe that our due date is in only ONE MONTH! Time has flown by! We had our last biweekly doctor's appointment yesterday. Next week, we start going every week. Everything checked out great. I suppose things are starting to progress a little. I am 75% effaced and a loose 1 cm dilated (whatever that means). The doctor said that we most likely still have a few weeks to go. Sawyer's heartbeat was good and strong. He is measuring right on track at 36 weeks. Can't wait to meet our baby boy! I think we are ready to go when he decides he is ready. We finished up checking things off the to-do list last weekend. We got a few items returned and exchanged for other things we needed. The hospital bag is packed and so are our diaper bags. Will installed the car seat bases in our cars. We have the pack n' play and swing put together in the living room. Will's dad cleaned up and repainted the bassinet that his father and subsequent generations have slept in. We brought it home and got it set up in our room. I'm so glad that we are able to use this piece of Will's family heritage and tradition!

We purchased the material (navy with white polka dots) for the pillow shams and curtains. They are being made now, I hope they are ready in time for Sawyer's arrival. Although, I suppose he won't know the difference if they aren't ready or not. All in all, I think we have everything ready and organized. It's just a waiting game now.

In other news, two weekends ago we traveled to Atlanta to attend a friend's wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fun! I am glad the we decided to go. The car ride was not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be- I had stuffed pillows all around me.



Congrats Bob and Katie!

 Update on Will's brother Andy: Yesterday he had his dialysis port put in. He will meeting with his doctor's and learning how to use his port to do dialysis at home. He will start dialysis sometime soonish I believe. He is in good spirits and feels well. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for him and the family.

Otherwise, we are just working and trucking along waiting for Sawyer's arrival! We will have to miss my family's annual trip down to the low country this weekend for Memorial Day. I have been advised not to travel and certainly not to get on the boat out in the middle of nowhere. We do hope to get down to the beach sometime this summer though.

Hope everyone has a great week! We will keep you informed of baby news and updates.
