38 Weeks

August 27

1. I had a good appointment this week. I still haven't dilated, which made me discouraged at first. But then I realized that I still have 2 whole weeks until my due date so there is plenty of time for something to happen. 

2. I have gained a total of 21 lb now. The next 2 weeks shouldn't add too much so I'm happy with that!

3. This weekend, Caroline stayed with my parents on Friday night. It was fun to have a date night to Mellow Mushroom and just some time to relax and have some quiet time with Blake before all that changes soon!

4. Caroline was not sad to say goodbye to me when I dropped her off. She went to build a bear and made a Hello Kitty and she played at the splash pad... So fun!

5. On Sunday, we went to Navarre after church to have lunch with Grandmother and Grandaddy and spend time with them. They are down here for the week for vacation. We had a good time even though we didn't get in the water. 

6. Blake was out of town the beginning of this week, so of course something had to go wrong. My car battery died, and it took 3 different tries (with 3 different jumper cables) to get it started. Thankful for friends who come to help at the drop of a hat (Thanks, Rachel!) and strangers in the Shane's Rib Shack parking lot who stopped their day to help me. 

7. To add to that bad day, I came home and was going to monogram a hat with Sullivan's name on it. Well... This is how it turned out. :(

8. I am finally getting Sullivan's room finished with decorations and such! Nothing is hung on the wall, so I will wait to take pictures and reveal everything until that is done. This is just one part that will be on the wall above is changing table. 

9. I know I must be huge because so many strangers make comments about how this baby must be coming soon. It is so funny in church when people look at you and smile and then their eyes get wide when they see my belly. Haha! It's like it shocks them to see a pregnant lady. 

10. I am really hoping that my cervix will change this week before my next appointment. I would love to go into labor again without being induced, but we will see what this little man has planned!
