37 week belly!

this has been such a crazy week, went to the midwife on thursday afternoon and was measured at 37 inches and 2 cm dilated! i was so excited :) they say most likely in the next two weeks we should meet wee watson! i go back today to get measured again and see how effaced i am (how thin my cervix is getting) to see if i have made any progress.
another sign wee is near is that i have been having lots of braxton hicks contractions-"practice contractions" as they call them that mimic labor contractions. they are getting more intense and more frequent, a sign this baby is getting ready! his/her head was down and ready for labor :) i will report later today about any progress! fingers crossed! i am SO ready to meet this little one!!!

my body and mind are completely nesting, i never bake but this morning decided to make pumpkin muffins- SO yummy :)

hank and i have packed our bags and have the car seat all ready. we are going to install the seats in our cars this week so that piece is checked off as well :) i really can't believe how close we are to meeting this little one. i tear up just thinking about holding him/her, seeing hank be a dad, us learning together about how to be new parents, sharing this new life with all those we love...ahh, i just can't wait. so so so blessed.

more to come later!
