Just a waiting game...

So this morning we had another sonogram done. At my last doctor's appt. on Monday, I was only dialated to a 1 and 50% effaced. I was also still measuring really small at 36 weeks instead of the actual 39 weeks. So he ordered another ultrasound to make sure all was OK. I was definitely not OK as I waited though! Well, according to the sonogram, he weighs in at a healthy 7lbs 7 oz! YEAH! Trav just about rolled his eyes when they told me that everything looked fine. He was not in the least worried. You see, we went through this whole ordeal two months ago when they said I was too small and the ultrasound proved otherwise. Leave it to the mom to stress and the dad to play it cool :) They said the head is down and in position and the placenta is full term, so it's any time now! So I feel a bit like Rachel on FRIENDS when I look at sonogram pictures.... anyone know what episode I'm referring to? Sometimes I just can't "see" it. What I see looks more like an alien.... but I liked this first one because of his chubby cheeks. I can't wait to squeeze 'em!

This one shows his nostrils, haha. My little piggy :)

And we didn't even have to wait for him to be born to make sure he has all his fingers and toes! Well, actually Trav pointed out that this is just one foot. He could have six toes on the other one, sigh. :)

So I've been off work for almost two weeks now and finally feel like my "checklist" is complete. I just need to run to Target to buy the camera I decided on and return some stuff to Hobby Lobby. Also, the nursery is complete, minus one rocking chair and the vinyl lettering I ordered. I just can't post pics til its totally done! The other night I got in bed and took my two prenatal vitamins,washed down by two Tums, applied my chapstick and snuggled in with my body pillow between my legs. Trav had to chuckle at my "routine". I've been feeling pretty good except that after I've been sitting for a while, it takes a few minutes of bent-over hobbling to work it out and walk "normal".

So this is random, but here's a pic of what we entertained ourselves with Sunday night. We played Buzz word with some friends, then somehow the guys got into a "wedding ring spinning contest" You can see the trepidation on the guy's faces as they rooted their ring on. Us girls loyally cheered our men on! Not. But we endured the noise without too much complaining :)

Last Wednesday I went to my first SuRpRiSe PaRtY! I naively went to Tiff's house for mutual and opened the door to all the YW shouting Surprise! And I was definitely surprised.

We had lots of yummy treats..

And played some fun games... The girls tried helping me name the baby in one game. They had to come up with one name per letter in the alphabet. Some suggestions included JC Penny and Oreo :) I also got some cute onsies, bibs, a blanket, and lot's of free babysitting coupons! Thanks YW and Tiffany for such a fun night!
