Quick Update
I had a dr. appt today, so I thought I would quickly update here. I had the strep test done and my dr. checked me for dilation. No dilation as of yet and no thinning. I don't remember it hurting so bad with JR when I was checked, I guess that's the difference of being even just slightly dilated and no dilation. Sigh. Even though it doesn't mean anything I was hoping to be dilated even just a little. I would really like to meet this little guy soon. In fact I have been feeling like this weekend would be a wonderful time for him to arrive, but of course if he is not ready, I really shouldn't rush him. I want to make sure he is healthy and strong when he is born. Mike's mom comes in tmw, that should distract me a little bit, I just hope these last few weeks don't go by slow. Just need to stop thinking about it.
After all the contractions I had last Sunday, Mike has been constantly asking me (jokingly) "Did your water break?" "Are you going into labor?" etc. etc. After today's appt. I told him he could stop that now. I'm pretty sure this baby will make it another week or two or three, but hopefully not any more than that.

36 weeks
I'm a little passed my actual 36 weeks, and I am getting so close to the end that I really need to update this more often, but most the time I just don't have the energy. Here is my most recent belly pic, at 36 weeks. I am going to try to do them weekly now, since I don't know which one will be my last.
There is not much to report. I am ready anytime this little guy decides he is ready, but he does need to wait until this weekend, since Mike's mom is coming in town on Thursday and I can't go into labor before that, since we really don't have anyone to watch JR for us. But once she is here I am all up his arrival. I don't mind being pg, or anything, I am just very anxious for the labor and delivery to be behind me and the adjustment of having a newborn to begin. I really can't wait to meet this little guy. I have been having contractions off and on, nothing consistent or regular though, so I have no idea if they are doing anything. I have a dr. appt this week and I will be just a day short of 37 weeks (which is full term), so I am hoping that my dr. checks me and I can at least know if my body is making any progress in the right direction, even if it really doesn't mean anything. Besides meeting this little guy, I am really excited to be able to sleep on my back or tummy again, or even just play with JR on the floor again. It won't be long now, I just hope that these last few weeks don't seem to take forever, as of now, this last trimester has flown by, but I know that can all quickly change.

34 weeks
Here is my 34 weeks belly pic. As you can probably tell from the picture, my clothes don't really fit me very well anymore.
Everything is going good. I am swelling a lot, but I expected that. I had a dr. appt today and my blood pressure was fine, so he is not concerned about the swelling. This little guy moves around a lot. I can tell he is running out of room, because I don't fill big flip movement like I used to, but he sure does like to stretch his legs out into my ribs. I love it though, even when it is painful at times. I can't believe how close I am to meeting this little guy. We have everything ready. The only thing I really need to do is pack my bag for the hospital and I could do that when I am in labor if I had to. We live about 2 minutes from the hospital, so it not like Mike couldn't run home and get anything that I didn't have with me. So whenever this little guy decides to make his arrival, we are ready. I hope he doesn't make us wait too long.
I might as well post this here too, we have decided on a name. I can't really be sure until I see him face to face, but as of now junebugs's name will probably be Andrew Jory. Jory is Mike's middle name. I like the name Andrew and I think A.J. is cute as well. So that is probably what it is. I haven't wanted to post it, because I didn't think we were both really set on it yet, but Mike assures me that I have already decided. I guess we will see for sure when we meet this little guy.
