Finally Full Term!

I thought this day would never come.....and yet it will probably be the longest 3 weeks of my life!  Seamus is officially full term so he can technically come any time now....but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.  My doctors don't think I'll make it to my due date, but you never know.  Thursday's appointment updates: he is fully engaged (dropped into the pelvis), 70% effaced (thinned), but still 0 dilation...so who knows....except maybe Seamus.  I want him to stay in there and take as long as he needs....but at this point I think I'm more ready for him to come than him taking his time!  This last month is not the most comfortable and more than that I'm just ready to meet him!!

Shower weekend with family and friends.

We had a wonderful weekend back in Cleveland County.  I am very thankful to my wonderful family for taking time to put together baby showers for me. I was blessed with two showers, a Steele shower and a McRorie shower.  Seamus is ready to go now...or should I say we are now ready for Seamus to come!  Below are some pictures from the festivities.....

Seamus' two cousins: Brooks and Desmond.  Only about 3 months older than Seamus will be.

Our wonderful nieces coloring while waiting for the shower to wrap up.

Clearly the drive from Raleigh to Lawndale wore Seth and Jae out.

Apparently I look much bigger than I really am to most.....

I don't care what anyone says....boys clothes are adorable!!!

Showers are a Go!

Went to my OB Thursday after noticing a lot of tightening the past day.....more than 6/hour.  They put me on the monitor and I was having contractions....but luckily not dilated at all.  So they told me to drink more water than humanly possible and come back this morning to go back on monitors and then they would decide if they wanted me traveling over 3 hours away.  Went back...still having contractions...now more cramping with them...but there is no pattern to them and still not dilated at all so they said I won't go into labor the next two days so go ahead.  I was going to be pretty bummed if I had to call my family and say we couldn't go this weekend.  I have a checklist for preterm labor and when I need to call...but they think I should make it to full term, which is in two weeks, but probably not to my due date!  Never a dull moment with Seamus already!!  Hope to post some shower pics after this weekend!
