37 Week Appointment

Baby is measuring just under 7 pounds (an estimate) and I am measuring a week ahead. She did an exam and have thinned 70% with 1.5 cm dilation so lots of progress (last week only thinned 20%). I am guessing baby won't come this week, but undoubtedly will be soon. Still guessing a little early since I am measuring ahead. Probably next week sometime or the following. We'll see :0 )

FULL TERM!!!!! 37 Weeks! ~ ALSO 36 Week Picture~

Crib got here today and I am super excited. We are hoping to get it together tomorrow night. Yesterday I went down to Alvord to celebrate my mom getting ordained. STill was having contractions here and there, but nothing much of excitement in the baby department. Today I got home and finished off/mailed out some stuff for my business and then went for sushi with Kristin. Afterwards Jordon emt up with us and we went to the mall and then Barnes and Noble where I looked at some good books to prepare me for labor and weeks coming up after that. We went to eat at Spezia's afetrwards and my Braxton-Hicks started up again....... these endless contractions are getting kind of frustrating, but the tens unit and hip brace have in the very least been helping alot with low back pain, cramps, and contractions. Best news though for this post of course is that it is officially after midnight on July 27....which means baby is considered "Full-Term" as of TODAY!!! :0 ) Baby can come now and be expected to arrive perfectly healthy. That is a super good feeling. She'll be here any day now ...... or maybe a month from now haha.... bu Im hoping for sooner than later. Next Sunday or Monday would be perfect... you know..... not to be picky or anything haha, but Jordons in middle of 10 day working streak until Friday, Katie moves out Friday, and I have one last wedding I am hoping to be able to shoot Saturday for a friend (I do have a back up/second shooter though which is good). So ..... the clock is ticking pretty loud now..... We have my 37 week appointment tomorrow morning so we will see what our midwife says on labor progress signs....

Dear Nieva,

Your Gma and Gpa Boer bought a super cute kid's VW bug you can enjoy next summer. Gma also got you a bike with training wheels.... but I think you might be waiting awhile to get on that haha. Tomorrow we put your crib together and put some of the final touches on your nursery. Everyone is very excited to meet you very soon!! :0 )

Love, Mommy

New Car Seat and Cover

Braxton Hicks

Had Braxton Hicks contractions for a lot of the day today. Its super frustrating because I am trying to get editing done and it makes me all antsy and nervous. I had a lot of cramping with it which worried me, but I called and they assured me everything should be fine unless the contractions start getting closer together or are harder so we will see. haha. Talk about baby playing games with my head!! I have a feeling its going to be soon. Hopefully after next Saturday though because I have a wedding!! Eek haha. The air also had been out since last Saturday (Yah... the air goes out on the hottest day of the summer so we slept in the basement.....). FINALLY got fixed today!
