A little update

So Thanksgiving was wonderful! My whole family came here to Utah and I was so grateful not to have to travel to California! We just hung out, shopped, played games, ate, and watched movies! It was perfect! Brooklynn loved every minute of it and it was so nice to hear her call anyone else's name besides "Mommy". We were sad to see them leave but they will all be back in less than 4 weeks for baby girl's arrival!

I am trying to stay busy so that time will fly, while also trying to stay out of big crowds so B and I stay healthy, but it has been a little challenging as my energy level is pretty much non-existent these days. My mornings have been a little tough lately with feeling light-headed, nausea, weakness, and contractions! In fact yesterday I was on all fours rocking and trying hard to breath due to some crazy contractions! I'm at 35 weeks now (4 weeks away from my scheduled induction) and hoping to make it at least until after Christmas. Had a Dr.'s appointment today and I am 1.5 cm dilated and 50 % effaced. That made me feel like I wasn't crazy with feeling contractions lately...they have been real and making progress for baby girl's arrival. Her head is also down which was great news! I don't remember getting this anxious this soon with Brooklynn but I am very ready to have baby out of me! Poor Paul has to listen to my moans, aches, and complaints all day long! But very soon it will all be done and we will FINALLY be holding baby girl in our arms (still no name...sad I know). I cannot wait... In the mean time, I am so excited for the Christmas season! So many things to do and look forward to! I love this time of year!
