- Jordan finished up at the U! He's still working on finishing his dissertation and a few things on some papers but I'm so proud of him. A PhD is a big deal.
- The job search began at the beginning of the year. There were two major offers on the table (Siemens in Germany and Amazon in Seattle). In the end, Amazon won.
- Noah and I went on a vacation to California with my family is March. Because J was finishing up with school he couldn't go. While we were there, J got the offer from Amazon.
- May 1st is the day we found out we were expecting NUMBER TWO! Its also the day J left for Australia for two weeks for his last conference.
- As you can tell, May was a crazy month for us... in two weeks we: took a trip to Seattle to look for a place to live, J defended his thesis and walked for Graduation, and we got packed up ready to move to another state.
- June 1st we made our big move.
- August we found out baby number two is a boy! We're so excited to have another little guy running around.
- June through August we had J's parents visit and bring Buster home, my parents came to visit, and my sister and her husband came to visit. Lot of visitors!
- August we got rid of the PT Cruiser and bought a brand new Sonata.
- October Noah and I took a trip to Utah for Halloween.
- We had a fantastic Thanksgiving and Christmas with just us and some friends. The holidays were so fun this year.
I am currently 40.1 weeks pregnant. My whole pregnancy I said I was going to go over my due date but I didn't actually think I would... ha! I was wrong. I guess my babies just like me too much and want to stay inside as long as possible. I also thought I'd go early with Noah (as most first time moms think/hope) but he was 6 days overdue as well. So now we're just waiting for Saturday to come so I can be induced again... though I'm still praying this little guy will come before then. 2 days to go... 2 days.
How far along: 40 weeks...
Total weight gain: 26.5 lbs
Maternity clothes? Most of them don't fit over my belly anymore and my jeans are too uncomfortable... lets hope he decides to come a the next few days... .
Stretch marks: I swear I get more every day.
Sleep: Lately... okay. I wake up around 3 am most night and either don't get back to sleep at all or it takes an hour or so. I have a big trigger point in my left glute and that starts to hurt real bad after a few hours.
Best moment this week: I'm not sure there has been a 'best moment'. Its been good though, all things considered.
Movement: For sure. But he's slowed down a bit in the last few days. Hopefully he's getting ready for birth real soon.
Cravings?: None this week. I've kind of lost my appetite.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not eating makes me sick and shaky and dizzy.
Labor Signs: LOTS of contractions. I was checked on Monday and I'm 3.5 cm and 80% effaced. I had my membranes stripped for the second time and that was flowed by lots of cramping and I've had so much more pressure in my pelvis. Also, baby is at a -1 station so he has dropped from five days ago when my membranes were last stripped.... but ouch... this time it was much more painful.
Missing anything?: my baby.
Symptoms: Uhm... I'm not sure I need to explain my symptoms at this point.
Belly Button in or out? See picture below :-)
Wedding ring on or off? currently on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: so happy and anxious and excited and nervous... and a little sad that Noah won't be an only child for too much longer. Even though he's a super busy two year old I'm trying to get in all the cuddles I can these last few days.
Looking forward to: Baby! If he doesn't come before, Saturday at 8 am is the big day. Can't wait.
