Brian celebrated his 39th birthday on Monday! :o)
He was on call last night (12/16) and stayed overnight at the hospital since we had gotten about 5 inches of snow here. It was good that he stayed because he only got to sleep for 3 hours in between admissions.
Had my 37 week appointment today. I am dilated to 2 and 50% effaced already. That was good news to me! All of these Braxton Hicks are getting something done! The little one was also in the correct position today so no need for an ultrasound or to have him 'moved' in my tummy.
Next appt is Christmas Eve! :o)
We are awaiting another big ice/snow storm here starting Thursday afternoon sometime. We will see how that turns out! Christmas Break starts Friday after school for the kids. It will be nice to slow down (and have a baby!).

Christmas...No I mean Birthday lights
I forgot to mention in my last post that little Carly is truly fascinated by this season of lights! She is convinced that all of our kind neighbors and businesses are putting lights up for her birthday! It is quite comical to drive around with her and watch her get VERY excited to see all of her 'Birfday lights!'
Here are some recent snow pics! Check out the one with the pregnant mom snow person! My kids are so clever!
Life Update...
We celebrated Thanksgiving on a couple of different days. On turkey day we went to our friends (Dave and Jacinda's) in Hudson, IA. It was a nice evening. The kids all played together and we got a little bit of adult conversation in (they have 5 kids too!).
On Saturday (Nov 29) my mom and Brian's family all came to our house. It was a busy day! It was great to see everyone and all of the cousins got to play together.
Brian has been busy delivering babies! He has really enjoyed this rotation. It has been more of a struggle for me though as he gets calls at all hours of the night (and day) and truly I want to be the one who gets a turn at this delivery thing! :o)
My last doctor appt was Dec 3rd. Things were fine. He is still doing full flips in my stomach and for the most part he lays across my stomach. That works for me right now because I am not getting kicked in the ribs and I can breathe! My next appt is Dec 17th (at 37 weeks) and I will get checked (for dilation) and they may have to do an ultrasound to see if he is getting into the correct position.
It amazes me how people will walk up to me and tell me that I am huge (do they NOT think that I am already aware of that!). I have gained 30 pounds with this little one which is very typical for me. I tend to gain the weight in the middle months and then not gain much at the end.
I have not hit the 'I cannot stand to be pregnant for one more minute' wall yet. Even with my back aches and large stomach I have been able to keep it all in perspective much easier than when I was pregnant with Carly.
We have not decided on a name yet. This seems to be driving some people crazy! Keep sending the name ideas. Maybe something will strike us as being 'the' name! :o)
