Prego update

I promised a tummy update a few weeks ago and I'm finally getting around to it.
So this is what I look like at nearly 37 weeks.

I just had an OB visit and it looks like this baby is coming early just like Stephen. I'm dilated 3.5 centimeters and 70% effaced. My OB seems to think this baby is coming in the next 7 days. I know that most women would be glad to have the baby come early, but we're moving this Saturday so I'm just a tad concerned. We just pray the baby stays in until at least Sunday. It would be nice if he stayed in there until a week from Sunday but based on the contractions I had today - that's probably not happening. The killer is that my due date is December 4th! But I've known since the day I found out I was pregnant that this baby would be born around Thanksgiving time so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Luckily, I finished crocheting the hooded baby afghan I started a couple of weeks ago as well as the edging on the last of the flannel blankets I made. Just in time . . .

Thank you both!
Devry we're only moving 3 blocks away so we're staying in our ward which is nice. We are determined to finish our house sometime before the second coming!

Pregnancy looks really good on you..and so does that pink sweater! Good luck with labor and delivery and all of that fun stuff that's been weighing on our minds. I hope you've been feeling well.

You look WAY to cute to be ready to deliver!!! Hope all has gone well with the move. I'm assuming you are moving...and not delivering today! Lots of hugs!

Love the pink sweater on you! And I have been thinking about you a ton! And keeping you in our prayers! I assume you moved today and no baby or we would have heard the news. Hope that little guy stays in there a bit longer so you can get semi-settled into your new place! Love you lots!!!

I hope you didn't lift a single box Julie! You have to take it easy. It sounds like that baby could be born any moment. I hope you can get some unpacking done. You are in our thoughts and prayers. And please post your new address sometime!
