36 Weeks



I saw the doctor Friday for my 36 week check up. I am one centimeter dilated and he has dropped a little. This is the same as Leo was at 36 weeks, and five days later we had a baby. But, this is definitely a different pregnancy. I have been having cramping and contractions - not always together - for over a week now. They come and go but never get into a consistent pattern. I alternate between being frustrated and philosophical about it. One way or another, he will eventually make it into the world, I know! The wait just gets long sometimes.

We spent yesterday doing some small preparations - getting diapers, wipes, bottle supplies, and a new base for the carseat. Oh, and Toddly got his flu shot - Leo thought that was fun to watch!

It is raining here today, so we took a short walk to enjoy the wetness! Something we don't see very often these days.
