pregnancy update

I can't believe our little boy will be here so soon! I changed my blog ticker so each time I view it, it says how many days are left--24 as of today! I'm still reading through a couple of books and mentally gearing up for another birth. I'm feeling good, we are right on schedule with weekly check-ups now and checks (ahem). As of last visit, I'm already at the dilation and effacement I was with Maggie at 41 weeks, so this is GOOD news for someone who is going for a VBAC. Keep praying that we'll be able to have him in this manner. Our little man is still quite the mover and stretcher (Maggie was a kicker--would move sporadically and with quick kicks--while he is always stretching, stretching, stretching). It's been neat to tell a difference, though there is no difference in how I have carried both of them--low and out. It's funny how some people stop me and say, "Wow, you are big! When are you due? You must be having a boy because you are carrying so low." And I just have to smile and say that I carried my daughter the same way; thus, not all wives tales are true. :)

I'm sure you are all chomping at the bit to know his name...be patient! He's coming and at this point, I'll take him any time he chooses to show up.
