Counting Down The Days

WOW, BIG-O-BELLY! I was just 37 weeks here!!!

We got a pretty good McGary Family picture the last day at the cabin.

We have been so busy with the holidays that I haven't had time to post lately. Here's the update on what's been going on:

I went to the doctor at 36 weeks and was surprised to hear that I was dilated 1cm and 50%. I was really swollen that day at the hospital and hadn't ever realized it because I've just been so busy with work. I had realized that my work shoes were a little hard to get on in that week, but I was always in such a hurry to get ready that I didn't pay much attention. Going back to the dr around 37 weeks I was around 2cm and 70%. I was planning on going to Portland right after that appt and then 2 days later going to the cabin in Priest Lake Idaho with the McGarys. The dr wasn't a fan of all that traveling, so Brock went to Portland and bought us a Tahoe (which I am absolutely LOVING!!). We are loving our new vehicle and all the room. I have been driving the honda civic for a while now with no dash lights, terrible rattling noises, very little space, and it was really starting to get uncomfortable for me to get into since it's so low (Brock always had a hard time just because he's so tall). Our Christmas this year was the new car and we are really enjoying it daily! The cabin was really fun and relaxing. We came home a couple days before Christmas and really enjoyed our time off. I quit working before we left to the cabin, which was really nice because I have REALLY started to feel extremely pregnant and very comfortable. I went back to the dr for my 38 week check and nothing had changed. Every dr I've seen for the last 2 weeks has told me to prepare for it to be any day. I really didn't want him to come close to the holidays so he can actually have a birthday, so I'm hoping to hold off at least until the 5th of January, watch I'll end up going over! I sure hope not!!!! Brock starts back up with school on Monday the 4th and isn't too excited but I'm glad he's still trucking along. We still have plans of heading to La Grande OR the end of March for just 1 quarter. We're actually pretty excited for the move, even though it brings a lot more work, packing, finding a place for just 3 months, and doing it all with a baby.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday Season and has a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! WOW, 2010!!!
