37 Weeks and Doctor Update!!

I am now almost to the end of my 37th week. I will be 38 weeks on Saturday! It is amazing to me that 9 months ago we were finding out we were expecting and now here we are getting ready to bring this little one into this world. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. The best feeling in the world.

Anyway, here are my 37 week photos:






We went to see the doctor yesterday and had another non stress test. Of course Brayden showed himself as soon as the nurse hooked me up to the monitors. :) He went crazy. I think he knows something is there invading his space. Anyway, he passed it with flying colors. My blood pressure was 102/62 and I had not gained an ounce in the last week. This appointment was pretty short and sweet. She told me what time to be at the hospital and then approximately what time we will have a baby!! She told me that during the stress test I was showing that I was having a few contractions and she ask me if I was feeling them. I told her yes. Dr. Cave told me to just watch my contractions and it they get regular to come on in to the hospital or especially if my water breaks! That day I was having contractions on and off all day and after the appointment they continued. They have continued all day today as well. They are uncomfortable but no so painful that I cannot stand them. I am also having some back pain along with them. Needless to say I did not sleep very well last night because of them. We will see if we make it to November 3rd or if Brayden has other plans. Keep checking back for updates. I plan on blogging one more time before Brayden arrives to show one last picture of this belly! :) If it does not happen then the next time I blog we will get to share pictures of our precious little boy! Everyone please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers throughout the next few days and especially on the 3rd!

Love you all,
Nick, Amy and Brayden
