On Sunday I officially hit 36 weeks or full term! I remember when I made this milestone with Grayson how relieved I felt knowing that he could safely come at any point and have a greater chance of being healthy when he arrived. After so many years of thinking we would not be able to start a family, it's sometimes hard for me to imagine we are about to welcome another little boy into our lives. I feel blessed everyday for what God has given me over the years!
I went to the doctor yesterday for my weekly check up and it doesn't look like Beckett will be coming too early. I'm not dilated at all so the waiting game continues. On Monday I began having some bad cramps and more intense braxton hicks contractions so I came into work for a couple of hours, went home to lie down and work in bed, then back to work for a park board meeting that night. Things were better yesterday so I guess I just need to be prepared for some good, and some bad, days over the next few weeks.
Unfortunately I have no new photos of Grayson to share. This past weekend he did attend his first birthday party for a boy in his class at school. We always see them playing together on the cameras so it was nice of his family to invite Grayson to their home. I think he had a great time playing with some of the other kids that were there. His favorite part was most likely the truck full of goldfish they left on the table for the kids to devour. Our chunky monkey probably ate 3/4 of it. Not to mention all of the grapes out of the fruit salad.
Like I said, we continue to wait. My hospital bag is packed just in case, but I have a feeling we should be well into October before we get to meet Beckett. That's ok for this momma because it gives me more time to clean the house and get prepared to add yet another man to my life! :)
