Ready...and waiting

Well, I have to hang a newly purchased and painted bathroom shelf and then we have finished my "to do" list of projects I wanted to finish before baby Riley comes. Our book shelves in our room are clear of clutter, the furniture is dusted among other cleaning chores, Riley's ribbon holder is made, receiving blankets are sewn and placed in the newly organized changing table cabinet, baby clothes are organized, etc.
Of course the dishes are a never-ending pursuit, but Clinton and Candace are super troopers helping with that venture :) Now, we're just waiting.
I've had weekly appointments for the past 3 weeks and have shown progress with the beginning stages of labor. As of Tuesday morning (38 weeks), I was dialated to a 2.5 and 70% effaced. We're not running to the hospital (although maybe that would help get things moving faster :), but we are excitedly and anxiously waiting. And, hoping for our 8 lb 7 oz (estimated by sonogram measurements) baby Riley to make her appearance soon.

  1. That's exactly how much our new baby weighed. Crazy.

  2. I was shocked to see the baby countdown only has 13 days left. I didn't realize it was so close! I look forward to hearing the news of Riley's arrival in the near future.

  3. Hey! It sounds like baby Riley is getting ready to make her (hopefully very soon) appearance! Good luck with the waiting...it seems like these last few weeks take the absolute longest to get through. But, hey, if you want something to do to kill some time, here's our blog: twohotrods.blogspot.com. Can't wait to hear about the upcoming good news!
