38 Weeks

Well, what an interesting and busy week we've had here at the Boggs house. Sunday Luke and Jill came to visit before they headed off to Wheaton. Then on Monday I had an appointment with my midwife and it sounds as if things are moving right along. I was a little bit dilated, but nothing to get excited about. My midwife is very happy with my progress though. She reminded me that just because I'm a little dilated now doesn't mean that things are going to happen quickly. Then Monday night I had dinner with Emily and Kelsey. I miss those girls. =) Brad also spent the night on Monday (I told you it was a busy week). Tuesday my parents came up for their birthday dinners and then they spent the night. Jon and I had fun taking them to the Key Wester which is a Key West themed restaurant out here. They didn't get to go to Florida this year because they didn't want to be too far away in case Limer decided to arrive, so we did what we could to give them a little taste of Florida. After Tuesday we didn't have any more visitors, but were still plenty busy.
I finally got my bag packed, except for those last minute items. It's sitting on the floor in the living room ready to go whenever it's needed. =) It's so crazy to think that Little Limer could be here soon. I also finished buying all the last minute things that we need for his arrival (at least I think I got it all). I also spent the week at work getting everything organized in all of my files so that I could hand them off to the other coordinators. It felt really good to get all of that done and be at a point where someone could easily take care of the few things that I have left if I go into labor and don't come in the next day. Now, I'll spend my time at work helping everyone else with their work. =)
Besides that, I've been having some contractions on and off throughout the week. Friday night I had at least an hour and a half of consistent contractions about 6 minutes apart. They definitely didn't hurt, but were a little uncomfortable. I was able to go to sleep though and I slept through the night except for the occasional waking to go to the bathroom. So no real outward progress, he's still in there. The contractions continue, but not consistent although they do seem to be getting stronger. We'll see on Monday at my appointment if there's been any progress. I'm wondering when the little guy will make his debut. Jon and I are getting anxious to meet him!
