This is what I turned around to after finishing the last blog post.

I guess we are safe until Playgirl Toddler gets wind of him!

Hollan Update - 36 1/2 Weeks

This week I am almost 2cm dilated and actually measuring at 35 1/2 weeks which means that Hollan has moved lower into my pelvis. I will definitely agree with that assessment! Movement is getting difficult and as Brian will confirm, getting off the couch or out of bed requires a lot of grunting on my part. What can I say, it helps.

My doctor said she "had a feeling" that Hollan would come on her own before the 16th but I think she may just be trying to keep me positive! If she does want to come early, I am hoping she will come on the 9th, which is my grandfather's 90th birthday, how cool would that be? Her birthday would be 08.09.10.

Here are some pics of Evan trying out our new double stroller, ooh la la. It is actually cooler and overcast here today so we may get to take it on a test run outside. Thanks to Babee & Baba for helping out!

Weekend Pics

This weekend was MUCH more enjoyable than last, thank goodness.

Enjoying the "cooler" weather and the shade on Friday. There was some hula hooping and some tricycle riding.

Hummus face.
At least he eats his carrots!!
Evan did actually hug my belly yesterday and say he was hugging baby Hollan but we didn't catch that one on film. This picture we had to bribe him with chocolate chips.

Evan Vs. The Apple

Evan discovered the cache of apples in the pantry and decided that sliced and skinned apples are for wimps.

"Oh wow, there is a whole other side over here"

"Mmm, juicy!"

Hollan Update

We're at 35 1/2 weeks! I am currently 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, which gives no real indication on when Hollan will arrive but the doctor is pleased with my progress so that is good news. I have started having some mild contractions which is new to me since Evan never did much of anything in there until they made him! Either way, we are planning to go in to be induced the week of August 16th unless she comes on her own before then.

Other good news is that I lost 2 lbs from last week due to the lovely stomach bug that Brian and I had this weekend. Nature's Best Diet!

Here are some pictures of Hollan's decals in her room and bath. Thanks to Daddy & JJo for all their hard work in putting them up.

I'm not a huge fan of the color (I was expecting more Mocha and less Camel) but I love the design!
Stay tuned!
