Ready, Set, Go!

Okay, I am totally ready (temporally that is) for Evan to come! Any day now, baby, and you can come. Here are pictures of his room!

Crib with his name over it. You can see the sheets that my mom made for Evan a little bit better in this picture.
Here is Evan's fancy dresser. We really didn't see the point in spending so much money when this works fine. It's a little ghetto, but hey, that's how we roll.

Ah, our changing area! This is Rick's computer desk that he made in woodshop in high school. We changed it into a changing area for the baby because we don't have any computers that we use on that desk because we have a built in "tech center" in our apartment.
This kid is so spoiled that he has his own bathroom! (That he'll share with guests of course)

I went to the doctor on Monday! I am now in my 37th week of pregnancy, so I am off bed rest, and the doctors said that if labor started, they wouldn't do anything to stop it. I had a little scare though. My blood pressure went up a little bit from last week, and my doctor thought I looked a little more swollen/ puffy than the last time she saw me. So, she had me get blood taken to see if I may have preeclampsia, which if I do at this stage of my pregnancy, I am pretty sure they're just going to be putting me in the hospital and inducing the labor. She also said I am measuring HUGE and she ordered an ultrasound two weeks away to measure the size of the baby. Really, I kind of think I am measuring huge because maybe I have a small torso. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to follow up on the preeclampsia thing. Hopefully, all will be well.

I am so ready for Evan, and I am just getting excited to meet him now! I am 2 cm dilated still, which my doctor said that some women can stay dilated that long for about a month or so. But, I've also been having contractions, not consistent or heavy at all, just enough to make me feel uncomfortable. We'll see what excitement this next week brings for us!
