It's getting close

Went to the doctor today and Lisa is dilated between at 1 and a 2. At first she said "you're at a 2" and then said "well maybe between a 1 and a 2". So, we will go for that in case we don't do much more next week it will feel like more. Also, 40-50% thinned and "he's right there" which means he is head down and has moved down to where he needs to be to come out. So, we are soooooooooo very excited. Still know we have some time left, but he is doing everything that he needs to do to get ready to enter the world and all on his own. We go back next Thursday in the am, so should have another post later that day. Lisa is still doing well. There are times and days that she is feeling uncomfortable and in some pain, but we know that is because he is moving down and moving everything out of the way. She's really hoping to make it to work through at least next week, but after that she says she ready for labor. Keep us still in your thoughts and we will let you all know what's up as soon as we do.

25 days to go till due date

Sorry we haven't put any updates on lately. We have been quite busy and as of Saturday are 36 weeks and 3 days, which gives us 25 days until the due date. We have completed all 3 prepared child birth classes and breast feeding class, so we feel educated in what to expect. Alex turned downward two weeks ago so we know he is headed in the right direction. At the doctor's on Friday he said that they will treat Lisa as though she is full-term so if Alex is ready to come and starts the process they won't do anything to stop it. On the one hand, Lisa is ready for Alex to come and to be done being pregnant, but still feels like there is lots for her to do at work before that happens. So, she is feeling conflicted. For the most part she is still feeling good, though she is having some discomfort as her body continues to prepare for the big day and Alex continues to get bigger. We are now at the weekly doctor appt. point so we will see the doctor again on Thursday and get the first exam to see if things are progressing. We will definitely let everyone know as soon as Lisa starts dilating. We want to thank everyone that came to the shower for their generosity and support. Also, thank you for joining us in celebrating!!!!!
