Labor Night

By -
It's almost 6 am, and we're still at the house. We all fell "asleep" at about 1 am. Somehow Nat and Mrs. Trisha made it upstairs. I woke up on the couch in the basement at 4:30 am and went upstairs and snoozed in the glider in the baby's room until 5:30 am. I don't know how well Nat is sleeping, earlier she wasn't having much luck. I'm still very hopeful that Sarah Graves will be born today, but we'll have to assess the situation once Nat wakes up.

One of the things that she cautioned us about is that even though family and friends are well meaning and excited to meet the new baby, the constant focus on whether labor has begu...

Check-Up

We had another check-up today and all looks good.  We met with Margaret and really liked her a lot.  For me everything looks good.  Blodd pressure is right on, weight looks good, and the measurements show good growth.  Baby girl had a good heartbeat and is now positioned with her head down and anterior.  She hasn't dropped yet, but her head is getting low.  Margaret expects that she will drop about 2 weeks before delivery.  I can't believe how close it is getting!  I am getting so excited to meet her!

While Sarah Graves was off on choir tour, we had some time with Charlie.  Play date with Ziggy. Always fun cooking up something, kicking a ball around, and inventing their own drink flavors! We spent a weekend at the lakel Then, it was time for Charlie to head off to Boy Scout camp! Sis came back from choir tour and got to work a journey for Seniors, a requirement before starting on the gold award.  Alexis was passing through Atlanta and we had a couple of great dinners! It was fun for her to see Sarah Graves too!
