Today was my 35.5 week appointment and all is well, really well. In fact I am 1cm dilated and 70% effaced!! YEAH! It is still a little early to have this little guy but Midwife Julie said if he started coming at 36 weeks they wouldn't try to stop it but wouldn't try to help it along (ie: break water or encourage contractions) and then after 37 weeks he can do whatever he wants. I must say that even though it's a bit early I am relieved to know that the end is in sight :0) I am pretty uncomfortable and sleep isn't going great so come on out Baby Brother! Lincoln got to be in the office today to hear the heart beat and I think he's excited. I think he might actually understand a little bit. Still no name and yes we are working especially hard on it right now since he could come pretty darn soon. My mom, grandma and brother will be coming up the second week of August which is good because I have a feeling that he's going to evacuate around then. I just hope he waits until after our annual Cuzn's camp next week :0) Might be a little much for all the guys if little boy decided to make his big entrance at camp this year! I don't think he is in that big of a rush though. I got a few last minute things for this little critter today after the appt., a bath tub and some other little things. I really wasn't expecting to be dilated and effaced at all! Julie was surprised too! I am SO excited!! It really makes things seem a lot more realistic to know he's coming so soon. I have been cooking a whole bunch to prepare for company and baby and Amber came over Sunday and helped me get some things frozen. That was really nice. Lincoln just loves "Amby" and he really loves her chihuahua Lexus. He had fun! While we cooked this is what Lincoln did;
Yes my child has an affinity for raw flour, no salt, no sugar, just straight out of the bag flour and he eats it by the handfuls as you can see. Shortly after this he panicked. He got it shoved up his nose and couldn't hardly breathe because it was making snot dough in his nostrils. Oi Vei! I think I let it get a little out of hand this time :0) He loves it though! So thats that, this blog will shortly transform into a family of four blog and I can't wait to try out all the little photography ideas I have stored up for my two little critters... its going to be FUN!

Snot dough!!! ha ha ha ha that cracked me up! What a funny kid--I've never known a child to eat flour straight out of the bag! He is too precious! I'm so happy you're getting to the end of this pregnancy--hopefully baby #2 wiggles on out soon so I can see some fancy photography of him! Newborn pictures are so cool, and you take amazing pictures! :o) good luck!
can't wait to hear the news of your new little one! I will be praying for all of you.
Ash... have been thinking about you and that little man growing in your belly!!!! I hope that it all goes smooth and i cannot wait to see pictures of him! You are in my prayers and hope the next few weeks are easy for you! love, Rockit!
Ha ha...that Lincoln is a crack-up!
And I'm so excited for your family. The end is in sight! Can't wait to meet you, baby boy!
