Week 40

Week 40 is here and baby watch 2013 continues. I am feeling pretty good. The past few weeks have been amazing being able to turn the house inside out and putting things where they belong and taken the trash out. Of course, now I can find nothing. 

We have had a lot of rain and very little sun lately. A few ruts were made so Dan tried to drive the Excursion to run them flat. That failed. So he got his boots on to smash 'em by foot. He said he looked like a zoo keeper. And he is correct. 


I had to get a few more pg photos in while I still could.


Week 40. Bursting at the seams.


Our bathroom is coming together!! So very excited. 


Contractors are done! Dan has taken on the tasks of floating the walls and texturing. Electrical. Putting up the shower fixtures. And eventually painting the walls. I am thinking a brown gray or a light blue or green. I should probably go with brown/gray to warm up the white environment I always wanted.


Dan spent all day Saturday and Sunday setting up the electrical; swapping out switches, adding lights in the shower and above the vanities, moving stuff here and there. He was in and out of the attic while I took a nap for hours. It was awesome. 

At one point he needed me to come answer a design question and this is what I saw. I texted his mom the picture and she asked if I had taken his stairs away lol so perfect! 


We went to the doctor and there is very little to report. No progress has been made but I have been uncomfortable the past few days so that's a good sign. And my cleaning has really stepped up a few notches.  I hear that's a sign as well. Yesterday I vacuumed fan blades. That's serious. 

The doctor has suggested inducing this week to try and jump start this thing. We have been against it but after talking with the doctor we have scheduled time at the hospital to just do it. The day after Christmas will be ten days after the due date and that tends to be a time period where the baby's health can degrade and we don't want that. So we are considering inducing to get things rolling in hopes that if inducing this week doesn't work then it may have the ability to encourage labor in the days following.

Hopefully my next post will be a picture of a baby Dan Wam. Until then, Merry Christmas! Be safe! Hope to see you all over the next few weeks!!
