30 days...

We had our 36 week doctor's appt. this am. All is good! I am still having inconsistent contractions fairly often, but feeling pretty good otherwise. I am officially 36 weeks on Thursday and after that we have the go ahead for delivery if my contractions get strong and consistent again. It is soooo weird to think that our little Owen could truly be here anyday. Because I will be past the 36 week mark this week my dr. removed the bed rest limitation. Praise God! I just have to take it easy and use common sense to not overdue it too much. He thinks that Owen will "probably" come earlier than our May 27th due date. We will see.
After our doc appt. we went and took care of some more things on our baby registry and got our bags mostly packed and ready to go! The events over the weekend really gave us a practice run and helped us to get ready for what is eminent! I have one last baby shower with my work friends on Thursday night, I can't wait! I miss all my work girls soooo much!
Here are some pictures from our visit to Kfalls of the girls scanning (ultrasound) my mom, dad, and Walter for practice. Lori will be back in Central Oregon in just over a month to start her extern at St. Charles where I work. We will literally be across the hall from each other, sooooo cool. Can't wait!

Oh man! It's getting so exciting.. I am guessing May 12th for Owen to arrive! Thank you for sharing, Karen, I can't imagine how hard it is for you to not be working but being a mom is pretty awesome too!

"good post!" ;)
and don't forget to let us know if there is anything we can do AT ALL. I know W has covered what you don't/can't for the moment, but we want to be of service to both of you. :)
love you much.
