Dr. Magic Fingers

We had a an appointment this morning and the doctor did a quick little procedure called sweeping/stripping the membrane. Apparently she is somewhat known for being very successful with this procedure, so Amber might be having our baby soon. Fingers are crossed. Here is a picture of us taken from what will soon be Penny's point of view.

38 weeks.

So, we have hit the 38 week mark and all is well. We spent a couple hours early this morning dealing with contractions and back pain, and I thought that my guess would be right. Nope.

We're still both in good spirits. Amber is tired of the back pain that wakes her up most nights, but for the most part she is a champ. Any day now...

Beauty

Here are a couple of pics of Amber I took whilst she was bathing. I was practicing with the new camera. They're a little dark, but still nice.

One year anniversary, and nursery pics.

Hey! So today is the one year anniversary of our marriage. Woo hoo! We went up to the MOMA in SF and reenacted our first date. It was a great day.

No baby tonight, so it looks like Bonnie and my Mom were guessed wrong. The next guess was for Tuesday the 6th, and it was made by me. Amber is quite finished being pregnant, so here's hoping...

Also, we finished with the nursery yesterday, so here are some new pics I took with our super sweet new camera.

37 weeks

So, today marks 37 weeks according to the Docs estimate. After staying up most of last with contraction like things Amber didn't go into work today. She's done. She was supposed to work all week but that isn't gonna happen. Everyone is happier for it.

Today we had a leisurely breakfast at the Beehive Cafe, I finished up probably the last of the Tonehammer work that I'll do before Penny is here, and we went shopping at Babies R Us to get the last of the stuff we wanted to have.

Today was a nice day.

She'll be here soon!

Getting ready.

I washed the last of the baby clothes that we've purchased up to this point. The lint in the dryer trap was entirely pink.

6 weeks left?

We have about six weeks left until the due date, and Amber and I are both very excited.

A few weeks ago we decided on the name Penelope, and much more recently we decided on the middle name Louise. Penelope Louise Smith. Penny Lou.

Not too much else to speak of yet. We are having the first baby shower on Saturday. That should be a lot of fun.

We have a nursery mostly set up. I think once we get that finished I will post some pics.
