T-Minus 2 Days to 37 Weeks

And we're doing everything we can to keep this little guy cooking!

He's making quite the fuss these days. Here's a brief update:

- We're experiencing some pretty strong contractions throughout the day. Fortunately, rest seems to keep them at bay so I've been resting up a storm.
- As of last night and all day today, I'm now experiencing consistent lower back pain. When this happened with Babes, I went into labor two days later.
- I can't figure out if walking is uncomfortable or just difficult. Either way, I'm not doing much of it these days.
- The pressure is downright painful when I move around - just another reason why I'm laying down most of the time.
- As of last week, I began dilation and effacing. My next appointment is on Thursday, so we'll know about any more progress soon.
- I still have baby clothes sprawled all over the floor of the new nursery, but Husby has the room on lockdown until Thursday.

Husby keeps begging Baby H.I.T. to stay in until tomorrow afternoon - he has a big meeting tomorrow morning that he kinda needs to be at. I keep telling him to stop jinxing himself by asking Baby H.I.T. for favors.

We've alerted the tree that it looks like labor is coming soon in hopes that it would stop things (like when the minute you bring your car in to get fixed, the problem goes away), and we've had no such luck today. Maybe this post will help slow things down a little...

Until then, we'll keep you guys posted! Wish us well :)
