38 weeks

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little Nathaniel. We had a Dr. appointment on Friday and then said he is in position (just not "engaged" yet). She felt his head but it still had wiggle room. It sounds like the cervix is starting to soften and dialate, so ready or not... he's a coming. His heartbeat sounded really good too. It's really too bad we don't get another ultrasound, we really got used to seeing him every visit in Israel. He's still stretching and moving quite a bit and I'm getting bigger and bigger.

We've been working more on getting his room ready. Ken's sister Norine was really helpful in getting me to commit to a color theme (reds/blues/baseball) and yesterday Bethany (another sis-in-law, Steven's wife) assisted with pulling it together and starting to paint. We are making progress now. Our upstairs is completely turned up-side-down but it should be back together soon. I'm missing my other sis-in-law Amy (Micah's wife) and know she would love to be here if she could. She's been so excited and supportive even when she is so far away.

I'm trying to determine if Nathaniel will be more like dad or mom in terms of timeliness... Ken's "on time" is always 10 minutes early, mine is always 5-10 minutes late. I guess we will know soon enough :-)
