Almost 37 Weeks

Tyler and I went to the doctor today as well as picked up a few more of the remaining baby necessities. First at the apointment, Dr. Engelbrecht heard Price's heart and then she ventured to the great unknown to do the strep test and to see if I had dialated. It was a negative on the dialation, but we were glad to hear that my cervix was softening and Price's head was definitely down. Mind calming news for Nana Kate and Grandpa Price who are both going to be in Baltimore this weekend with Aubrey, Nick, and Ella. Unless something crazy happens, Elizabeth and Layton (my twin cousins born on July 3rd) will still be the only July 4th weekend birthdays in the family.

Secondly, we went to Babies R Us and got the mobile, another changing pad cover, and a pack-n-play matress fitted sheet. Then on to crazy Wal-Mart where the just-as-crazy greeter insisted on scanning EVERYTHING we thought might POSSIBLY be from Wal-Mart (two gift bags full). Then she proceeded to hand-write a description on EVERY sticker--and it took about 5 packages of "onesies" to convince her that "onesie" was actually a word. We also were able to learn how awful the world was becoming, largely due to the presidential race currently underway. In her words, "two horrible candidates". Good thing she may not be here for their whole term in office. To top it off, Ty was wearing his "Vote Obama" t-shirt. JK!! After 30 minutes of the sticker-happy greeter we finally returned about half of the items we came in with. Yeah store credit!!

Tonight we finished up the nursery and got Price's bag packed for the trip to the hospital. Ty and I started our suitcase packing as well, complete with maxi pads and breast pads, whoopie!! Ty packed deodorant and a toothbrush.

Attached are some pictures of the nursery and a few of Kara's weird belly while she sterilized the Avent baby bottles.
