37 weeks!

                       Baby Boy '13                                                         Aiden Jeffrey

2 cm and 90% effaced!  Dr. Lyons said she actually could feel the membranes in his little head!  WHAA!?!?!  Lots of intense contractions, but nothing that is staying regular.  He dropped Wednesday so I am feeling pretty good actually (besides having to pee every 20 seconds).  Nothin like waiting until the last couple weeks to start feeling good!!  But hey, Ill take it!

Aiden and I went to Target a couple days ago and bought newborn diapers and a few more "baby" things.  When I took the diapers out of the box I couldnt believe how small they were!!!  Aiden even thought they were cute ("Oh how precious!").

I found an adorable little onsie that says "baby brother".  I can't wait for him to wear it :)

August is all about having fun!

Mud Run at Bloomsbury Farm!

Daddy did the run.. mommy and Aiden watched and played.  

 Aiden's reaction when daddy ran into the corn maze.. "I want my daddy back!"  Saddest thing ever.

 Well he got his daddy back.. but he was still ticked off...

Kids Day at Kinnick

 We visited Aunt Ash at the U and she showed us the construction on the new Children's Hospital, super cool!  Aiden loved it!

 We had lots of fun!  He got to see Herky, watch the Hawks play, and do lots of people watching :)

Day at Pam's

Aiden started at Pam's this month when mommy went back to school.  This was one of the first few days.. he had a very smiley day so he got a smiley face on his finger :)  Very proud, as you can see!  

The Beach

 He got his very own fishing pole!

 He loved digging a "canal" with daddy!  We went to the beach several times at the end of August, beginning of Sept. after the pools closed down.  Aiden LOVED it!!

Lovin on Hurley

hahahhahahahahahhaha

 Look at that cute hat :)

How he likes to read and watch videos of "Singin in the Rain"....

These are totally different days.  Apparently he prefers the nude.  Awesome.

How he likes to watch hockey....

Boy oh Boy did we have a great August!  So much fun.. but how can you not have fun with a little guy like Aiden?!?  :)

August Events: TRUCKS!

Touch-a-Truck Event in Hiawatha: Aiden got to see lots of neat trucks, play on the playground, and even experience a band playing... as you can see below he enjoyed the music :)

Springville Parade: We got to watch the parade FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!  You can imagine his excitement! 

Hawkeye Downs Truck Event: Wow, this was amazing!!  Aiden got to see a crazy amount of trucks, tractors, motorcycles, and even a helicopter take off!!  Even mommy was quite impressed! :)

 This is how he wanted to watch the dirt bikes.. go figure

 He was saying to Jeff, "Dad, look at that 4-wheeler over there, you should go drive that one."  Not even kidding.

We even got to watch some big trucks a couple houses down!  They redid their driveway and we spent a good amount of time over the course of this day watching them!

36 weeks

Hello last month!

At 36 weeks baby's heartrate is 135 bpm and sounds great!  Mommy is dilated 1 cm and 90% effaced, whoo hoo!!  Dr. Lyons gave us her word we wouldn't go over the due date so at 39 weeks we will set a date, which makes this girl very happy!!  I am getting VERY VERY anxious to get this baby boy here.  The nursery is getting there and I actually got out a suitcase to start packing up for the hospital! Nesting is in full force. :)

Let the countdown begin!
