37 Weeks

On Monday night, Travis told me "Happy full term day!" (the cutie!); and it is SUCH a relief to be full term, and know that no matter when our baby girl decides to show up, she's fully developed and should be OK. :)
On Tuesday night, some sweet girls from my ward threw me a baby shower.
Here I am before the shower:


I had SUCH a good time at it and received such thoughtful gifts for baby Bethany (and even some pampering things for me :) ).
The sweet gifts Bethany and I received:


A close-up of some of the home made gifts (a receiving blanket with matching burp cloths, a rag quilt, a crocheted hat, and a diaper bag; SO cute, right?!):

We really have such a GREAT group of friends out here, and it's so nice to have them as a pseudo family while we're so far away from home.

On Thursday, we went to my Dr. appt and learned that: I am 2 cm dialated, 80% effaced, that the baby's head is still down and "right there" (which my hips and pelvis can attest to), and that the Dr. predicts I'll have baby Bethany a week early. It's so surreal to have "progressed" and know that Bethany could really come any time. I'm so grateful that my mom decided to change her flight to 2 weeks earlier so she can watch Grace for us during Bethany's early arrival!

We are anxious, but VERY excited to meet and snuggle our little Bethany Adelle!!
