Let us start off with the good. Adam and I had a great Labor Day weekend. He hiked Longs peak, a 14er, with our friend Phil, as well as Meeker, a Centennial peak. After limited sleep in the 4-runner they started hiking with headlamps at 3am. {adam- limited sleep is an understatement...the most amount of sleep I think I got was about 1.5 hours. Apparently someone snores, yeah, for only an hour straight....damn you Phil. Well, that is not really the amount you want to get before going on a 12+ hour hike. The "loft" route up to Meeker and Long's was a great idea that I have to give thanks to Phil for. It was an incredible sight to see the summit of Meeker and Long's in the "morning-glow" at 6am. This was three hours into our twelve hour trek. The day was perfect for hiking/climbing but we now can empathize with all of those folks who say the last part of the day is the 'death-march' back to your car. Funny how long seven miles takes after you've been climbing for seven hours already. Overall, it was a challenging but very rewarding day on the peaks}
The men hiked, while Shawna and I enjoyed much needed girl time together with the kids. Abigail is adorable and ever active. She will be on the hike with them in only a few years. Sunday and Monday we were able to get a whole lot done around the house. Adam got the lawn ready, we hung the canvases (FINALLY), got the baby's room ready and finished the black-out shades.
The bad, hanging curtain rods is never fun! A couple hours later we were able to hang the two rods. Let's just say, it is better when the instructions are actually right with sizes and recommendations. Also, this week I started getting a cold that I am getting over.
The ugly, and updates. We went to our 38 week appt on Tuesday morning. Yes, I have finally dilated 1cm and am still 50% effaced. Based on the slow moving baby, during our 39 week appt on Monday we will schedule an induction. The hospital we are delivering at, Sky Ridge Medical Facility, is very popular for delivering and we need to make sure we can get some time scheduled. I want to make sure I have a medicine ball for me to use during labor...depending on how they might induce.
This week we continue to get ready for the baby...and Saturday is my last marathon day. We have a shower with our neighbors, my sister-in-law's shower, car seat checks, and friends over for dinner. If that doesn't help me move along in dilation I don't know what will. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We continue to get excited when the baby is moving, which is usually 7-9pm guaranteed. Sweet P responds to Adam's voice which is so special. When asked, Sweet P still won't give us a clue on it's sex. We are about 50/50 on boy and girl. In about 10 days we will probably know. We will keep you posted.
