35 weeks and I’m feeling it!  I’m so close to the end I just need to hang in there a bit more.  The contractions are slowing down some but when I went to see my midwife on Friday she checked me and I’m 1 cm dilated.  In my mind it’s not a huge deal because with Asher I was 4 cm for 2 weeks.  I know though I need to really be paying attention to my body and be extra vigilant to take it easy.  I may be super excited to meet my little girl but I would really like her to stay put for a few more weeks.

Since it was such a nice day yesterday, I decided that Asher and I needed to go and scope out the Christmas trees so we knew what kind we wanted when we go this weekend.  I also figured it would be a great time to get some cute pictures of him in the tree lot.  Thankfully I was able to get a few good ones but it was tough.  Asher wants nothing to do with getting his photo taken when he is outside and seems to want to run in whatever direction I don’t want him to go.  Next time I’m going to take Ricke with me to help out :).

I’m so glad Asher has been getting a lot of use out of his tee-pee because I was really hoping he would like it.  It has to be one of his favorite places to be right now.  Besides playing in his tee-pee another thing he has been loving lately is eating his books!  The second picture shows him gnawing on one, I have found several other board books with decent sized chucks out of them! I guess I have to start keeping a closer eye on him while he’s reading :).

Thankfully the contractions have slowed down some, they are still there but not as bad as last week.  I have to say taking it easy is not that easy!  I find I have to force myself to not go around and pick up every little thing Asher gets out but instead just let it sit there, which drives me crazy.  Oh well, I would rather have some clutter around my house then have this baby to early.
