Baby Appointment - 37 Weeks!

Wow! only 3 weeks left! The heart rate today was around 135... nothing like a consistent kid! I think that has been the heart rate every appointment for at least the past 5! Otherwise the head is in the pelvis, but when I asked her if the baby had dropped, she didn't really say, just that the head could go up and down still.. not very informative! The baby is laying with it's back on my right side, a position which tends to go posterior..meaning back labor like Caden's long labor :( The good news is that Cole was in this same position at this time, and he had a speedy labor and was not backwards... so really I think this means nothing! It was also the same midwife that told me Cole was most likely to go backwards, so I won't get worked up about it. She did say since the last labor was 3 hours start to finish I need to call as soon as I think I am in labor, and even if I'm not ready when I get there they probably won't send me home since the last time was so quick and it could progress rapidly at any time. That I will listen to because I really do not want to have a baby in the bathroom.. or on the side of the road!

Other than the baby appointment, household updates are that Caden is sick with the sniffles,and when he gets the sniffles his eyes water like crazy. He is the worst patient ever complaining about every last thing. If Cole looks at him he sets off in tears. Speaking of Cole, he has become hilarious, even more so than I already thought he was! He thinks everything is funny and is constantly cackling to himself! He also loves to try and scare you.. jumping out and yelling with his hands up. Quite comical! He is also into messes, the past two days he has taken every board game off of the shelf opened the box and dumped the contents. Caden just says "Mom.. he's doing it AGAIN!" He also has some massive temper tantrums where he kicks or throws every toy in site. If it is too heavy he gets even more mad and worked up. He sweeps everything off of the table, and if something he throws doesn't go far enough, he picks it up and chucks it again. While we shouldn't laugh, we do behind our hands because to watch him be so irrational really is quite funny! Although something we'd like to break the habit of quite quickly!
