Very interesting... and completely un-helful!!! :) (I kid I kid)

Here, I thought this voting thing might give us some insight as to what we were having... Boy or Girl! But alas... it's almost 50/50.... how funny!

As of right now... 52% Boy and 48% Girl... So boy is winning... still can't wait to see what the stork brings us... we are getting so close to finding out!!! Only 19 more days... and then maybe another 14 on top of that (please no!!!)

Thanks for voting! 

The Redline Shop Contd.....

Tilting the final wall...

Our helpful boys...

Baby Belly Picture

The Baby Belly is finally in a picture! 37 weeks!

Matthew has been nesting too...

Matthew started to build a shop for all the Redline equipment and his machinery to be housed. I thought I would share some photos to make the blog a little bit more interesting! The shop is crazy ginormous... 2400 sq ft (our house is only 1800 sq ft.)

Even Thor has been chipping in... Like his puppy tool belt? He didn't!

Yummy Yum Iron!

Well I love having low iron levels... NOT! I have been taking so many iron supplements i think that i'm going to explode. But I know that it is important and therefore am downing my pills and liquid iron... hopefully this will help bring all levels up before d-day!

Feeling Fab... o wait... flabby

So.. at 36 weeks! Definitely not feeling FABULOUS... feeling pretty flabby, tired, emotional & contractiony. Yes that will be a new word.  Began some pretty "serious" contractions... i say that with serious sarcasm... Love Mr. Hicks! Here is a funny moment from today... We were eating pizza (no groceries.. oops) and Matthew was looking at me funny because i couldn't reach the pizza to my mouth... I then flipped out and hucked the pizza back in the box while cursing... then got up and started crying.. then felt embarrassed, then was really tired and wanted to sleep... then 10 mins later... I was totally normal. Wow.. gotta love those spontaneous pregnancy outbursts! It's even funnier because the whole time I was outside of myself wondering... who is this person??? And what the heck is going on???

Only one more week until the baby is 37 weeks and full term! That will be a relief to know that any contraction is now a good thing and that the baby will do fine outside the womb! We still are pinching ourselves and can't believe that in a month or so... we will be parents! Does that scare some of you...??? :) Hope not.. I just pray that God will give us the guidance needed to fill this new role and that he will bless us with the parenting skills specially designed for this little boy or girl! Wow... seriously at tops 41 days until d-day!

Ok ok... I may be jumping the gun a little...

Baby Pool

I thought this would be fun! I have done a couple of these and since I am getting the Birth Bag ready, have the babies room done... and feel like this baby could come any time after 37 weeks (but don't worry I'm not counting on it... could be a long time from now..) I wanted to start the Baby Pool. I will officially post it on Facebook... but anyone who doesn't have facebook can put their guess on this blog.  There will be a prize for the person who is closest... just to make things interesting! 

Here is some information that we know... The heart rate has been from 145 to 160 at various Midwife appointments. The baby is semi-engaged at this point and is turned towards the right in the proper position.  I craved sweets in the beginning of this pregnancy and corn throughout. I believe that both Matthew & I were late babies!

Guess away!!! Guess must include date, weight, sex and guesser's name!
