Getting close

Well I am 34 weeks.  Will be 35 weeks on Thursday.  I get the feeling baby Joshua may be here in a few weeks.  I went past the due date with the 1st two, but I have been having some contractions and some other prelabor signs.  Of course it could all mean nothing and I could easily go past my due date, but I am just getting the feeling that this one will arriving before the due date.  It is so hard to decipher real contractions vs. false contractions.  I am just feeling uneasy as if my body is getting ready.  I really need to get the carseat installed, get my hospital bag ready, etc...  I am feeling the overwhelming desire to keep the house picked up at all times which is unusual for me.  I wouldn't say I am "nesting" but I am needing some order to the house at all times.  I think that is definitely a sign that labor is near :)  I will keep you updated.

The trip to Del Rio went very well.  It was great visiting with family and Matthew and Luke did well.  Matthew did start to get home sick the last few days which can be expected, but overall we all had a good time.   Oma (my 94 year old grandmother) is doing great.  She looks great and is getting around wonderfully.  She is a beautiful lady. 

Can't think of much else at the moment. 

Blessings,

Matthew and Luke with Grandma and Grandpa Carroll
