This weekend I finished the nursery. I also cut tags (gasp) off of clothes and did a few loads of laundry. The drawers have been reorganized about 4 times, and now the closet is on it's way there. I also packed our hospital bag and wrote out a birth plan. Garen and I cleaned the house on Sunday.
On a sad note, my boss was in a ATV accident LAST weekend. She and her husband were riding up a steep hill when they hit an tree root. The 4-wheeler tipped backwards, she fell off, her husband fell on top of her, and the ATV fell on top of him. He had minor injuries (scrapes and bruises). She broke her right collar bone, her left upper arm (right below the shoulder) and the bone in the left shoulder in 3 places (basically crushed). She also broke a few ribs, 1 of which punctured her lung! She has been in the hospital for over a week and will not be back to work for at least 6 weeks! She has surgery this Wednesday to repair her arm/shoulder. They have had to wait so long because of her lung. Say a prayer for her if you get a chance.
I waited until today to post because I had my 37 week appointment today and I was hoping to report some progress. As of today I am 37 weeks 2 days pregnant. Even though I have been having cramps and pains, I have not dilated or effaced. However Lucas is at station -2, which means his head is VERY low. I could have told the doctor that! So no baby for a little while yet, but he has a few more weeks before he is due. In the meantime, Garen and I will start walking in the evenings, and I am going to try and get out in the plant a bit more over the next few weeks - and I'll be taking the stairs. It's time to walk this baby out!

Garen & Mel,
I know how anxious you both must be. I remember those days well. I am looking forward to seeing my new great-nephew.... the baby under your kin as Little Garen would have said. Remember if yall need anything we are very close here in Maryville.
love to all 3 of you
Johnny & Frances
That drawer is quite impressive. So organized. I'm not at all surprised, but it will be interesting to see if it stays that way! I can't wait to see Lucas in person and actually hold him. Thanks for sharing my story. All prayers are still needed.
