Starting to Dialate

I went to the doctor today and here is all the scoop I got... Looks like Cullan will be here before his due date. I am a Fingertip dialated, starting to thin and he is sitting very low. The doctor said it will probably be by 38/39 weeks, but if he isnt here at 39 then they may go ahead and enduce labor. Could be anytime now so we just are waiting. I have a Sonogram on Thursday August 6th that will tell me his size and weight followed by a doc appointment to check my progression. I have been very uncomforatable starting this past week and have had a few actual contractions. I cant believe it is getting to be time. :) I will be 36 weeks and counting this weekend!

Poor Maddie!!

Maddie doesnt know what to think of all this new baby stuff. She has been extremly cuddly with me latley and always wants to be in the middle of what we are doing. This will be a new adventure for her too. Chris' Grandparents sent Cullan a bunch of Curious George books and stuffed Animal. Chris loved Curious George as a child. George has been hanging in Cullan's swing for the time being.

Cullan's Nursery

Chris and I have pretty much finished the Nursery. We have had a lot of fun getting it ready for Cullan.

My Step-Grandfather was an Artist and Drew this picture for me when i was young or my favorite Stuffed Animal "Pandy". Now I have passed it down to my Son.

This beautiful Pillow was made by Cullan's Grandma (Thesing). She also made him his baby quilt which i will post a picture later this week. Thank you again Carol, The pillow and Quilt are beautiful.

Grandma Steffens (Mimi) made this stain glass for my nursery and gave it to Cullan to have in his Nursery!

Brook and her new Company made Cullan's Initials in Pooh Fabric and Fabric to Match his bedding. It turned out great!! Thanks SunnyandBrookDesigns :)

24 Week Sonogram Picture

This should be the last of our sonogram pictures. They got everything they needed this time around and we shouldn’t be going for any more. Cullan was very active and showed us a lot of personality. First he was holding his toes in his hands and exploring those. Then he had an arm raised with one finger pointed up in the air for a while, and then rolled over to where his back was to us. So to get any face shots she bounced/pushed on my belly a lot. He finally rolled over a little, Kicked back at her, which I saw and felt!! Then he had on arm in the air and the other hand under his chin and was sticking his tongue out, which You see in this picture.

He weighed in at 1 pound, 14 ounces!!

Our Family Blog

I have created this blog page for when Cullan arrives. For now we will just post any baby news along the way. Cullan Ryan is due on August 30th. Chris and i are very much looking forward to our new addition to the family and will do our best to post pictures of him regularly for all our friends and family.

I am about 6 months along. We have been in a nightmare searching for day cares and a Pediatrician. We will find good ones, but it is a stressful process, as i am sure many of you know.
