I think my body is gearing up. I've had more contractions today than I have the past week - not to say that is even very many, but yesterday I started feeling a little different. I'm feeling more wet and today even wetter and more mucus is coming out. I think my plug is working its way out. I am hoping that means I am dilating and won't be spending a lot of time in early labor with a broken water sac. Baby is still in the same position though so he hasn't decided to actually go anywhere yet. I feel like I need to make sure all my ducks really are in a row though, so I txted M & T to make sure they were still willing to take the boys. I haven't heard back yet.

Matthew has been talking all week about taking me to the hospital this weekend, but wanted to teach his Sunday School lesson too so I was to either have the baby early enough in the weekend he could leave me and teach or wait until the lesson was done and then take me. On one hand I feel like we could go tonight and on the other I feel like it could still be another week. ALL of my pregnancies have ended on the weekend, so if I go on a weekday, that would be just weird. I have two different friends in town this week too, so I would love to be able to see them at least.

Over the last week I have felt ready. Ready to face the labor and delivery, which is totally opposite of how I've felt over the last couple of months. I have tried to channel the feelings of calm and 'down to business' when I've miscarried. I am hoping that will enable my body to work quicker and more efficiently. We shall see though.

I feel pretty good for being this far along (39 wks today). In fact, over the last week I have been more active than I have for awhile. I've ridden Matthew's bike a couple of days in a row and then we've gone on walks as a family in the evening. Perhaps that has something to do with feeling more crampy and wet today, but I don't know.

All of my projects are done. The only thing left is to wrap gifts for all the boys.

Oh yes, the subject of names came up again yesterday and I felt the timing was right to take the opportunity to mention using my maiden name as a middle name. Matthew surprised me by saying he was ok with that. End of discussion. So, I think we have a name!

Normally on Sundays both Matthew and I crash. We tried hard not to today though and ended up spending most of the afternoon/evening playing with the bean bags I made for the boys. In fact, we spent HOURS doing it before we called it quits. I think it has been a really good way to spend our last day as a family of four if that is how it turns out.
