After a fun, relaxing, and productive Christmas and New Year, we find ourselves in 2008 and awaiting Noah's arrival. We had a great time with family in Hendersonville for 5 nights during Christmas. Tyra started to experience several Braxton-Hicks contractions while we were away, and it was neat to hear her explain what it felt like. These "practice" contractions make it all the more REAL that the big day is coming so soon!
We came back to Knoxville on Dec. 27 and have been getting a lot done. We have visited two pediatrician's offices who have been (very) highly reccomended. We loved them both, and they're both very close to our house, which is good. On Dec. 28, Tyra had her 35 week doctor appointment/ultrasound. Noah and Tyra are doing great. He is head-down, which is great, and we loved being able to see him again on the monitor. The ultrasound tech. estimated that right now (or on Dec. 28), he weighs 6.3 lbs, give or take a pound. So, he's going to be nice and chubby! And, in the ultrasound, he had a hairful or hair that you could clearly see floating around. I'm so proud of Tyra and how great she's done in this pregnancy. She's never (OK...very RARELY) complained or been cranky and has really enjoyed the whole thing.
Last night, we finished hanging some picture frames in Noah's room and have begun getting some essentials ready to take to the hospital. Hopefully we'll have our bag packed soon.
Happy New Year to everyone!
