Hi, baby boy! We had our appointment yesterday and it went well. Dr. Irvin was about to lay me back to measure my belly and I told her about losing my mucous plug on Sunday. She kinda gave me a funny look and then told me she was going to go ahead and check me. She said we're almost half a cm dilated, my cervix is still thick, and your head is not low yet. We gained 2.5 lbs- so that means now we're only down 8 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight.
Daddy is going to be headed to Minneapolis, Minnesota for training for his new job- his original travel dates were October 12-23 but they rescheduled to November 9-20! What timing, huh?!!! I told Dr. Irvin about it yesterday and she said we could deliver you a week early!!! I'm so excited! So I guess for now we can say you will be here on November 2! Unless you have other plans, of course. Grammy and Grandad are going to come stay with us when Daddy is gone.
Ava is starting to talk more about her baby brother. She says she is going to share her toys with you. Except she asked me the other night if she was going to have to give you her Puffy. I told her she was going to get to keep it but that she could pick out a stuffed animal just for you. Puffy is Ava's special animal and you'll have a special animal when you get here.
I finally started to wash all your new clothes. Grammy came over yesterday and I was showing her all your new stuff. You are going to look so cute- I can't wait to see you in all your new outfits! I'm going to order your artwork today and then your room will almost be complete. Still waiting on Daddy to get in touch with the crown molding guy.
Today Texas plays Tech so I need to get ready for the tailgate. You keep growing good in Mommy's belly! I love you, Wynn!

New milestone...
I know it's been a while since I've written- for some reason I just can't get it together to sit down and write. I know I'll regret it in the years to come. I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow so I'll try to post at least weekly until you get here.
Well today marks a milestone with this pregnancy: I lost my mucous plug. We were about to go to church and I headed to the bathroom for one last potty and out it came. My heart stopped but I remember losing it with Ava and it wasn't a big deal. I think I lost it around 34 weeks with her.
I've been "nesting" a lot lately. I cleaned out most of my closet yesterday, I had Daddy paint the play room and I reorganized it, and now I'm ready to organize my night stand (maybe I'll do that tonight). Probably driving your dad crazy- actually he's a clean freak so he's probably loving it. Your room is almost done. Daddy emailed the crown molding guy yesterday so hopefully it'll get done in the next few weeks. I have a mess in your room with new clothes that need to be washed and leftover nursery stuff for Ava. I just haven't been in the mood to figure out where the nursery leftovers need to go and I'm waiting on the next time I do Ava's laundry to throw your stuff in there with it. I feel like your arrival is still so far away but the reality is that it is probably going to happen sooner than I think.
We're going to see Dr. Irvin every two weeks now. We go this Friday. When we went last time, I had an ultrasound and the placenta previa went away (corrected itself). Thank goodness. They were also able to do some measurements of you and you measured 4 lbs, your head measured 3 weeks ahead of schedule, and the rest of you measured 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule. You are so active now and I love it! Sometimes it feels like you are having a party in my belly. Lately I've been craving ice cream- especially Klondike bars and Dibs. I'm totally walking with the pregnancy wobble- my groin is so tender. It feels like I've been sitting on a horse for days at a time. I've got secondary insomnia (meaning I fall asleep fine but can't stay asleep), I have restless legs, and getting comfortable when sleeping seems next to impossible. I still have yet to gain any weight- lucky for me! My belly is growing and everything else on me is shrinking- at our last appt I was down 10 1/2 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. I'm already getting focused on keeping the weight off after your arrival. Now that the previa is gone, I can get back into the gym, which I am excited about. I get tired and weak just walking a small distance so I'll get back to doing some light cardio workouts this week. Daddy thinks that'll help me sleep at night too.
I'm going to heat up some dinner now- leftover shrimp diablos, leftover stuffed mushrooms, and a grilled cheese. Hope you enjoy it!
I will write more at the end of the week!!!
Love you, baby boy!
