I had my weekly doctor's appointment this morning. Here are the stats: 2 cm dilated, 50% effaced. I could tell that the baby had switched positions since I'm feeling kicks on the other side of my tummy these past few days. I was a little concerned that his head might not still be down, but the doctor assured me that his head is so low and so engaged that he's not going anywhere. At this point, we're just waiting for contractions. I'm trying to just be patient and enjoy these last few days of life as a mother of 1. Sometimes, at night, I think I'm ready to have this baby just so I can sleep again. Then I realize that's not exactly going to be the case. Ha ha! God has a great sense of humor, doesn't he?
Oh yeah ... in case you've been following my stroller saga. I did end up ordering the BOB Revolution Duallie. I know some of you are also shopping around for a double and in case you are also interested in the BOB, Janelle brought to my attention today REI's 20% off coupon, which is truly the best deal around if you want to buy this stroller. Just thought I'd let you know ... :)
Oh yeah ... and one more thing. A friend of mine shared these great coupons for diapers with me this week. I still use cloth around the house, but use disposables whenever we are out and about. Walgreens had their brand on sale last week 2/$9 (Huggies Supreme Natural Fit are my faves, but Walgreens brand does the job just fine!). I used the coupons and ended up getting them for $2.50/pkg. I bought 24 pkgs! I have noticed they run the 2/$9 sale often, and the coupons don't expire until the end of June, so keep your eye out and you can save a lot of money! If you would like me to end you the coupons, just leave your email address in the comments section.
And just because I think he's the cutest thing ever ...

I agree- he's just about the cutest thing. He has such a sweet face! Congrats on the new stroller. I'm sure you're totally excited. Hang in there, number 2 will be here before you know it and life will never be the same, again, in a good way.
Wow, time does fly! We'll be praying for you these last few days/weeks. Our transition from one to two was much easier than I thought, I'm confident that your transition will be the same!!!
He is so adorable, can't wait to see if Landon is another "mini-shirley" like Tanner is!
Rach, I am PUMPED for you on your great stroller deal! Awesome job and way to go Janelle on finding the coupon!! I hope you were able to get free shipping too, which would make the deal sweeter! You are going to love it...
I digress--It might sound like I'm more excited about a stroller than the arrival of #2, which is completely inaccurate! We will be checking the blog repeatedly while on vacation in FL to make sure we're not missing out on your labor!! Prayers!!!
Hey Rach...I just LOVE keeping up on you guys thru your blog! Can't wait to hear all about Hall boy #2 ;-) I'd love to hear about the coupon offer!!! Love Dana
We are all eagerly awaiting the arrival of #2. Tanner will be a great big brother and a big help. Having two is double the fun!
