This last week we had an awesome birthing class with Nurse/Aunt Ruth. It was so helpful and I feel like we are a little bit more prepared for the birthing process. She taught us what to expect with the first signs of active labor and what to do to make it through contractions. It was nice being able to have a class with someone we know so well and can ask all our questions to. We learned that I may have had a few contractions already. I wasn't sure what they were but when I explained them to Ruth she said they could have been contractions. I have been woken up 3 different times by that tight feeling in my belly accompanied with pain. I usually can't stay in bed when they come, or at least it is easier to deal with when I get up. So I try to walk around and do the hip sway thing.Nana Newton sent a package for the baby this week. She made this adorable blanket!
Baby is going to love it, but in the mean time, Daddy is enjoying it! We can't wait to wrap her up in her blankets and rock her to sleep! She's going to be here SOOOO soon!! Yay!!We have been researching strollers these past several weeks and had pretty much decided that we wanted a BOB. We went to REI last weekend to test drive them and the employee told us that the REI yard sale was only one week away.
So on Saturday morning we got up at 5am and waited in line for the store to open at 10. It was one of those fun things that we got to do together for the baby. We were in the first group of people to be let in and Jimmy immediately saw a double BOB.
Obviously we don't need a double right now but we got such a great deal on it so we decided to get it. We are SO happy that they had one there. You just never know what they're going to have at those yard sales but we got lucky! The BOB has so many great features especially for where we live. It has the large, all-terain wheels that will work well on our dirt/gravel roads out here.

We can't wait to go to the doctor on Wednesday and see what updates we will get about this little girl!

So glad you went through the birthing process to help with the "evacuation" of little Miss Newton. Aunt Ruth is the perfect person to tell you all about it and can answer any questions you have. You two are so silly, waiting in line for a stroller-but worth it! You can put the baby on one side and tired mom on the other side, dad can push! Belly button is so cute - don't pop quite yet!
That is one sweet stroller.
Worth waiting for. :)
You're equipped for baby no.2 now!
You're lucky to have your very own birth coach-teacher. You two will do awesome!
ONE MONTH!!!
btw, the picture of you two outside R.E.I.... hilarious! I laughed so hard.

You are getting so close! I can't believe you are 35 weeks! I loved the stroller story, classic. I'm also glad Jimmy is such a trooper and will do those fun things with you!
So exciting! It's getting close. We have the exact same Bob. You will love it.
Cutest belly every, Jules! You look great! I can't believe you are soooo close. We are all looking forward to the announcement of the arrival of sweet Mary Alice. We pray for her and for you every day (and yes, Jimmie, we pray for you too :). Good luck with those last days! Love ya!
Wow, nice stroller:) You won't be disappointed with a double. Joggers are so big you might as well have a double and not have to make the purchase again! You look fabulous, I hope all goes well. It's one of the best experiences in life to meet your own child.
