36 weeks

4 weeks left!!!! I can't believe we've gotten this far. I can remember just dreaming we'd get this far. At this point I know he can come at any time and would be a healthy boy. Although, I want him to wait for our c-section date because Derek will for sure be home. He leaves for Hawaii on Sunday and won't be back until around the time of the scheduled c-section.

With Derek being gone in Hawaii for what they say could be 8-10 months (we will see... it was supposed to be over 6 months last year and he was there for about 4), the boys and I will be visiting him about once a month. I know, rough times going to Hawaii once a month! I am hoping that with Owen being 5 and Ryken being pretty young, we will survive the 6 hour flight. I came across a little dilemma when it came to bring a stroller to Hawaii. I had purchased a Graco Snap n Go stroller and a Baby Trend jogging stroller secondhand. Which one to bring?? I kept toying with the idea of taking the jogging stroller, but the car seat doesn't attach and Ryken wouldn't be old enough to ride in it. It would be a huge help in the airport to lug carry on's in though. So I decided to research something that could work as both. I ended up selling both strollers on Craigslist not even 24 hours after I posted them. And yesterday I ordered this....

I'm really excited about it. The seat reverses so baby can face me, and it also lays flat which is PERFECT for a new baby. It comes with an infant car seat attachment so I can use it with the car seat... even better! I've read a ton of reviews and the only negative is that it is heavy... I've dealt with some heavy strollers before and I know this thing will be fine.

At my Dr's appointment today he's measuring right on still and his heartbeat sounds strong! I love hearing it!!! No progress, which is good since we will be bidding farewell to Derek this week... I must keep this boy in until he comes back home!
