The NST went rather well. I had a few big contractions, but nothing too dramatic. Liam fell asleep and again they had to stimulate with the vibrate thing that we hate. He again jumped and about 10 minutes later got hiccups. Poor baby. We do NOT like it when they have to wake him up!
Our appointment with Dr. White went well. I gained 3 lbs, but since I lost 3 lbs. last week, I am back to where I was a few weeks ago. My blood pressure was again perfect - 112/68, no protein or sugar problems, etc. Not to get too gross, but I am beginning to loose the mucus plug. That basically means things are progressing. I am still 2 cm dilated and still roughly 80% effaced. As for Liam.... he is still a BIG boy!!! Dr. White said she is going to start calling him a monster because he is so big. He measured 39 weeks and she said he should be over 8 lbs. She thinks we will make it to next Thursday's induction, but says as soon as she says that he will prove her wrong. His heart rate stayed around the 140's. We asked her if they would be taking any special precautions during delivery because of the 2V cord and she laughed and said no. She said he seems as healthy as a horse and the 2V cord is not hindering him AT ALL. We are SO thankful that so far it seems he is healthy and perfect!!!
After the appointment Mommy and Daddy ran by Janie and Jack to purchase Liam the cutest outfit. Janie and Jack is my ultimate FAVORITE store and I love everything in the store for him. It gets me in serious trouble. When we were shopping in the store I told Tim that I am SO GLAD that we are having a boy. I can't imagine it otherwise! I have been waiting to get this outfit for awhile and we went to get it tonight. It is plaid pants with whales. I LOVE IT... check it out...... (the pictures don't quite do it justice... it is MUCH more adorable in person)

Brooke,
So happy to hear everything is going well. I'm sure God will take care of everything. Don't worry too much about Liam's weight. Maybe it's a Smith thing. Both our girls were over 8lbs. Savannah was 8lbs. 6oz. & Makenzie was 8lbs. 14oz.! (Makenzie even had the cord wrapped around her neck!) God blessed us with two great deliveries and I'm sure He will do the same for you. Can't wait to hear the good news!

We are both so excited for you and laugh at how spoiled Liam already is. Everything will go great on the delivery. It is so wonderful that you will have both sets of grandparents ready to enjoy this beautiful occasion. This could be your last post before we have the GREAT news that your both have been blessed with a healthy 10 lb(LOL) baby boy.
TOoo cute. Reminds me of a cute hooded zip up jacket that we got for AP at Baby Gap! Love little boy blue in whales!
I'm so glad everything is getting closer! I'll be crossing my fingers for only good weather over the next week, so your trek to the hospital (whether planned or unplanned!) will be uneventful and very fast... JUST LIKE LABOR!
How blessed that everything is going as planned. God is so good.
Liam is going to be a big boy and we know he is getting anxious to see his new bedroom at grandma & grandpa's house it is very special and done in puppies. Liam has a big sister (Phoebe) and that way when he is at grandma & grandpa's house it will remind him of her.
Liam be good to mommy and daddy next few days and let them get their rest they are going to need it.
Love Grandma & Grandpa
