Another doctor update

So, it was a dark and stormy day. My allergies are going haywire causing lots of headaches (hopefully the rain will wash away the ragweed). Guy has a little cold and played hookie from work as well. I woke up at four this morning and knocked out two more weeks of lessons for my government class. So now I am planned through Thanksgiving. David and Louise brought up the camper yesterday. Louise will be arriving after church on Sunday to start her extended stay with us. I have been having lots of contractions (yes, the real ones!! not the fake Braxton Hicks ones!). Of course, they amounted to diddly squat. The doctor checked today. I am measuring 35 weeks (so at least he has dropped a little). I am still 1 cm dilated. My cervix is still long and high, but he could feel the baby's head (progress). He told us that we would not be having a baby today (ya think?). Guy is under the impression that Gabe will be here this week according to what he heard the doctor say. I only heard him say that he will be here before Mabry's sixth birthday (November 14th). Thank God! Anyway, we came home and had a couple of presents waiting on us. Here is a picture of Mabry with the travel system from Tom and Theresa (luckily, the cats haven't discovered it although Mabry's baby dolls have). Here is also a picture of Mabry with the pack and play that we got with a generous gift card from Ernie, Telithia, Donna, and Chris. Thanks to Ellen and Louise again for all the baby gear and clothes. Also, we want to thank Guy's professor, Dr. Monroe, for all the baby clothes that she sent us. We would be in a hard spot without friends and family. Anyway, send good labor vibrations this way. Tell Gabe that it is time to vacate the premises. I have had the joy for a year of getting to know my son. It is now time for him to meet his dad and big sister. Only four days left in the poll!! Don't forget to vote (thanks to all of you for your optimism)
