How is Kate doing?

I haven't posted in a while on how Jana's pregnancy is going, so I thought I'd let everyone know that things are continuing to go smoothly. Jana is the picture of health with great blood pressure and appropriate weight gain and Kate continues to grow and measure appropriately. Each week the doctor measures Jana's belly and it is growing as it should. Kate's heart rate is great and when the doctor pokes on Jana's belly Kate's heart rate goes up as she moves around.

Jana is starting to get more uncomfortable as Kate starts to run out of room and as a result Jana's sleeping less soundly at night. Last night, for the first time this pregnancy, Jana had a few contractions during the night. Jana had the same thing with Drew around this time. We are 34 weeks along. Anything over 36 weeks is considered full-term, so we're almost there! We'd really like to keep Kate in at least another 3 weeks for her to get big and strong before she's born.

In preparation for Kate's arrival we're switching Drew to a big boy bed so that Kate can have his crib. I'll keep you posted on how that goes! Also, we have all our bedding and decorations picked out for Kate's room. Her room has deep red walls and this is what the bedding will look like:
Starting at our next appointment, we get to see the doctor every week for the rest of the pregnancy, so we can tell we're in the home stretch. Jana and I can't believe that there will be four of us soon!
