Now that Clayre has the crawling thing down, she’s gone back to talking up a storm.  No surprise, one of her favorite words is Da-Da.  Makes me smile.

She'll be here soon!

We talked the nurses into playing with the ultrasound machine today.  They had a lot of fun, and we got to see our baby girl.  She’s dialated 3cm and 80% effaced.  (not sure on the spelling)

Hollie’s been having more contractions over the last few days, so we’ve decided to start tracking them.  Obviously we won’t be tracking all of them, but will hopefully do this at least once a day.  The word on the street is that when they hit 1 minute in duration at 5 minutes apart, it’s time to make our way to the hospital.

Had to remove the table because it was causing problems.

Hollie, Clayre and I are spending the day today and half a day tomorrow at Baylor hospital in Fort Worth. We’re here doing our childbirth class so we’ll be ready to go in 54 days. I think I know more now about the process than I ever wanted to know. Ignorance is bliss.

Hollie will be in Conway for a couple weeks in August, so if you want to see her all full of baby, that would be your best opportunity. There are a few showers scheduled and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone!

Went to the DR for another checkup.  Everything seems to be going great!  Quality on this video is not wonderful, but if you listen carefully, you can hear baby Clayre’s heartbeat.
