Today we celebrated our 33 week appointment in labor & delivery at the University of Utah. After spending a couple of hours hooked up to monitors with minimal contractions we were free to go.

When I was put on bedrest at 20 weeks, 24 weeks seemed manageable. 28 seemed achievable. and 32 felt REALLY FAR AWAY. and now at 33 weeks we are grateful for the anticlimactic and extremely boring pregnancy it has been. Prayer really works and we have seen that first hand over the last couple of weeks. Most of the anxiety has subsided and we are making final preparations and getting very excited to meet this little guy.
Today while I wracked up a nice fat hospital bill, Spencer suggested that we auction off the baby’s name. To the highest bidder goes the honor and privilege of naming our son.
Let the bidding start at $100 (plus a couple more zeros)

You look great! And what an achievment. I need to hook you up with my SIL who just got put on bedrest at 28 weeks. Maybe you have ideas or entertaining websites, etc. We are excited to see this little boy.
I am sooo happy that you are 33 weeks. I remember coming to your place when you were just put on bedrest and it all seemed so far away and you were hoping to make it to 28 weeks. That baby is cooking and he is going to be soooo perfect. I can't wait to see pictures of him, but I can wait another 7 weeks or so! K, i love you sar bear.
p.s. you backside is so skinny. seriously from the back you don't even look pregnant at all.
You really do look good--I know you don't think so, but just accept it. You look fabulous.
LOVE the shirt!! You look great Sara! We love you and think of you all the time

Whoo Hoo! That is awesome that you have made it this far. You are still SO tiny and look great!
$101 if you name him Willis.
Sara I am stalking you... so don't judge me. I just love you. I am SO excited for you. Also, Jordan and I heard the BEST story from a girl who grew up with someone named La-a (pronounced La-dash-a). So I will pay you $1000 if you name your boy La-o (La-dash-o. It's more manly.)
Yay!! You are in my prayers, all of you. I can't wait for photos of this little one:))
How about the name, Cole or Drew or Wes? Some of my other favorites, Noah and Henry (Hank:)
Good Luck - names are hard, but whatever you name him, it will stick and seem perfect after a few days:)
love you!
I'll give you $50 if you name your child Eaglethorpe.
Also, I can't wait to see the little guy either!
yay i'm so glad you have made it to 33! only a few more weeks to go! you look great!! :)
This next little bit is gonna go so fast! I'm getting so excited to see your little guy! He's gonna be adorable and you guys are gonna make amazing parents!
Oh by the way, I went 41 weeks with Evie so I played online scrabble to pass the time.
Yay! So close to being all the way there! And for $150 I will give you the name of Aaron. Tanner for the middle name. You're welcome.
What a relief!! What a great accomplishment. I am glad you are hanging in there and the baby is too!
If you have an auction in 30 years, we can participate....that's how long it'll take to pay off dental school loans...boo..
Sara!! 33 WEEKS!! Oh my heck girl - thats so awesome! I'm so happy that you and your little boy are healthy and hangin' in there! Not much longer girl :) Keep us updated! And you look so good by the way!
I'm so excited for you! 33 is some seriously good progress! There's nothing better than having a boring uneventful pregnancy. Keep up the good incubating!!!
YAY!!!!!!!! YOu are the cutest pregnant person in the entire world!!! I am so excited for you! YOu are going to be the best mom in the whole world! I can't wait to meet him. You better let me know when he is coming so I can rush down there!!!! Love you!!
I normally don't comment, to put it bluntly... I blog stalk you. :) I'm so excited that you made it to 33 weeks. My two youngest girls were born at 29 & 32 weeks. I'm so happy that you have made it to 33 weeks!!
You look SOOO GOOD!!!! all that bedrest done you good. Your belly is the cutest! love you
Yay for 33 weeks! That's me tomorrow, too!
As for names... here's a few we really liked but didn't go with. Sawyer, Hayden, Landon, Brendon, Andrew, Corey.
Hmmm... some more I've heard recently - Lincoln, Mason, Porter, Max, Brock(ston), Austin, Landon.
I'm sure you won't like any names anyone suggests and something will just magically come to you. Or maybe this will actually have helped! Good luck!
And on an angry note... You are way cuter than me! Cute little belly and skinny little sides! So jealous!
I love how many comments you get. It makes total sense that you have so many friends! :) That is so awesome that you have made it to 33 weeks, totally worth the boredom I bet! Anyway, we were in a married student ward with Burke and Chelsea right before we moved to Wymount. So funny. I miss you too! :)
I'll pay you $50 not to name your kid Brockston.
I'm so excited for you-- 33wks is AWESOME! You look fabulous, too! You are getting so close to the point where junior could possibly go home with you!! Sleep while you can 'cause your nights of good sleep are definitely numbered!!
1000 CASH is u name him kobe bryant orton
i know you probably already have a name picked.. and i can't wait to find out what it is! the baby bump and you look so good! I LOVE YOU!
hahaha I love this post :)
33! Is that a Braves shirt you are wearing? :) How about George. After the great state of Georgia.
My bid is 1001 dollars. If I win I will reveal the name at that time. (You didn't require that the bidders tell you in advance, right?)
kobe bryant orton wins my bet. $1000 cash from erin and $500 from me. you CANNNOT beat that.
