Waiting

Now that we're done traveling on the weekends while we're waiting for baby to arrive, we've been able to get caught up on a lot of things around the house which has been great. It makes us feel even more ready for this baby to come! Well, at least me anyway.

The past couple of weekends when we've been home, Daddy has served us up pancakes made-to-order! Mine was chocolate chip and Brynn had hers with M&M's. Yum.

It was a perfect night outside one night last week and Brynn and Rosha were able to reunite in the park to take advantage of it. They sure do miss each other.

BUMPdate: 38 weeks!
Well, here we are at what feels like the bitter end. At least we've made it this far which is 2 1/2-3 weeks longer than with Brynn. I had my last appointment this past Tuesday in which I was dilated to 4 cm. I feel like the baby has dropped now, and my doctor was able to confirm that she is definitely lower than my last visit. I have more lower back pain now and my Braxton Hicks contractions are definitely more intense all the time.

Grandma Holly is on standby, I've download a contraction counter app onto my phone, and bags are packed! I go in again tomorrow, so we'll see if anything has progressed further since last week. I think every day I show up again at work my co-workers are surprised to see me. Ha. I guess it could be any day now, but that's the hardest part....just not knowing when.

They put out a sheet for guesses at my office. Gene in our crop production department crossed out his own guess - he had 8/10 down and explained something about it being a full moon that night and the gravitational pull being at its strongest, etc etc, but then I guess he said he realized I wasn't going to make it that long and he crossed out his guess. Ha. Apparently my own guess was just wishful thinking. :-)
