Seems like the last few days of pregnancy drag on longer than the entire 9 months! I've felt good and have not been too anxious, but as my due date approaches, it seems like it can't come fast enough. Especially after my last doctor appointment... note to self... not even the doctor knows when a baby will come, so don't listen to him or get your hopes up. haha I learned at my last appointment that I was already dilated to a 4 and 90% effaced. He was pretty sure that the baby would be coming over the weekend. He sent me home with the paperwork to give the hospital when she came and all the nurses were so excited for me. But guess what, the weekend came and went and there is no baby. (Well my brother and sister-in-law had theirs! Such a doll.) But this little diva is taking her sweet time. It was hard to get all psyched up after my appointment, because now every day feels REALLY long. Apparently I was having contractions according to the monitor... but I couldn't feel them. And I'm still not feeling much of anything. I don't even know what to expect when my body does decide to kick into gear. Anyway, we are so excited to meet our little girl regardless of when she decides to come and are just trying to stay busy and keep our minds occupied until she does! I haven't done much picture taking lately, but I have a few snapshots from my phone for the sake of making this post more interesting :)
We've been trying to stay active and enjoy some days of warm weather. Last month we decided to go for a little hike. It was a little longer and steeper than we anticipated haha But we enjoyed it!
We planned a baby shower for my sister-in-law and I had fun discovering some delicious new truffle recipes from
melskitchencafe.com. Baking never fails as a favorite pass time... it's resisting eating the results that makes it hard :)
When we went to the specialist to check on baby girl's heart, they did a 3D ultrasound... that was pretty fascinating to see. Do you see those cheeks? And full little lips? Oh my, I am so in love already I can hardly stand it. Whenever I feel discouraged I just glance at this glamor shot and remember that it is all going to be worth it :) Okay it may just look like a blob of black and white to you, but I love it.
Not a glamor shot, but HOPEFULLY the last belly shot before she comes!

I'm glad that I get to send a final well-wish before the big day. you are in my thoughts...and that sweet baby...and matt(because heaven knows that childbirth is tough on soon-to-be dads too)!:)
