39 weeks...still waiting

Here we are at 39 weeks. Another day. I always thought she might come a little early, but now I am thinking it is way more likely she will be a late bloomer. Having contractions all the time, but there is nothing consistent about them. Sometimes I get one that is strong, but it is not followed by anything significant. So the waiting continues. Good news is that I got her to spin around to the Left side which is a more optimal birth position. Hopefully that will make things easier on mommy when she does decide to make her grand entrance. I think Barry and I are finally set on the name, which is the name we came up with originally. Sorry all you naysayers that think it is "too common" or "boring". At least all her teachers will be able to pronounce and spell it!

4th of July

Barry took these pictures from our roof last night. We debated if it was worth the risk of me climbing on the roof, but the ladder was stable and the roof slope mild. The fireworks in the pictures were set off by our neighbors. Barry used the tripod and opened up the shutter for 8 seconds to capture the great shots. We had a great show!

Pregnant Ballet at 38 weeks

This was performed last night in my sad attempt to induce labor. No, it didn't work. But it did give Barry a huge laugh! I checked baby's heart rate after with my doppler, no distress noted although my pelvis felt rather distressed this morning!
