Due date photo shoot

Barry lost his baby while I grew mine over the last 40 weeks!

Due Date!

40 weeks today. I will post some pictures later...after I get Barry to take some! I think our little girl is waiting for auntie Cory to show up on Sunday because I am sooo ready to be un-pregnant. I am now up 4-5 times at night to pee and my pubic bone feels like it is ready to split apart. And now the heat is back! Almost 90 today, no air conditioning, dark house paint and west-facing windows. The nice thing is that the outdoor pool Olympic length pool at Titlow is open so we've had some nice swims this week.
Barry and I made a "due date" date tonight and will be going out to dinner and possibly a movie. Each day could be the last opportunity for anything "just the two of us"!

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!
