We only have 22 days until our due date! Now's the time to take the bets! Who thinks she's coming early? Who thinks she's coming late? What is her hair color going to be? What about her eyes? How much will she weigh? How long will she be? Will my labor with her be quick and easy or will she be stubborn coming out, making the process long and painful? So many questions that I'm asking myself these days. One thing is for sure, she is still VERY active! She was probably the most active I've ever seen her last night. She was moving all over the place! From one side of my stomach to the other. From the bottom of my big belly bulge to the top. It was quite entertaining! :P Michael was watching her with me and just kept saying, Oh! Woah! Oh! Haha! It was so great! :) Having her be so active was a fun way to end the day since I was feeling so cruddy yesterday. :) I'm not sure if all of that movement is her trying to get out, or if it's just her playing and enjoying her current home, but she's fixing to get evicted very soon. ;) Tomorrow we hit 37 weeks and our little girl has made it to full term. Beginning tomorrow we'll try every trick in the book to see if we can persuade our little angel to join us on the air breathing side of the world. ;) It's been such an exciting process watching her and I grow together. I can't wait to meet her! Michael is excited to meet her too. Turns out that she and her Daddy have a little secret. Every night lately when I fall asleep and I'm cuddled up next to Michael, our little girl gets super active. Thank heaven's I've been able to sleep through all of this, but Michael lays there and feels her as she kicks and squirms and wiggles into his side. :P This makes me glad I didn't go ahead and buy one of those pregnancy pillows, because if I had, Michael wouldn't have been able to get a small glimpse of what it's felt like for me the last several months to have this squirmy baby inside. ;) What a fun memory for him. :) Not much time left to go now. We have a baby shower on Saturday at church, and then Michael and I can buy the last couple of items on our list to prepare for baby girl's arrival. It's all coming into place. :) The hospital bags are packed, the carseat is installed and in the car, the nursery is (all but) ready, and now we just need a perfect little girl to make our home complete. :) Stay tuned here on the blog and on my facebook for all the details these next few weeks. I'd be willing to bet money that we meet this little girl before 22 days are up... We shall see. ;) I know I told you all yesterday my dilation and effacement stats, but I thought I would add a couple more pieces of information to that... First of all, she's sitting very low a lot of the time now. My bladder can certainly tell a change in her position. :P Sometimes I think she puts extra pressure on my bladder just to get a rise out of me. :P I'm also having LOTS of Braxton Hicks contractions. They aren't extremely consistant yet, but we're getting there. ;) Yesterday I took a 15 minute long shower. During that time I counted 5 Braxton Hicks contractions. Now, these could actually be real contractions, but as a first time mom, I'm not certain. They don't hurt, so I'm assuming they are the fake ones. Either way, just one more sign that the baby and my body are getting ready for the big day (hopefully sooner rather than later). :) Wish me luck! Thanks for reading and I will keep you all informed with further developments. :) Happy Thursday, Everyone! :)
