9 months and 3 weeks! 7 days to go...

This will probably be my last blog until after the baby comes! Only one week to go until my expected due date (May 3rd). I am so ready to meet this baby! Today, as one last hoorah, Keith and I drove out to play in the poppy fields and we got some nice pictures of me and the belly in it's nearly ten month glory! Can't believe I let him take these pictures, but we had fun. Hope you enjoy!

9 1/2 months- 13 days to go

Getting really close!- and it's a good thing too. We have a doctor's appointment with internal checkup every week now. So far, still no progress, but the doctor did do an ultrasound so we could get an idea of how big the baby is. Oh my, good news for the baby- not so good news for my vagina! With two weeks to go, this baby is already measuring at 7lbs 13oz.! I don't know if I've ever seen Keith happier! He is so proud he has a big healthy baby in there. After hearing that news though, I am more than ready for this baby to come out. I have fairly regular Braxton Hicks contractions now and in general just feel achey all the time. Add a trip to the bathroom every 30 minutes and yeah, I'm ready. Please come soon Peanut, the thought of going late really bums me.

21 days and counting!

Today, I am 37 weeks + 3 days and look it. I pretty much feel like a planet. I just read that the baby is the size of a watermelon, so naturally I am feeling a little anxious about pushing this watermelon out of something more the size of a lemon:( But all in all, I feel pretty relaxed and prepared for the big day. Keith and I are so excited, we just can't wait to meet Peanut. I have been having plenty of Braxton Hicks contractions for the past week, but other than that I feel okay- just ready for this baby to come out. I haven't done belly shots in a long time, so for those of you who love these darn things, here is my watermelon as of this morning! Thankfully, I still haven't gotten any stretchies on my tummy (although I do have that faint weird vertical line that most pregnant women get) and there is no sign of my belly button popping out any time. Thankful for a deep innie :)
