This will be my last post...

before Bray!  Not because I know when she is coming, but because I refuse to post again until I have an outside baby to post about! :)

It could really be any day now, and I am getting so impatient!  As of last Monday (2/14) I was already 2cm.  My midwife swept my membranes (which means she sort of loosened stuff up in there to get things going - OUCH!), and it led to lots of contractions that night.  I was pretty hopeful!  Tuesday some "other things" progressed which led me to believe I've dilated even more.  But, here it is Saturday, the day after a FULL MOON, and no Bray Elizabeth.  Little stinker!  My next appointment is Tuesday afternoon, and at that point, we'll set up an induction date.  My doctor doesn't let you go beyond 41 weeks.  I seriously hope I don't have to be induced, but I am willing to do anything to meet this baby girl!

I really didn't think I would do it, but I had some maternity pictures made!  My wonderful neighbor and best friend, Stephanie, has an awesome camera and an fabulous sense of creativity.  She was wanting to do pictures of Bray for me for our birth announcements, so she wanted to practice a few shots on me!  I'm really glad I agreed to now, as I am sure I will always cherish this pictures.  I am very ready to get my normal body back, but it's so amazing to see how God has built us to grow and nurish our babies.
